On 13-14 November 1990, madness came to Aramoana, a small New Zealand seaside village, in the form of a lone gunman with a high-powered automatic rifle. As he stalked his victims, the terrified and confused residents were trapped in the village for 24 hours while a handful of under-resourced and underarmed local policeman risked their lives trying to find him and save the survivors. By dawn 13 people lay dead. Review: Out of the blue - "Out of the blue" sums up neatly what happened when David Gray an embittered, angry and unsociable loner living in a small, very quiet coastal settlement in rural New Zealand convinces himself that the whole world, especially his neighbours, are all against him and as he cannot destroy the whole world he decides to destroy his neighbours by indiscriminately gunning down men, women and children. In the excellent features section of the DVD the makers of the film describe how they visited the settlement and talked to local people to get the background story and they have produced a very fine work that is sensitive, sober, tasteful, intelligent and bleak and there is no attempt to expolit the violence as would have probably happened if the film had been made by Hollywood where the violence would be graphically shown, probably in slow motion with music rising to a crescendo so that we could enjoy the gore at our leisure. In fact there is very little music in the film and the natural sounds in a peaceful, beautiful landscape add to the unsettling effect during the massacre. The film proceeds slowly as Gray relentlessly hunts down his neighbours and he always seems to be one step ahead of the police as they try to apprehend him whilst also tending to the wounded people they keep coming across as they trail him. I agree with reviewers that some of the dialogue is so quiet in this part of the film that it is difficult to hear what is being said by the policemen. Gray is eventually tracked down, smoked out of a house by tear gas and shot. He is bound with a leather strap and whilst he is writhing on the ground before he dies the policemen are standing nearby talking together and enjoying a quiet smoke after a job well done. Matthew Sunderland is very impressive as the smouldering menacing Gray and the whole cast is involved in making a film that is memorable, thought provoking and an object lesson in how to make a film of true horror without the need to make the screen awash with rivers of blood, graphic violence and hysteria. Review: Brilliantly Balanced Account of a Tragedy - In 1990 in a small town called Aramoana,New Zealand local eccentric David Gray(Matt Sunderland)picked up a rifle and killed 13 of his neighbours in a 22 hour rampage before being taken out by armed police. Sensitively handled by director Robert Sarkies,Out of the Blue should be the textbook on how to portray a real life tragedy on screen.Eschewing any type of obvious manipulative device(until the end)he uses sound very cleverly and stunning images of the local area to paint a picture of a fairly dormant and care worn town surrounded by an abundance of natural beauty which is destroyed in one day by one man's mania. Unbearably tense and shocking with pitch perfect performances aided by Annie Collins' superb edit, Out of the blue has an almost documentary feel to it which gives it such an authentic feel as to rule out any crass sentimentality or sensationalism that could have marred this film. A credit to all concerned and to you if you buy this film. Quite brilliant. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001M568CG | | Actors | Karl Urban, Lois Lawn, Matthew Sunderland | | Best Sellers Rank | 103,144 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 1,945 in Historical (DVD & Blu-ray) 7,745 in Crime (DVD & Blu-ray) 11,329 in Thriller (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Country of origin | United Kingdom | | Customer reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (82) | | Director | Robert Sarkies | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | English | | Manufacturer reference | 5055002531163 | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 1.7 x 11.9 x 16.1 cm; 0.28 g | | Rated | Suitable for 15 years and over | | Release date | 12 Jan. 2009 | | Run time | 1 hour and 43 minutes | | Studio | In2Film | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Colour - **Contributor:** Karl Urban, Lois Lawn, Matthew Sunderland, Robert Sarkies - **Format:** PAL - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 43 minutes ## Images ![Out of the Blue [2007] [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ToKkFnx3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Out of the blue *by D***D on 20 November 2010* "Out of the blue" sums up neatly what happened when David Gray an embittered, angry and unsociable loner living in a small, very quiet coastal settlement in rural New Zealand convinces himself that the whole world, especially his neighbours, are all against him and as he cannot destroy the whole world he decides to destroy his neighbours by indiscriminately gunning down men, women and children.
