Gone (VI) (2006)
7/10
Nice surprise find!
13 May 2024
I stumbled across this on the "Tubi" app It caught my eye because a scene shown in the teaser is filmed in a building in King's Cross that I lived in in the 1980s, thought I'd give it a try and was pleasantly surprised!

Following scenes are filmed around Byron Bay, Lennox head, Mullumbimby and Billinudgel, an area I've lived in for the past 22 years. Nice to recognise a lot of the locations including the much-missed "Popular Cafe" in Mullumbimby which closed several years ago. Also nice to see the late Tony Barry who I've met several times in a small part.

Considering I was living in the area when this was filmed I can't believe I hadn't heard of it before.

Acting was great, story never lags, nicely filmed, and one thing I feel other reviewers have missed but really deserves a mention is the make-up and FX are extremely well done.

There's also a scene with a kangaroo (no spoilers) that is very nicely done too.
