Info

Anna Macy left Kettering when she was just 14, shortly after her best friend, Gillian Baxter mysteriously disappeared. The two girls had been playing in the forbidden forests outside Kettering when they saw strange lights in the sky. Eight hours later, Anna was found alone, terrified and covered in blood. 15 years on, Anna returns to find the town struggling to survive. The forests have been marked for logging and the community is being torn apart by passionate but violent clashes between environmentalists and the local loggers.

The Kettering Incident Audience Reviews

Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Msbnitski The show was good, characters were moody, strange and sometimes annoying but, the story line kept you guessing. You thought you had it figured out and then the last episode, well... I had a feeling that there was going to be a final so that's who did it and why and 2 minutes left, in the tunnel or wherever she was, I told myself this is going to be a bad ending and it was. I hate endings that make no sense and leave you feeling like why did I waste my time watching this show? No closure, no what the heck happened and why?
billcallinderscott-2607 For the first 4 or five episode it was the type of series that left me wanted to shout at the lead actress and ask "Why don't you tell someone". So infuriating it was almost painful to watch and yet I did. I though she just has to confide in somebody eventually which, of course, she did. However if I written this review without watching the whole series I would have given it just four stars.Even then after watching the whole series there were so many loose ends I thought it can't just end there. Having checked it seems that after this series won a fistful of awards then, somewhat reluctantly it seems, Foxtel may agree to a second series which it appears the writers had in mind. I can only say it would be madness not to do so. The loose ends are numerous and really have to be tied up even if we don't see what happens in the end. Somethings can be left to the viewers imagination. Having said that it introduced an alien object that hasn't even been discussed but seems to be doing something to ready humanity for a change. But the change isn't fully explained even though it's implied it's going to be as a result of environmental changes. We have an "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" theme developing in the finale with two branches. One branch includes Anna, the Greeny, eco-warrior Jens Jorgenssen and a few others with the second branch including a bunch of psychos that haven't transitioned to their new state properly and need the help of the likes of Anna and Jens. The "toxic waste" isn't explained properly as it appears to be causing huge environmental problems but was introduced by the eco-warrior Jens in collusion with Anna's father and a couple of others. Just what is it really and what's it's purpose? Finally there is a sudden explosion of strange moss which is largely ignored but looks like it causes dogs to go mad if they ate any and it looks like it cause some people to get bark like sores on their bodies.So unexplained mysteries abound and really need answering or a good storyline and series will be relegated to the likes of other, especially those with a SciFi theme, that showed great promise but were cancelled.
jbing-84882 I can't believe I just wasted 8 hours of my life getting to the end of this sick excuse for a story. Except for the lead character -- whose idea of acting was to walk around with a daze expression on her face-- the performances were passable. Much of the scenery in the rain forest was beautiful. But any merit this series would have had was destroyed by the writers utter ineptitude. They/he/she (the writers) switch scenes non-stop with scores of nonsensical mini- cliffhangers which are either left unresolved or answered with a trivial plot turn. Based upon the high ratings I can only assume that vested interests have stuffed the ballot box. This writing is soooo weak, so utterly lacking in the ingenuity that it takes to weave a story line and close the arc of a narrative, that it has left me wishing I had bailed out in episode 1 and wondering how a script such as this could ever get brought to the screen. Am I naive to think that writers should have higher standards and stronger work ethic? And that producers should have more common sense? Oh that my ranting would bring back my 8 hours. The horror, the horror....
Mark B There are no answers in the final episode!! If you're a person that likes to have at least some logical answers, this show is not for you. All the atmosphere and 8 hours of the show lead up to zip. Just more confusion and no answers. Don't waste your time on this and instead just watch re-runs of X-Files.For a show with so much atmosphere and scenic locations, it is frustrating that the show creators chose to end this like Season 4 or 5 of Lost -- you're just going to go WTF?
