“Carnifex” (*1/2 out of four) was an unbearably dull horror thriller set in the Australian outback in which a documentarian (Alexandra Park) and 2 environmentalists (Harry Greenwood and Brendan Rock) venture into the woods to rescue animals displaced by a brushfire but are mauled and attacked by a new breed of terror unlike anything they’ve ever seen. Made in conjunction with a video-game of the same name released simultaneously; hopefully the game is more exciting than anything in this feature film. Even the Australian scenery is drably filmed. Directorial debut for noted editor Sean Lahiff whose “Wolf Creek” movies had more scares and verve in their opening scenes than this entire movie.
