Red Island

I watched this movie and now I'm mad. I'm mad now, because I watched it.

2/10 Terrible Movie! Alex Essoe deserves better! It was slow and very confusing. The only good thing about the movie was Alex Essoe Acting and that naked scene. That scene was sexy and creepy.

It's summer and I have an oscillating fan. Believe me when I say, watching the fan doing its thing was more interesting than watching this movie.

I hate to be one who gives such a bad review, because I'm an indie creator myself (different medium), but as creators we need to put some effort into our creations!

For those of you who wish to watch it regardless, be advised that it uses a lot of handheld cameras, acting is not that great, there will be times when you will struggle to make things out, and the story is not that great.

This is a low-budget film with a mediocre cast except for the main actress, Alex Essoe. The dialogue is not well-written and the direction isn't very good.

It's categorized as sci-fi, but it doesn't fit well into that genre and because of this, I'm sure sci-fi fans who watch it will be especially disappointed.

However, it has one positive attribute: it is genuinely frightening. For sheer horror, this one isn't bad at all.

That's about it. 20 minutes of material stretched out over 90 minutes. Lots of stuttery drone and gimbal shots with no narrative purpose and on top of that all shots are way underexposed and desaturated. It almost looks as if they skipped the color grading phase. The characters are boring and nothing happens.

Oh, I almost forgot: the movie, just like "Mary (2019)", is set within a framing narrative of a police interrogation that basically spoils the movie right at the beginning, deflating any hint of suspension.

Do not watch!
