unlabelledView post →The Sam Neill tributes will rightly focus on his achievements in Jurassic Park, The Piano, Hunt For the Wilderpeople etc. But he also gave what I think are three of the greatest horror movie performances of all time: Possession (1981), In The Mouth Of Madness (1994) and Event Horizon (1997) .
unlabelledView post →It also mentions “Hunt for the Wilderpeople,” a delightful Taika Waititi film that’s better than just about every Hollywood blockbuster he’s since made.
unlabelledView post →Kiwi icon. RIP. My favourite film of his? "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" - well worth a watch if you've never seen it.
unlabelledView post →HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE is a gem of a film, anchored by Sam Neill. Add it to your watch (or rewatch) list.
unlabelledView post →He was really great in “HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE.” I mean, he was great in everything, but I especially loved him in this movie.

It's the perfect movie to remember Sam Neill by. 5 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/08/12/h...
unlabelledView post →Beloved actor Sam Neill (1947-2026) has died. Adored him in so many films, esp. "Jurassic Park", "The Dish", "Hunt for the Wilderpeople". In "Event Horizon" set in 2047, he asked for this 👇 Australian flag design, saying he thought by then Australia would celebrate its Indigenous history.

unlabelledView post →What a CV. Damien Thorn, Event Horizon, The Dish, Jurassic Park, Hunt for the Wilderpeople. THE PIANO. One of those actors whose mere presence made it a better film.
unlabelledView post →All the films in the following list are PG-13, PG, or older and unrated, and I went light on sexual themes in the PG-13 part (except for Austin Powers, because... it's Austin Powers). This is just me quickly going through my own movie collection. PG-13: - Arachnophobia (1990) - Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) - Big Trouble in Little China (1986) - Cabin Boy (1994) - Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) - Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) - Gremlins (1984) -…

unlabelledView post →Sam Neill during the “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” 10th anniversary screening, March 2026. He was very sweetly affected by the gathering and rewatching of the film. My heart goes out to his loved ones. Rest in peace, Sam. (Thank you, @redfabricheart.bsky.social!)
unlabelledView post →Ahh Sam Neill 😔 Cannot stress the impact that man’s career had on my love for film. I can still remember seeing him in Jurassic Park on the big screen. Then later Event Horizon, Mouth of Madness, Hunt for the Wilderpeople and so many others. He brought something to everything and seemed so kind 💔

unlabelledView post →Sad to hear about Sam Neill’s passing. A brilliant actor. Just some of my favourite performances by him - Damien all grown up in The Omen 3, Dr Alan Grant in Jurassic Park, the utterly charming The Dish and Hunt For The Wilderpeople. Oh - and My Brilliant Career as well - loved that film RIP Sam ❤️

unlabelledView post →I think I have to go with Hunt For the Wilderpeople. One of Taika Waititi's masterpiece, it's such a heartwarming film that's carried by the chemistry between Julian Dennison and Sam Neill. It's probably the best performance Sam Neill ever delivered in a film. Cannot recommend this movie enough. 💙

unlabelledView post →Very sad about Sam Neill. Great actor and seemed like an all around good sort. He really put his all into whatever film he was attached to. Possession, Mouth of Madness, Dead Calm, Event Horizon, Jurassic Park, Hunt for the Wilderpeople
unlabelledView post →If we leave out JURASSIC PARK, which might be the single most rewatched movie ever for me. It's HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE which also easily Taika Waititi's best movie
unlabelledView post →Hunt for the Wilderpeople—an absolutely devastating movie to watch in the immediate wake of my mom's death a decade ago, but also so funny and so healing and something she would have adored. ♥️
unlabelledView post →RIP Sam Neil. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is my fave. Delightful, funny, tender film.

unlabelledView post →The first Sam Neill film I remember wasn’t particularly great but it made an impression: Omen 3. He was a hell of a devil. The last was Hunt for the Wilderpeople, a much better showcase for his gruff charm and ability to work well with child actors. He will be missed.
