Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Disturbing yet enthralling

A Disappointing Continuation

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Wow, what a terrible film. Tara Reid yet again proves that she was not cut out to be an actress. Some of the worst acting I've ever seen, the male lead (I honestly can't be bothered to find his name) was equally flat at delivering lines. Whoever wrote the story/script should consider never writing ever again. The story was dumb, here is a quick synopsis.Two newly weds go on a honeymoon to the males cabin out in the woods on an island in a small lake, or large pond in this case. He instantly turns into a controlling bastard and is nasty to his wife for no reason what so ever. He then disposes of her birth control as he wants her to get pregnant. Tara wants to leave but he won't allow it and has her tapped on this wooded island as she can't swim. He sinks a boat after she nearly escapes. Tara knocks over a box and finds it contains a picture of her taken before they met, and realises that he has in fact stalked her for years and the wedding was just to trap her.His plan was to find some woman who could not swim and rather then kidnap her and make her a slave on the island he wooed her enough so she fell in love and married him! Now he could have lived happily ever after with a hot blonde and had kids and everything. But instead he wants to keep her on an island and impregnate her. It makes no sense as to why he would do this. They have one box of matches which as part of an escape plan Tara burns. The dude then travels from this remote island to town to get more matches.. He is away for maybe 20 minutes tops and that includes swimming both ways across the pond so I guess if she just screamed loud enough people in the town would have heard her. Anyway it turns out his Pa died out there and his dying wish was for his son to bring up a family at the scruffy little cabin. Apparently they were just gonna live off the land somehow, eating acorns and beetles and fish. Anyway she catches her husband in a bear trap and escapes. That's it. Oh, and then he shots himself.I can only think the whole idea for this move was thought up by someone trying to get into Tara's pants. I noticed there are a few reviews that give this worthless piece of crap 10/10?! I guess the film crew and cast maybe wrote them or possibly their parents so that their kids feelings would not be too hurt by all the negative reviews.

A young couple gets married, and goes to honeymoon trip to the woods. Or a small cabin on a lake, whatever - in the middle of nowhere. The new husband turns out to have serious issues with social life, communication and his visions of life are just twisted. Julianne's honeymoon will turn into a true nightmare. She will find herself marooned and chained, the only way out is by swimming after wiping off the obstacles, Mitch being the biggest one. The plot carries on nicely, it's not boring at all, just full of 'goofs', but if that doesn't matter, it's okay entertainment for evening. The biggest goof being how could she not know his boyfriend is a boy fiend indeed? They dated over one year before getting married, and this honeymoon brings out the true husband? The scary thing is, there actually exist people like this, both female and male..Mitch's behavior is exactly like one from Criminal Minds. In my mind I created a small profile about him, heh.

Well to be honest I saw the previews and the last 15 minutes only. It didn't appeal to me due to the overall dark tone. However while watching the last 15 minutes I did become a bit intrigued as I paralleled the plot to the abusive marriages that so many women must endure in our society today. The physical and emotional abuse that leaves women feeling enslaved by their spouse and their ultimate fear of death if they were to "leave" the marriage/home. I felt the agony, fear, terror, hopelessness while she strategized and struggled to escape. I saw the conflict within the women in the end with she is faced with the prospect of killing her husband yet feeling empathy. I also felt the absolute freedom that must have been felt when she finally did escape....

If you are looking for a movie that has a predictable ending and in reality has a pretty far-fetched plot, this one fits the bill nicely. It's not that I didn't like it, I wasn't expecting a blockbuster and I got just what I expected, good cheap entertainment, (I saw it on LMN Network.) Mitch had thought of everything, or almost everything. You can never count on a persons fear to paralyze their actions when their life is at stake. Granted, the acting wasn't all that great at times, but I knew I wasn't watching an Academy Award Nominee. I have read a lot of bad reviews of this movie, one of which stated that the future of America was doomed if someone liked this movie. All I can say is that for me, I can watch a bad movie, which there are plenty of, or I can watch a good movie, and be equally entertained. One doesn't go into a movie such as this looking for answers to solve the world's problem, this movie and others like it are entertainment and entertainment only. Sit back relax and be entertained, even if it's counting the goofs, errors, inaccuracies, etc. Just enjoy.
