Featured reviews
Like many of the reviews, i agree that the cinematography provided a nice dreary atmosphere. Beyond that, there was not much else to keep me interested. The pacing was so slow i fast forwarded a few times just to get through certain scenes! The acting was average at best. I don't recommend wasting time on watching this movie.
I caught a moment of this flick on cable and was intrigued. After checking out the positive reviews here I recorded it on my DVR to watch in its entirety later.
The movie does draw you in at the beginning, with the standard "sailors beached on a desolate isle." They soon realize that strange things are afoot here, and we are given to understand that supernatural events are transpiring.
However, the movie then loses its forward motion. You can only have so many ghostly appearances, frightening nighttime walks in the woods, and otherworldy voices singing before your attention starts to flag. The movie lacks the arc of suspenseful tension that you find in Hitchcock's movies. By the long-hoped-for end one is yawning.
Skip it and watch reruns of Gilligan's Island.

There's the makings of a good supernatural mystery in here somewhere but sadly it doesn't really come together.
The lonely Island shrouded in most: check
The unfriendly local man with something to hide: check
The benevolent ingénue: check
The ethnic minority character who wants to explore the island alone: check
The spectre hovering in the background: check
BUT it's sadly much less than the sum.of it's parts. There's no compelling story and no real scares.
This film was painfully stretched out to 96 mins that should have been a short film. I get that this was a low budget production, but even for a C-grade film, everything about it was amateurish. The directing and editing was terrible, the score was way too evident throughout, the acting decent in some parts, terrible in others - but I'm guessing that was the director failing to direct his cast. The concept story itself was interesting, but the screenplay dragged this films pace to a snails speed and felt like 2+ hours. It's clearly obvious all reviews above a 7 are all fake/paid - as they are the only review, or 2 or 3 others on the same day. It's an honest and generous 3/10 from me.
So I saw this last night and after seeing the high rating I thought that this film was going to be great, it wasn't.
The acting was okay. The story was okay, not used to it's full potential. No horror or jump scares what so ever.
Now should you see this film, well if you want to see a wasted chance of a great story done bad then this is it.
Don't believe the hype this film is not good. As people have stated before about false ratings is done by people associated with the film.
I wasted a whole evening watching this.
