'The Furies' (2019) Tony D'Aquino.

Satisfyingly gruesome Aussie horror wherein the thrill-seeking viewer vicariously enjoys the sudden abduction of pretty protagonist Kayla (Airlie Dodds) and her brutalizing outdoors ordeal of having to survive an especially vicious Battle Royale, cruelly isolated in the disorientatingly arid desolation of the unforgiving Australian outback! With inventive gore gags enthusiastically drowning out a somewhat derivative text, the plentifully gruesome kills have an endearingly vintage 'Hills Have Eyes' intensity. Blessed by an engagingly sympathetic final girl, splatter mad hatter Tony D'Aquino's riotously retrograde, fabulously fearsome fright-flick 'The Furies' is a laugh riot of gonzo-grisly, body rupturing overkill that heroically hits the sardonic splatter movie sweet spot with a gleefully grot-encrusted ten-pound hammer! And I liked the amusing manner in which a number of especially sinister 80s slasher icons are playfully referenced in the 'beauty' hunting 'Beasts' majestically macabre masks, kudos to the super-creepy 'Stagefright' and 'The Burning' B-Movie berserkers! I genuinely haven't laughed so horrifically heartily since I first saw Peter Jackson's gut-bustingly funny Sci-Splatter classic 'Bad Taste'. And as an additionally skewed treat, the altogether delightful Linda Ngo's exquisitely annoying, perma-whinging, wonderfully wilting Rose frequently had me in phooken pieces, mayte!

'Arguably the best Aussie outback horror since 'Wolf Creek'. More toothsome than 'Razorback', gamier than 'Road Games', this sublime splatter stew contains enough chewy gourmet grisliness for ravening gore hounds to hungrily pig out on!' - Weirdlingwolf / Dirty Kunst Video.

'If you want juvenile jump-scare jackanapes look elsewhere, as 'The Furies' is an audaciously bloodthirsty, gore-iously old school chunkblower!' Marjorie Mayhem / TerrorTarot.org.
