Storyline

Newcomers to the remote Australian desert town of Nathgari, Catherine and Matthew Parker's lives are flung into crisis when they discover their two teenage kids, Tommy and Lily, have mysteriously disappeared just before a massive dust storm hits. With Nathgari eerily smothered in red dust and darkness, the townsfolk join the search led by local cop, David Rae. It soon becomes apparent that something terrible may have happened to Tommy and Lily. Suspicions run riot, rumours spread and public opinion turns savagely against the Parkers. With temperatures rising and the chances of survival plummeting with each passing day, Catherine and Matthew find themselves pushed to the brink as they struggle to survive the mystery of their children's fate.

Still waiting
2 August 2015 | by (England) – See all my reviews

Well i watched this all excited thinking oh yes Nicole Kidman's in it, she's normally in good films. I like her. Good actress in good films etc

Anyway the story starts off promising, a mystery a mother and father in despair, a few family secrets are revealed, we get to know the characters a little bit and then nothing literally nothing. I kept waiting for it to pick back up and get to the good bit but alas it doesn't go anywhere. I think i started playing on my phone half way through it as well.

Anyway to conclude nothing happens, no conclusion to events. No nothing. My 8 year old could have written a more gripping storyline.

It will kill a few hours if you are bored anyway. :)
