Round a friend's house and we put on this uninspiringly packaged DVD that he'd got from God know's where. I was expecting little more than a lagoon and a voodoo doll from a film with a title like this - something to doze off to really -, but was pleasantly surprised to find myself enjoying a fast paced, horror flick, an interesting voodoo motif, and a chilling denouement. It's amazing what can be done with a beach, a few bikinis and a few inexperienced actors. This is a remarkably cogent and intelligent film that knocks seven shades of something out of The Beach and Scream. Why hadn't I heard of it before? And why aren't there more horror films made with Voodoo as the main subject?

This movie tries too hard to be something it's not that it fails to deliver. The characters are rushed that we don't get ample time to learn them let alone root or feel for them. A bunch of college kids who could all pass for models and simply couldn't fight their way out of a rumble with a blow-up doll. None of the characters are likable and they all come off as boring. Even the guy with the tattooed arm is wimpy (Ashley Hamilton "Tom") his character I waited for him to smoke a cigarette but guess I was wrong. Lincoln Lewis (Aaron) who I saw in the movie "Bait 3D" I think was wasted here.

The gore just wasn't gory enough to get a reaction, the suspense was simply not there, the fright was weak and failed to scare and the horror of the movie was most likely left on the cutting room floor. The acting we can't really blame as shallow as they are only as good as the director and in this movie it was the director who I felt failed. He Nick Cohen just doesn't cut it and never used his actors to his advantage. He used gore to scare and that alone is what hurts the movie. I've seen movie's with a similar base that works but here it's nothing more than a snooze fest.

Save your time and money on this one as it's nothing more than a time waster that never tries to grab your attention.

Class horror flick.

Great horror film that takes the mick out of the genre.

Makes a change from flicks that take themselves too seriously. Really enjoyed this as the voodoo tip was different to the usual slasher plot. Quality ending that made up up for slightly confusing plot. Ironic take on an all too often hackneyed genre made this film interesting and deff worth watching.

Some interesting dialogue and scenes, especially the beach scenes.

Direction was good and would watch again.

Enjoy!

Here's a tip: If, en route to your vacation on a far off isle, you're asked to fill in a questionaire that includes the query 'What's Your Worst Fear?', do not wait. Grab the nearest parachute, freefall to the ocean and wait to be picked up by a passing steamer.

Obviously, these dumb-as-a-post teens don't click until it's too late, and their various deaths include spiders, rats, buried alive and castration. It all sounds very nasty, but in this farcical enterprise, it's all rather amusing. The cast includes a guy who looks like a young Jim Carrey, and indeed tries to act like him, but sadly he's not fit to lick the dirt off Jimmy's hi-tops. As for the rest, considering their main standouts are the size of their breasts or pecs, I think we can leave them to one side.

Rarely has a film ever felt as cheap as this one, with shoddy camera-work, bad editing and even terrible sound quality abound. Worse still is the plo... Oh I forgot, there isn't one. Just plenty of running about, with LOTS of portentous dialogue from an old guy with an incredibly annoying voice. Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does... And the climax is a classic example of the scriptwriter just giving up and smearing fecal matter to the page. What a complete load of...

I don't begrudge people going on a free holiday. I just wish they wouldn't pretend on making a film while they're at it. 1/10
