How sad is this?

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Three Americans in Australia for fun and sun come across a couple of local boys who tell them a "real live" ghost story. The story goes, a motorcyclist was killed one night on the road by a car of speeding teens. If a carload of teens go speeding down the highway, a light appears behind the car that looks like a motorcycle. The kids do it and sure enough they see the light except for Maya (Jessica Tovey) whose hobbies include nose bleeds, bad dreams , and sleep walking.After a night at the local's house they go try it again, this time stationing Oscar (Andrew Ryan) on the side of the road with phone camera to catch a close up of said ghost...things don't go the way the kids would have wanted it.The script shows originality. I thought the twist was a letdown as compared to the biker story. It was at this point the low budget aspect entered the film. The build up to the killings was more scary and suspenseful than the killing themselves.Guide: F-bomb. Brief rape and nudity (Piera Forde)

Urban legends, where's the time that there was a flick simply named that way. But back to this flick. Friends on holiday do hear by local youth about an accident happened way back on Lemon Tree Passage were one died and when you drive the Passage very fast you will see it's ghost.Promising, yes, and it starts off rather okay with something seen on youtube of someone capturing the light of the ghost on the passage and do they scream, yes, so hell is out there. Let me tell you, it was hell to watch this.Nothing works here, the story is simple, the effects are laughable, for example the hanging, okay, I can dig it, but the rope isn't tight and still he do hang. Really? And there are other things that made me go ooow, and huh all over this flick. And the ending so predictable, no I rather stay away from this passage.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

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 Austrlian people and their country are very dangerous and can make for great characters, especially in horror. 'Lemon Tree Passage' relies far too heavily on the supernatural, more than any film should. It starts off as a story about an urban legend based on a long strip of road and by the end is something else entirely (what I'm not exactly sure). The writing is so poor throughout that it's almost impossible to get a grip on exactly what is happening and why.There aren't a lot of frights at any stage of the movie. The opening scene is bizarre and poorly directed and things don't get any better from there. From a very early point it becomes hard to care about the fate of any of the characters. The only one with any personality isn't in it for long and the rest really have nothing going for them. There's no time spent creating any tension is any scene and the suspension of disbelief is far too great to ever buy into (or care) about the story that's trying to be told here. A real misfire.

I was excited to catch the Australian's urban legend on film. But I was truly disappointed 1/3 through the movie. I've read many versions of the Lemon Tree Passage legend and I'm asking myself, how is that a movie using the title Lemon Tree Passage but plots nothing relevant about the tales. You don't just create an urban legend. You go by it. You tell the tales as it is. Not using it as a title but end up showing nothing relevant. I hope someone will direct and produce something along the line of the urban tales of Lemon Tree Passage. Something which is relevant to LEMON TREE PASSAGE! Do some research before making a movie. Have some respect. Even if it's just another urban legend.
