For Christmas, Shazza (Anastasia C. Kouloukas) and Dazza (David Black)
go to the outbacks for a picnic - well, their version of the outbacks is a
speck of woodland pretty much in the center of the city, but Shazza and
Dazza are not exactly the brightest, so they manage to lose their way, get
onto some sacred Aboriginal site and desecrate it - out of ignorance
rather than spite. As a result, a the Bunyip, a creature from Aboriginal
mythology who's guarding the site, soon goes on a rampage and kills more
than his fair share of people in the park - something that really doesn't
faze our heroes until they stumble upon piles upon piles of severed
bodyparts. A floating red skull appears to them, spouting ominous warnings
but also giving them clues how to end this all. But as mentioned before,
Shazza and Dazza aren't the brightest ... Now if you're looking
for subtlety in your comedy, this is probably not your film, as here, the
humour is broad, at times also crude and gross - and it's also pretty
funny as however unrefined the humour might be, it (and the film as a
whole) is also completely unpretentious. Basically, it's jokes crossed
with monsters and gore, grounded by two characters who in all their
stupidity are still very likeable, all resulting in a pretty fun ride. If
this has at all gotten you interested, Badass Bunyip premieres on
