Two Heads Creek (2019) --My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When twins Norman and Annabelle go to a remote town in Australia to search for their birth mother, they soon come to realize that the people in the town have a dark secret. 

You grow up. You follow your parents' career path. You dedicate all your time to it. You think, hey, I’m just following in my parent’s footsteps. Nothing wrong with it. It’s in my blood to do exactly what they did.

But it turns out you’re not good at your job. Worse, you find out your parents are not really your parents.

Now that’s confusing.

You’ve learned the trade somewhat. You have an established store. But somehow the business isn’t running as it is supposed to be. Should you stay on and improve, or find out if you were meant to do something else? Perhaps your biological parents do something that you can take on.

Two Heads Creek is deliciously funny and just as nauseatingly gory. Things seem off as the movie begins and by the end of it, you will be chuckling, yet disgusted.

TWO HEADS CREEK Movie Plot 

The movie begins with a man named Norman living in Britain and running a butchery that his late mother left him. He gets bullied a lot and literally has faeces thrown on his window, but he responds meekly and doesn’t seem to care that his store is vandalized every day.

At his mothers funeral, his twin Annabelle arrives and she’s all about how stylish and perfect she is because she’s a small actress and a model. She does drone about how she didn’t get equal opportunities as Norman and has to be reminded she’s isn’t nearly as perfect as she seems to be. In fact, it was her abrasive nature because of which she was thrown out of good schools.

Annabelle believes she has made it on her own and is quite proud of the recent ad she has done in stool softeners.

While going about the house to clear it after their mother has passed away, Norman finds a postcard from a woman called Mary from Two Heads Creek Australia.

She has mentioned her thanks for adopting her children.

Norman realizes his mother wasn’t his real mother and that this woman Mary is. But he doesn’t want to leave the safe confines of his little world.

The next day, when Annabelle drives away the bullies and helps clean Norman his store windows, she mentions they need to find their real mother and sell the store.

Norman reluctantly agrees and is stopped at the airport by customs. When the officer hears they are headed to Two Head Creek, he lets them go immediately.

The only way to Two Heads Creek is via a bus that is also carrying plenty of Asian tourists.

Annabelle is just happy that her advertisements are placed all over Australia and that she’s getting well known.

Their tour guide is a woman with frizzy colorful blonde hair called Apple. When they arrive at their destination, she shows them around the town and the twins notice how every store seems to have the name Mary on it, meaning she probably owns all of it.

They are forbidden from going into Mary’s house and are told she passed away.

When Norman tells them he may have received a call from her, the townsfolk amend that she passed away recently.

The tourists are given food and are welcomed with a get-together. Norman wonders when the funeral is and the townsfolk have secret conversations about it and we learn they’ve never had a funeral before.

Annabelle has nothing to eat as the townspeople are only serving meat. She is teased for being a vegan. Norman slurps his stew in front of her, and she steals his food, relishing the meat pieces but not recognizing what meat it is.

If a butcher can’t recognize the meat, then the food is dubiously unsafe to eat. We aren’t going to find out what meat it is until the end.

A funeral is held the next day and the residents of the town struggle through the ceremony. At one point, the coffin falls down and opens slightly to reveal a woman with dark hair. Norman knows his mother had blonde hair according to the picture.

The twins are informed that their bus is leaving but only Annabelle wants to get on it. She’s enjoying the fact that she’s famous over here as the children seem to know her well enough to take her autograph, but she’s also sick of this town.

Dubious meat and constipation... more clues as to where this movie is headed.

Norman wants to follow his instincts and decides to dig up the grave.

Of course, the woman isn’t Mary whose picture he received last night from a local girl called Daisy.

Annabelle doesn’t want to be caught up in the drama and tells her brother she’s doesn’t think any amount of money is worth what is going on in this town.

Norman wants to stay back and figure out what the townspeople are hiding. Annabelle takes the bus back home and complains about her unfair life and how her foster mother preferred Norman over her. The bus driver narrates his own difficult life which shuts her up. He also reminds people should do anything for family.

Annabelle reconsiders her decision to go back home.

TWO HEADS CREEK Ending Explained with Spoilers! 

Norman meanwhile, has finally discovered the secrets of the town. Two Heads Creek is where the Australian government takes care of its excessive immigration problems. Tourists are lured to the town, then put through a meat grinder. Their remains are then eaten at a barbecue.

The whole town is excited to celebrate Australia Day and the delivery of the new machine that will turn people into shreds in seconds.

Norman realizes to his horror that he has eaten a person the other day. He is found out and tied up while the townspeople celebrate Australia Day and the riddance of the immigrants.

Just as he’s about to be killed, Annabelle arrives just in time. The twins are then saved by Mary, who is alive and well. Norman isn’t happy to learn that his crush Daisy is actually his sister. Their father is killed and they are all captured once again after defeating a few people.

However, Norman pulls the plug on the machine just before Annabelle is sent through the grinder.

Apple is tricked into standing at the platform and the machine is plugged in, sending her through the grinder.

The trio leaves the town and the bus driver curses them for having to clean up all the mess himself.

The last scene shows Daisy, Annabelle, Norman and Mary rubbing a vegan food truck. A customer comes to them asking if they have anything good to eat. The found smile and tell him sure. They are clearly hinting at human flesh.

The movie is outrageously funny and the gore is just enough to keep your food in your stomach.

Scare scale: 3.5/5
