For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
... View MoreAn unexpected masterpiece
... View MoreI cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
... View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
... View MoreI'm still reeling from this one.Its basically a hammer- horror -'comedy' , complete with abysmal script , timing, production,direction ,and characters that only had depth once they were pulled apart..
... View MoreI liked the premise of the movie and went in not expecting much more than a crap movie, I wasn't surprised. Bad acting all around. Bad cinematography. Plot holes, and horrible music. Ridiculous ending, Don't waste your time
... View MoreThis is another film that shows you dont need a massive budget to make a half decent horror film.Loved the music and setting; reminded me of John Carpenters THE FOG.Acting was good, story was novel and even the low budget special effects were used well and most importantly it had a really eerie almost Lovecraftian atmosphere. The director of this film certainly knows a lot more than most of the so called horror directors these days and does it all on a limited budget - good camera work and setting but the music was what sets this one apart and puts it up a rung on the horror ladder.I was not expecting much going into this but I came out with a lot more than expected.If you like to find low budget niche horror movies you will love this one!
... View MoreA group of people living on a small island in New England find themselves cut off from the mainland,no ferry,no supplies,no power,no internet. At first,the obvious limitations of the budget was a little worrying,but the cast,the story,and the writing really made up for it,and I found myself absorbed in the lives of these people,and the lurking horror out of sight. The first 45 minutes are very effective,and I do wish they had stuck to this instead of the later attempts at sci-fi action,which is rarely possible on such a small budget. There are a few bits of gore,which seemed to be the wrong color to me,next time up the red and shiny! The second half was OK, and with a larger budget I could see this movie doing very well,I really liked the setup and the atmosphere and paranoia of the first half was very well done indeed. So,a mixed bag,I was hoping that the apocalyptic Lovecraftian feel of the first half would continue through the whole film,perhaps the filmmakers would go that route on another movie? Because there's lots of promise here,a damn fine effort. The doctor's identity drove me nuts,until I realized she was in Planes Trains and Automobiles!! She was fantastic,a great character,I liked the film and would watch it again.
