Huhu Attack!

About This Movie

Huhu Attack! is a curious blend of styles, really. It’s like Baz Luhrmann throwing a wild party with Peter Jackson as the eccentric guest. The film conjures this oddball atmosphere of 1950s rural New Zealand, and the Cold War backdrop adds a nice tension. You’ve got these two misfits, Ngaire and her pal, navigating their bizarre world, which is both comedic and a bit dark. The music, performed by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, lifts it beyond the usual fare, making every number feel grand. The practical effects used throughout give it a tangible, almost nostalgic vibe. The pacing can feel erratic at times but that just adds to the charm, in my opinion. It’s a real oddity, and worth a look for those who dig the quirky side of cinema.
