This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Not a good movie, honestly. I've seen lots of stalker films, and some of them were pretty moronic, but this one takes the biscuit.Not in the least enjoyable. I'm struggling to find anything good to say about it, as I thought every aspect of it was below par.The acting was atrocious. The only plausible performance was by the blonde girl (the main character's girlfriend); everyone else was borderline incompetent IMHO. The brunette (the antagonist) seemed to be embarrassed by her own performance and uncomfortable with the part she was playing - and who can blame her, given the laughably pathetic and poorly-written character she's portraying? And why did they even need to come up with all that American-in-Australia crap? What purpose did it serve? It didn't add anything to the story and only confused the viewer, since the supposed American doesn't even sound like one. Extremely sloppy writing. As someone else here pointed out, it feels like a soap-opera, not a thriller. Very bland and one-dimensional; lacking edge and substance.Three words that come to mind: clumsy, amateurish, unrealistic.The so-called "twist" was cheesy and ridiculous; besides, I saw it coming miles away, and anyone, who's ever seen "The Sixth Sense", most certainly would. These people should have at least researched the paranormal prior to incorporating elements of it into the movie. It would have been more enjoyable had they done something more believable instead of the whole dream nonsense a la Freddy Kruger. By the way, the Freddy movies were actually believable and scary (back in the day at least), which is a lot more than I can say about this one. Anyway, I regret wasting my time with this stinker, and certainly won't be recommending it to anyone.

this Australian horror suspense film crush 2009 is about a male student Julian who is looking after a house of a rich family his relation with his girlfriend is going well enough but things go bad when a stranger girl Anna appears in the house he begins to like her and soon the sexual tensions between them leads to a disastrous end.first of all this movie is quite hilarious at many point the way this project takes itself so serious i don't' know if the script was written this way or the directors made some changes it is beyond me the acting here is atrocious the cast includes many unknown actors few hot ladies are there now our hero Christopher Egan needs to ease up a bit he was like all the production burden was on his head he gave a annoying performance but this film is worth checking out only for Emma Lung i mean what a beautiful looking girl i hope Hollywood notice her she reminds me so much of Monica Bellucci the makeup given to her in the ending is horrible but she pulled it off with her good acting skills.climax is pure fun when Julian finds out she is a dead girl and gets his butt kicked by Anna.during the credits they both are laying on the bed scene was out of nowhere it absolutely killed the whole film made it look like a parody.just forget everything the story is not sensible who cares if he was dreaming or not this film belongs to Emma Lung she kept me glued to the seat.overall Crush 2009 has its moments most important is the proper use of daytime environments for suspense. my rating is 3/10.

gets more and more preposterous as it goes along. I expected great things from Emma Lung when I saw her first a few years back in Peaches (with Hugo Weaving). She shows the same promise here, albeit with a poorly underwritten role; the fact that she fills out a bikini quite nicely doesn't hurt, either. In fact, both young leads (Chris Egan plays Julian, her reluctant paramour) do the best they can with the material, but the fault here lies with the story and script. Julian is an American kick-boxing up-and-comer, studying architecture at college in Australia. Strapped for cash, he accepts a short-term job as a solo house-sitter in a luxurious gated home, and then things start getting weird when the owner's niece Anna (Ms. Lung) starts sneaking in at all times of the day, in various states of undress, with an ever-present "come hither" look in her eyes. Alas, at this point all starts going downhill, with things becoming more and more far-fetched every time Julian awakens from another one of his "dreams". If you're a fan of either Mr. Egan or Ms. Lung, watch this one at your own peril. Otherwise, save yourself the time and effort, and throw The Exorcist into your player for the umpteenth time. You've been warned...

I've been following this film since early '08 (found on IMDb) and i couldn't wait to finally have my copy of Crush on DVD!! First of all it's nothing like Swimfan which was predictable, Crush had me glued to the screen from start to finish-Chris did a good job on his American accent but the real star was Emma Lung as the obsessed Anna who seriously has a future in this industry, can't wait to see more of her in more roles. Nexus six has done a great job at employing who's who of next generation of Australia's actors- Christian Clark, Brooke Harman, Jenna Lind and Kane Manera- well done and i can't wait to see more nexus six films!
