Heavenly Creatures

Deathgasm is the only New Zealand film I've seen that sticks in the memory, though might be better suited to a Halloween watch, but it's really funny so it's up to you

The Frighteners (1996)

King Kong (2005)

Heavenly Creatures (1994) directed by Peter Jackson, it's Kate Winslet's debut role; the movie is based on a true story from New Zealand.

And another suggestion, though I'm not sure this fits the criteria: King Kong (2005), since it was shot in New Zealand by Peter Jackson and the crew was mostly from NZ. I saw the title in the list of movies you've watched, so I'm only throwing this as a suggestion in case you liked it and are interested in doing a rewatch for the channel.

Mary definitely likes some of the director's other films...

Here’s some good ones but I think The Frighteners is the top choice. Banned in Australia on release because of an unfortunate resemblance to a then recent national tragedy but it’s such a charming little movie. Braindead (1992) Whale Rider (2002) Black Sheep (2006) Out of the Blue (2006) Eagle vs Shark (2007)

"District 9" is a great Sci-Fi movie co-produced between New Zealand, the United States, and South Africa. Produced by Peter Jackson and Carolynne Cunningham. Filed in several locations including New Zealand and South Africa!

Moon- 2009 Really great indie sci-fi flick and Sam Rockwell is incredible.

My personal favorite is The Frighteners (1996). The Frighteners is set in the United States however it was entirely filmed in New Zealand and directed by the one and only Peter Jackson. It stars Michael J. Fox and I'd love to see some reactions to his movies besides the Back to the Future films. Another great NZ movie is Hunt for the Wilder people (2016).

Hunt for the Wilderpeople. 2016

John Cranberry

Once Were Warriors is a film you need to see Mary.

Victor Fiegel

Housebound (2014) What We Do In the Shadows (2014) New Zealand was killing it with horror~comedies in 2014!

“The Piano”, “Heavenly Creatures”, “The Frighteners” and “Meet The Feebles”

I also recommend the Frighteners, but I also recommend watching the Director’s Cut if you can if you can.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople directed by Taika Waititi starring Julian Dennison and Sam Neill 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿

What we do for the shadows and hunt for the wilderpeople were both shot all in nee zealand and both take place there. Two great films from Taika when he was up and coming

Rileymetal

Ash vs Evil Dead was filmed in NZ

The Dead Lands (2014) is pretty interesting. Take a look at the trailer to see if if it's your cup of tea. It got enough attention to be developed into a television series. But I'd personally love to see a reaction to Hunt for the Wilderpeople. It's such a sweet film.

Jimmy Smith

Oh that’s a great one ☝️ the dead lands

Jimmy Smith

THE DEAD LANDS‼️‼️ (It’s about the Maori warriors) during the tribal battles of Whēnua (land)

DMs

What We Do in the Shadows, The Hunt For the Wilderpeople,. Can't go wrong with Taika Waititi! Also does Guns Akimbo count as NZ? The director is New Zealander and it was partially filmed in Auckland...

Robin Roberts

What about Black Sheep (2006) not the Chris Farley film or Whale Rider (2002)

Szientific

Whale rider ♥️♥️♥️

Happy Hanukkah

I am belatedly reminded of the 2009 Oscars hosted by Hugh Jackman, soon after he had starred in Australia (2008). The through-joke of Jackman's opening is the cutbacks caused by the 2008 financial crisis, including the following quip: "Everything is being down-sized because of the recession; next year, I'll be starring in a movie called New Zealand." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Terhj8mjPwY

Oh awesome! YOU HAVE TO watch The Dead Lands (2014) Mary!! I would so love that!! ❤️❤️
