About This Movie

Hurry Hurry Faster Faster is a curious blend of comedy and horror that radiates that raw DIY spirit of early Kiwi cinema. Directed by Geoff Murphy, it's like a chaotic sprint through the minds of its creators, who were fueled more by enthusiasm than resources. The film plays out in a freeform style, weaving together madcap antics and absurd scenarios that keep you guessing. The practical effects, while rudimentary, add a tangible charm to the madness. It’s this kind of off-the-cuff creativity that defined an era in New Zealand film. You can see the seeds of what would become the Blerta bus and Pork Pie's cheeky road trips. The performances have that delightful amateur quality—it's all about the fun, really, and that’s what makes it distinctive.
