The Block Island Sound

Well done to keep the atmosphere on the horror level and the acting was well done.. I would recommend watching it but not worthy of rewatch..

I thoroughly enjoyed this. For some reason I thought it'd be totally different and hesitated a bit to start watching, but glad I watched. It's not really horror, but more of a sci-fi mystery. Add Mulder and Scully and this would be a great x-files episode, with an atmospheric island setting.

Story is rather simple, a fisherman father starts acting weird and other weird things happen to fish and birds on an island. Fishermans adult son and his sisters try to figure out what happened. Story mostly revolves around the adult son who lived on the island with his dad.

Not much more to it really, sometimes less is more. The movie is directed and shot very nicely, acting is great too. Just very well crafted little movie, slow burner like many have mentioned. I was only a bit distracted by the name for some reason, it sounds (pun intended) like a different movie, aimed at younger crowd who will no doubt find this movie boring.

Was it GREAT! ? No. Was it pretty good? Yes it was. A very cool concept for a ultra low budget flick. While the ending DID spoon feed you the conclusion, it was still a good one. Much much better than your average SF fare. Oh, spoiler alert - no blood, no gore - not really a "horror" flick by slasher standards.

If you're only interested in horrors that are fast faced, gruesome, and action packed from the start, perhaps this isn't the film for you. If you like tension, implied horror, and have an imagination to fill in the gaps, this is very probably a time that you will enjoy.

The accompanying music is very much in keeping with the film, it adds to the atmosphere, and never intrudes. It's very nicely filmed, with some great shots of the sea, they make it look even more bleak and vast than we know it to be. The shots of the dead animals add a real sense of curiosity. The acting is excellent.

If you suffer anything associated with flashing lights, be aware that there are a few scenes in the middle part.

It's definitely a slow burner, but stick with it, it is definitely worth watching.

Very, very good, 7/10.

Tense, atmospheric, good acting. Exactly what a slow burner should be.

Again, not for everyone. That's the beautiful of the horror and all it's sub genres.
