Featured reviews
Let me start off by saying that this movie is in no way a gore filled Slasher movie nor a big budget monster film. What it is however is a very decent low budget thriller. The special effects on the "monsters" (for lack of a better word) and the rest of the film, are above average for movies that don't have a lot of money. The script, though slightly boring and a little on the lame side as far as the characters go, was actually not bad overall. The actors were decent enough although not entirely believable in the situation. However, Jewel Staite definitely stands out as the best and most believable in her role. She is absolutely one of the most beautiful and sexy, underrated actors around. I don't really see why she wasn't recast in the newer version that they are making.
I only created an account here in Imdb just to say this...
This movie is awful, literally the worst movie i ever seen ( and i seen a lot), the movie doesn't have any sense, doesn't explain anything and all the deaths of the Characthers are off-screen
Im kinda depressed now, because i lost 90 minutes of my life i never get back
I apologize for my english, im not a native speaker.

The best way to describe the movie is: redundant. Not a single frame of it is original. Everything has been done before and better. The group of victims, their dynamic, the setting, the monsters, the killings. Everything is just a rehash of a cliché of a stereotype.
As far as horror films go, this is one of the lamest. The group of people is amongst the dullest, least developed bunch of morons without chemistry ever. The plot is something you and your friends come up with in 5 alcohol infested minutes when joking about bad horror plots. The setting is more like "Let's get paid to go to a Paradise Island!" The killings all follow the horror formula and are less gory than I've come to expect.
All in all, this was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It wasn't as bad as classic early Boll, but that just made it worse. "The Tribe" is bad in a totally unfunny and unentertaining way, it's just plain and simple a waste of lifetime.

It is hard to fill ten lines of comment for this movie. What has to be said? Well, the monsters are monstrous, the girl pretty (in some common way), the island mysterious. All of them do their job. Cinematography is not that bad, you just get the sense of people lost in a wild forest. Of course the writer had to fill some space with irrelevant anthropology about characters that are not even mean enough to deserve such misfortune or so nice to make you cry. As a matter of facts monsters look more interesting and complex. I would have liked that some destiny, or original sin had pushed the humans to that place. It would have meant some stars more.
For those who rated it ten, I will have what they are having. For those who rated it a 1, that is a bit harsh. From Filmrise, I didn't have many expectations. Liz and Peter have a strained relationship, but they take out rich tourists on the boat. The GPS keeps malfunctioning, but it appears from the port they left is in California, but they wind up in the Caribbean. They hit a reef (worst special effects ever) and are stranded on this jungle island. At least the scenery is very interesting. But the creatures come out during the day, so the movie is misnamed. The creatures are not very nice. Liz (Jewel Staite) is clearly the best actor of the group and Peter finally asks her to marry him. But they have to deal with the creatures, so how will that work out for them? The creatures are done decently. But the movie has so many obvious flaws, it really is not a very good movie.

- TriviaAfter completing filming, the production crew decided they had produced a movie that did not live up to the original expectations and it would not do well. They decided to remake the movie under the name "The Lost Tribe" with a new director, script and cast. However, the film is being released straight to DVD by "Voltage Pictures".
