The American Maya (Jessica Tovey), Amelia (Pippa Black) and her brother Toby (Tim Pocock) are spending vacation in Australia. The meet the locals Geordie (Tim Phillipps) and Oscar (Andrew Ryan) on the beach and Oscar tells a ghost story at the campfire.
OK, I agree. They should have gone for the urban legend story.
Lemon Tree Passage had so much potential. And I'm not completely certain that it still couldn't be fixed.
The Lemon Tree Passage Ghost is a local legend of my hometown about a ghost on a motorbike who follows people going 100km/h. A motorbike crashed into a milk van a while back here and he died, he was speeding and that's what had caused it.
Lemon Tree Passage looks like a movie made from three different rejected screenplays. It's utterly inconsistent, shifting its tone multiple times and using cliché base premise that doesn't pan out in any way.
I was looking for a b horror when I chose this . I didn't expect much at all .
I was excited to catch the Australian's urban legend on film. But I was truly disappointed 1/3 through the movie.
Austrlian horror films have a good track record (at least in my book). The best ones like 'Wolf Creek' however don't rely on the supernatural.
The originality of Lemon Tree Passage is the first thing to be happy about. As such it's never boring and easy to consume, delivering up a good many moments of tension.
