Sorry, this movie sucks

Nice effects though.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I watched There's Something In The Pillaga on Prime Video which actually does have some great horror movies. Being curious I watched in and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. This film is a found footage one and even though that genre is kind of being done to death, this was a better attempt than most these days.
The story involves Jay (Brendan Byrne) and his mate and cameraman Dylan (Paul Denham) as they travel around with Jay's dog. They both pick up a couple of intoxicated girls and then things take a turn for the worse.
Filled with tension and quite a few good scares this film does not hesitate but jumps right in.
All the actors in this do an excellent job and the they filmmakers are careful to keep the jump scare to a minimum. All up, this is a welcome addition to Aussie films but if I had one complaint, it would be that it went just a tad too long. Instead of finishing it on a really terrifying note, the filmmaker kept it going and to me, it started losing suspense. But that is just a small complaint considering the film's overall fine acting and camera work. I would definitely watch it again.

THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE PILLIGA is an indie comedy/horror flick from Australia which has a little of the trademark Aussie charm and humour to get by. It's a found footage-style effort that features a number of dumb characters who come into contact with a Yowie, an Australian-style Bigfoot creature of legend. This can just about be classed as an 'Ozploitation' movie, although as with many indies it's very rough around the edges and slow at times. The fact that the monster is never seen is a bit of a disappointment, but perhaps for the best. Expect a lot of character interaction, jokes, arguments, titillation, and the usual genre tropes.

Another handy cam film like Blair Witch and The Tunnel. Movie drags on for 80 minutes and nothing really happens. Just driving around for most of the movie. Terribly written with boring dialogue which is saved by the decent acting of the leads. It is Nicely shot showing the Outback of Australia i give it that, but the over using the camera in the car when it wasn't really needed made me dislike this film more. I don't think this movie had any real story line just a lot of bogon talking and terrible directing and edited like a student film. 60 minutes of nothing with 20 minutes of something. Im amazed this movie was made for $84,000 or even funded at all.

There's Something In The Pilliga (TSITP) is a standout among found footage films. Minimal budget and many non-actors have helped convey a mood and theme that is desolate, dark and downright creepy. Imperfection is undoubtedly a gift in this case whether it be through the cinematography or in fact the acting - it simply works. It's also not hard to follow. Two guys meet two girls at a pub in outback Australia on New Year's Eve and talk them into a drive to see their friend in the woods. They arrive only to find the friend is missing. The fact it is also based on a true story is also downright creepy. Australia is a dangerous place and not very forgiving when you're out in the outback. It is no different this time either. When the four people try to find the missing friend they are stalked by a Bigfoot and one by one taken out. The fact you barely see the creature also works. Less is more in this case. On the whole it's easily in front of other found footage and Bigfoot films for many reasons. Leoni Leaver and Brendan Byrne's acting, the cinematography, the locations, the score has the story. It doesn't rely on the monster too much and uses the outback as a scary character. The outback is arguably to scariest character of them all! Easily a four star film, highly recommend it to any horror or found footage fan who likes suspense and subtle scares. If you didn't like it I'd say you need to watch it again because the more you do the better it gets as you learn more details. (TSITP) is real hidden Aussie gem!
