La tribu

The plot summary on the back sounded somewhat interesting, so I rented this one tonight. I just finished watching it.

Overall, there's just not much to say about it. Everything is slightly worse than mediocre. The movie falls into that ugly gap between being so bad it's entertaining and being an honestly good movie. The four "characters" are basically non-existent and there's close to no background about the "monsters". Speaking of those, they aren't even especially gruesome in any way, neither regarding their looks nor their practices. The film tries to get some tension going, but it just didn't work for me at all. The plot is as foreseeable as it could be right from the start, not a single surprise to be found and the ending is very, very... unsatisfying.

Let me start off by saying that this movie is in no way a gore filled Slasher movie nor a big budget monster film. What it is however is a very decent low budget thriller. The special effects on the "monsters" (for lack of a better word) and the rest of the film, are above average for movies that don't have a lot of money. The script, though slightly boring and a little on the lame side as far as the characters go, was actually not bad overall. The actors were decent enough although not entirely believable in the situation. However, Jewel Staite definitely stands out as the best and most believable in her role. She is absolutely one of the most beautiful and sexy, underrated actors around. I don't really see why she wasn't recast in the newer version that they are making.

The best way to describe the movie is: redundant. Not a single frame of it is original. Everything has been done before and better. The group of victims, their dynamic, the setting, the monsters, the killings. Everything is just a rehash of a cliché of a stereotype.

As far as horror films go, this is one of the lamest. The group of people is amongst the dullest, least developed bunch of morons without chemistry ever. The plot is something you and your friends come up with in 5 alcohol infested minutes when joking about bad horror plots. The setting is more like "Let's get paid to go to a Paradise Island!" The killings all follow the horror formula and are less gory than I've come to expect.

All in all, this was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It wasn't as bad as classic early Boll, but that just made it worse. "The Tribe" is bad in a totally unfunny and unentertaining way, it's just plain and simple a waste of lifetime.

For those who rated it ten, I will have what they are having. For those who rated it a 1, that is a bit harsh. From Filmrise, I didn't have many expectations. Liz and Peter have a strained relationship, but they take out rich tourists on the boat. The GPS keeps malfunctioning, but it appears from the port they left is in California, but they wind up in the Caribbean. They hit a reef (worst special effects ever) and are stranded on this jungle island. At least the scenery is very interesting. But the creatures come out during the day, so the movie is misnamed. The creatures are not very nice. Liz (Jewel Staite) is clearly the best actor of the group and Peter finally asks her to marry him. But they have to deal with the creatures, so how will that work out for them? The creatures are done decently. But the movie has so many obvious flaws, it really is not a very good movie.

I only created an account here in Imdb just to say this...

This movie is awful, literally the worst movie i ever seen ( and i seen a lot), the movie doesn't have any sense, doesn't explain anything and all the deaths of the Characthers are off-screen

Im kinda depressed now, because i lost 90 minutes of my life i never get back

I apologize for my english, im not a native speaker.
