Production
Lemon Tree Passage was inspired by an urban legend surrounding a road by the same name in Port Stephens, which was the focus of a segment aired on Today Tonight in 2010.[5] Director Campbell penned the script with Erica Brien and the bulk of the film's footage was shot in South Australia during September 2012.[6] Additional footage, which included the addition of another character, was shot in March 2014.[6] Financing for the film was raised privately.[6]
Reception
ScreenRelish gave a mixed review for Lemon Tree Passage, panning the film overall and stating that it was "a film that wants to send shivers down your spine (and certainly the promotional artwork does that in spades), but your brain is too preoccupied trying to figure out what’s going on, that it ultimately proves to be a somewhat dissatisfying experience."[7] SBS wrote that while Campbell "[pulled] his weight" as a director, the film's script was flawed and that it was overall uneven.[8]
