Synopsis

When wannabe-singer Oscar is fired from her band and her boyfriend walks out, she heads to a remote cabin in the woods outside a ghost town called Tarnation to reflect on her life choices. But the woods are home to a demon unicorn, whose satanic master seeks Oscar's blood to complete a ritual that will raise Satan himself from Hell. Oscar must battle with a ungodly force of evil, capable of possessing any soul, to not only save her own life but to stop TARNATION descending upon the world.

TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
clgipson This was a cringe fest and i love horror movies...just stop
laurie-strode Yeah. It might be. Rock'n'roll. I wish I could include a plot summary here, but there is none. This movie just gets more and more bonkers.
comblitz This is so bad, it's not even worth joking about. Lady runs out of house in panic 2 guys chase her in monk clothing 2 guys catch up to her and she becomes like Bruce Lee and takes them down (why did she run in the first place with such fear on her face if she had those mad skills?) So obvious the punches and kicks weren't landing, maybe the director saw movies like this where we believe they were being hit and thought it was easy to replicate. She starts chanting. A ridiculous cheap prop of a black unicorn comes out and stabs her with her horn in a very obvious "on the side"fake out. I am done.I AM WRONG if this scene turns out to be some professor in college showing the class how not to make a movie, but I think this was actually an attempt to have a compelling introduction.I think there should be some child labor investigation because this seems to be made by a bunch of kids in 2nd grade.
lost-in-limbo Is there originality in its all too familiar bubblegum premise, no, well actually, kinda? This Australian minor-budgeted feature does walk the walk of throwing gimmicky ideas out there and seeing what sticks. The canvas is abstract, and wall-to-wall impulsive. So prepare to be tripped out and boozed up, drowned in squirting blood, rocking out some tunes and bombarded by dopey possessed (friends turned) ghouls in what feels like a whiplash of genre homages. A cabin-in-the-sticks trope screaming "Evil Dead" - well, hidden away in the corner of the shack is a poster for the film - engulfs this raunchy, crazy-stupid demonic branded horror of cartoonish thrills, pulsating stoner humour and self-knowing performances set up against an eliminating backdrop of pop-up aesthetics, stagey sets, a fog machine and green/pink fluorescent lighting.This is the type of film you'll either be turned off by its in-your-face obnoxiousness, and amateurish-looking theatre quality or shut off your brain and simply go along with this dirty, wild weekend from hell. I went with the latter, although there are spots where the fun turns to mockery, which can test your patience. Anyway what do you expect when you get a mechanical demonic unicorn head puppet(?!), sometimes becoming a human/unicorn hybrid with feathered wings which can fly(?!), centipede crawling out of a... ah, best you see it yourself(?!), a mutant spider bug from hell(?!), a lot releasing of bodily fluids, a zombie kangaroo with boxing gloves(?!), a bleeding painting that can foretell the future, a blood-soaked fur rug that transforms into a gateway for evil minions and a climatic rap-off against the forces of evil. I'm sure something there, will be tempting enough. Nice to see these moments are done using practical effects and Daisy Masterman was a lot fun as the brash heroine."Tarnation" doesn't pretend to be anything else than what it's all about; crass laughs and outrageous shocks on-the-cheap. I might have to check out the director's other films, "Sheborg Massacre" and "Murderdrome" to see if they're as just bonkers.
