Northspur takes a straightforward every man quest, set in a post apocalyptic world, and imbues it with a real heart. It's a finely crafted film, beautifully shot, on a budget, that stays with you long after the final credits have rolled. Kellan (Josh McKenzie) must locate medicine to save the life of his love Melinda (Delany Talbon). To this end he falls in with Summers (Marshal Napier), who agrees to supply the rare medicine in return for a favor. The pacifist Kellan must help to fight off waves of attackers, all intent on taking Summers down for their own reasons. An all out war ensues and the cabin the two men are holed up in becomes ground zero for a battle of epic proportions. Northspur is engaging from the opening. It has shades of the original Mad Max all through it, only with more of a character based story. The relationship between the two men is key to the whole film, and Napier and McKenzie imbue both characters with just the right levels of humanity and desperation. Delany Tabron is also a joy to watch. Melinda has just as much to deal with, harassed by a sinister home intruder and taking care of her neighbour's newly orphaned child, she portrays the terror of isolation with a relatable vulnerability. The action sequences are punchy and brutal, but Northspur shows its real edge in the way it tackles some of the darker themes in the film. Most notably the effects of domestic violence and the legacy it leaves on survivors. It handles these scenes with a refreshing honesty, one that makes the story memorable. A strong ensemble cast backs up the leads, with Michael Hurst, Gayle Haye and Nell Fisher the standouts. The cast is large, and would be easy to lose track of if they weren't so distinctive. The scenery is stunning. It was shot on location in New Zealand and seeing the usual fantasy backdrops transferred into the grim world of a collapsed society is unique and gives the film a real identity. Northspur entertains on so many levels. It takes you on an action packed ride that is both engaging and memorable.

You'll love Northspur - set in a stunning location in rural New Zealand, this fast-paced action/thriller with its gripping narrative and sublime cinematography will grab your attention from the get-go! The film was extremely well cast, with convincing character portrayals, including a highly memorable performance by Marshall Napier. Northspur explores how humans might interact in extreme circumstances, if they are forced into 'survival mode' in an apocalyptic setting. So, you will get to see some brilliantly executed (violent) action scenes throughout, which are beautifully interspersed with moving, heartfelt segments, and the film's threads of faith and hope add even more layers of substance and interest. Congratulations to director Aaron Falvey, writer Justin Eade, and the amazing cast and crew of Northspur - it's a remarkable achievement and is definitely worth watching!

This movie did not disappoint! From the start of the story line, it kept you engaged with what was going to happen next - How far will you go to survive at all costs to get what you need to protect the ones you love? To endure endless struggles along the journey - Feeling All the emotions - Fear, Anger, Survival and most of all Love. A calibration of Talented cast - with special mention to Marshall Napier who sadly passed away this year and was perfect in his role as Summer. Hard Kiwi bloke ( soft on the inside ) who will go to all extremes to protect his Cabin. The scenery of our gorgeous top of the South captured so well with the Drone footage is stunning. Well done to everyone involved - Fantastic to see Northspur on the big screen👏👏

Wowsers, I just saw the movie 'NorthSpur' and absolutley loved every minute of it! Such a well written cleverly intertwined story line that was extremely captivating, full of suspense with lots of twists & turns involving some great authentic and enjoyable 'Kiwi' humour. I especially was taken back & curios how at the end all the thought out layers of the story became apparent. I found this left you wondering what was next however it finished while being left open ... maybe a sequel??? Thank you so much for taking me on the beginning of an incredible journey with hopefully a lot more to come in the future.

Northspur is hands down a quality tribute to the spirit of independent film making; the story is unique and fresh, full of action and tension. And its plentiful charm is that it's surprisingly thoughtful, and left me thinking back over various moments for days afterwards; what else can one want from a movie that it leaves wonderful memories? The performances from the lead actors are rich and spot on, as their deeply practical view of a world gone mad intersects and sometimes collides with a younger generations optimism for a more harmonious future. Ive been making and enjoying films for 4 decades, and I've never been privileged to see a more unforgettably poignant moment in cinema than when Marshal Napier's character concludes his role with a beautiful smile and leaves the screen, in this case forever, as very sadly he passed away just before Northspur/Battle Cabin was released; a fine conclusion to a lifetimes work. Call it Northspur down under, or Battle Cabin elsewhere, this is a sweetheart of a story, masquerading as an action piece, and not to be overlooked. A modest budget accomplishment from real film makers, Northspur / Battle Cabin punches way above its weight.

Absolutely brilliant piece of film! Fantastic performance from the late Marshall Napier and also Delaney Tabron. The cast was full of talent, which makes the end product simply amazing to watch! This action-packed feature will have you on the edge of your seat wondering what's gonna happen next! Superb writing from one of NZ's finest writers Just Eade. Anyone who watches Northspur will definitely be looking forward to what comes next from these guys!! Most excellent film shot entirely in the top of the South Island of NZ! The cinematography is great and the shots these guys captured to come together with a 10 out of 10 masterpiece. A very enjoyable experience!!

Okay, the reason for the 8 is I have never given a 10 for anything! This film is a great engaging story, with some awesome action scenes, great visuals and camera work. Casting was great, particularly Josh McKenzie as Kellan, who I feel carried the film. Was obviously great to see Marshall Napier, he really embodied the role of Summers. Nell Fisher as Tia was amazing. Such a young actor, and so talented. The setting was perfect for the post apocalyptic vibe, and the homes and cabins so well created and dressed. A very believable visual. I went into this film with the brief of being a harsh critic... Were there things I could be picky about? Yes. But only a couple of tiny things that in no way detracted from the film. I struggle with going to the cinema because as soon as I sit still I involuntarily fall asleep...but with this... I didn't struggle at any point! The genre of post apocalyptic survival has been done many times, but this felt fresh and exciting. Very enjoyable film, very believable characters, and great visuals. Well done!

This is not a film that I would normally be interested in seeing, but I found it really enjoyable. It is high action, high tension, engaging, well paced, no flagging - very impressed with cinematography, sound and acting. The invention in story twist and turns and special effects really admirable, and the top of the South Island setting made it even more enjoyable. Sound and soundtrack captured the tone - I don't think I have heard NZ bush bird song sound so brilliantly since that scene with a traffic cop bonking in the car off roadside on the West Coast in Goodbye Pork Pie and that's a long way back - brilliant.
