Red Island

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.

Glad to see Alex Essoe getting her due in Mike Flanagan productions and after Starry Eyes in spite of this effort. This film is embarrassing to her talent and hopefully it was one of her first (or a favour to a friend). She's the only thing about this that makes this even worth watching at all. Her talents are wasted here in a dark film (darkly shot but not dark in mystery or story, just bad cinematography). It looks horrible and acted poorly. Back Country this is not. Skip it unless you are an Alex Essoe completist. Zero talent outside of her. The guy playing her husband was a real zero. 3/10.

The term Sci Fi is over used yet again. There is no SciFi in this movie, it is more Drama and Horror. So if you are a SciFi fan don't get sucked in. Critics need to be re-educated on what SciFi really is.

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.

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.
