The movie looks like a draft of a movie. It's lacking all the parts where you'd normally go " Ahh ok !" So much is left unsaid that you have to make your own story with the 2 or 3 details they do tell us. The girl has a certain charm and is not a bad actress. That can't be said for all the other actors in this "movie"

The synopsis says that "the locals are less than welcoming and trying to hide a secret." The locals actually succeed in hiding the secret since the movie just stops before we find out what the secret is. I actually liked it pretty well up to the point where it started to become clear that the writers weren't sure what it was all about. It's not stunningly original or anything, but the setup works pretty well; it just sets up and.... the end. It's kind of a shame since a lot of things really seemed to be clicking, like Elaine Alexander's performance. Some plot elements defy common sense, which I suppose comes back to a weak script. Could have been a surprisingly good movie if they'd left that to bake all the way.

Samantha's grandparents are found murdered in their little house on a tiny island. Samantha inherits, and she goes to live there. The tiny seaside town has many small islands, where people have their homes.

In order to get to the house, they must use a boat.

We learn nothing of the grandparents, or any other of Samanthas family or history. She just turns up at the house, and starts living there. No one is interested in why the old folks died, and they are never mentioned.

The town people are hostile towards the newcomer, and wants her to leave. (Yawn) We are not told why that is. She doesn't bother anyone, where she is.

She discovers that someone has been in her house, and she is so laid back about the whole situation that its ridiculous.

Normal reaction for any sane human being, would have been fear or terror. You are alone on an island, where two people have been killed. And someone is clearly stalking you in your home. That should create some emotions!

The ending, and lack of explanation to anything, ruins what could have been a nice thriller. We are not given any motive for why the person does what s/he does. And even more annoying, there are literally only two suspects. Yup, there are three other actors in this movie, but one of them is taken care of, leaving only two suspects.

The ending sucks big time, with even more irrational behaviour from Samantha.

And why did they have to name the sheriff Sam?

No horror, no supernatural, no sex, no nudity, no profanity.

Well, if you're really into a girl walking around her island for an hour and eleven minutes, then this is the film for you. By definition a thriller should have some suspenseful moments. The biggest element of suspense was waiting to see what the mute lady was writing!

Was reading the reviews after watching the movie.

I have so many questions..... thank god it was short. True "face plant".

To many questions left unanswered leads to an incoherent script that made no sense. It felt like they ran out money and just had to end it. The only bright spot is the lead actress who pretty good. But she can't salvage a poorly written script. Don't waste your time. Find something else to watch - anything else.

Low budget film as an element of flatness to it and amateur production. But, something about this film drew me to it. Typically, I want to have a clear cut ending. This film lacks a clear understanding of what is happening, but somehow I appreciated the fight of the main character. Many won't like it, but I appreciated the mystery and the strong survival instinct presented. Again, low budget and amateur qualities abound, but for some reason that didn't bother me.

Do people actually get paid for making these movies? There is nothing decent about this film from pathetic nonsense story (if you can call it a story), acting, dialogue and even the camera work.

It is also full of stupidity and a lot of pointless scenes that make no sense. The best is I know she is a blonde, she has a boat but decides to jump in the water and swim to another boat..really! That is just one of many.

Some people need a career change.

I don't normally write reviews but if I can save at least one person from watching this mind numbingly ridiculous garbage, then writing this will be worth it.

So many plot holes, they don't explain anything about anything...

I'd rather eat the stale mouldy popcorn that's stuffed between my couch cushions and watch sharknado than watch this ever again.

There was potential for this movie, but the story was just way too shallow. Sean and Taylor King just never developed it enough. The end result is once done, you can't help feeling "what's the point?". Another waste by amateurs.

Someone PLEASE explain to me this movie! I know she wa ts to live on her grandparents island but no one wants her there. But why wre her grandparents killed? And what's the deal with her dad?

You actually don't find out what the secret is there was no horror In the movie apart from the actress's dancing .

No dialogue, no vision, no artistic originality, really no point, it is like they wanted to make a movie but had no script and just shot it as they went along, but even then i would imagine it would of came out better. I rarely think a movie is a waste of time but i felt like i could used this time to clean my house, or even self reflect in a dark quite room, can you imagine watching this movie twice!? Now that would be a true horror. I bet first year film students would pull off something more interesting and believable then this.

This movie was decent and then the it ended. No explanation, no resolving the conflict just credits.

But again, at the same time, nothing great for sure. I would say a solid 6-7 rating being realistic. Filming and locations are great, Lead actress is very engaging and has a real girl look and fairly great acting abilities. Rest of small cast is decent enough. Everyone complains that it does not explain the mystery. It actually DOES, but does so in a indirect not well executed way. Its a slow moving relaxing thriller, a GREAT rainy day movie as it is quite short in length. Great? Not at all, Horrible? Not even close, I have seen FAR worse! Just enough of the plot reveals what happened, but it never openly tells what happened. You have to figure in your own head.

How this dumpster fire of a movie got 3 stars on amazon I cannot fathom. All the reviews are right, no plot, bad acting, bad direction, bad editing. Just bad all around. The only redeeming quality is the setting (1000 Islands in upstate NY) and the idea of a girl defending what's hers all alone. I hope a better production redoes this trope because I'd love to see it done right.
