Wonderful character development!

Just perfect...

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Dr. Tora Hamilton (Radha Mitchell) has another miscarriage while working in a hospital. Her rich husband Duncan (Rupert Graves) takes her away to live on an island where she can work again. When her cow dies, she climbs into a small steam shovel and excavates a deep hole only to discover a dead body. The body was apparently killed due to a ritual and she decides to conduct her own investigation getting people killed around her.Having seen two versions of "The Wicker Man" and "Harvest Home" with Bette Davis, I found this film about local cult rituals to be a let down. Who buries a cow? Aren't they either butchered or incinerated? The film is more of a drama/thriller than horror. The quality was on par with a made-for-TV film, in fact I thought this was a TV movie.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

This movie was laughable. Never once grasped my attention except for how utterly dumb it was.I have seen much better movies than this and would recommend saving yourself from wasting your time. You may have better luck with Barney re- runs. You may be a little more entertained.This is kind of an embarrassment for all actors involved. That definitely would not make their parents proud.Once again,POOP JUST PURE POOP Save your time and hopefully your money by not renting this film.

From the start you know this is going to stink when the lead asks her husband of many years "Your father doesn't know you're a diabetic, does he?", when they are IN HIS HOUSE having dinner! Presumably this didn't seem important enough to talk about before!A nosy American doctor shows up at a remote Scottish island and without delay starts her own full scale murder investigation after she dug up a hole in her garden that uncovers a body! She immediately gets a job at the hospital, too. She must be a helluva doctor!The bloody awful music tries to give an atmosphere of suspense for the entire 90 minutes... even when there's NOTHING HAPPENING!The cult elements are never really explored, apart from a few daubings on walls and bodies... which the cops don't seem to think really matter.Anyone who gets in the way is bumped off and for the cops it's just another day in the office. Happens all the time on these remote islands.Somehow the house on the top of a mountain seems to have been FLOODED! How the bloody hell did that happen?The final 20 minutes play out like the worst episode of a 1990's Ruth Rendell crap-fest.Overall it's just very silly. It is Lifetime TV for people who think that Lifetime TV needs more murders!

Fairly run of the mill thriller. A woman moves to a remote Scottish island and stumbles onto a buried body. And so the 'mystery' begins....Nothing special here but still enjoyable. Overall the story is quite standard and predictable. Even the twists and turns can be seen a mile away. Don't expect to be wowed or anything.The only thing that lifts this movie in to something worth seeing is the lead actress (Radha Mitchell). Every time Radha was on screen she stole the show in this otherwise bland experience. Her convincing performance makes this movie. Overall a good movie for a rainy day. Just don't expect Oscar material.
