Why so much hype?
... View MoreTo me, this movie is perfection.
... View MoreA waste of 90 minutes of my life
... View MoreA bit overrated, but still an amazing film
... View MoreSoothe film consists of our quite attractive people and one fat man, who get on a boat for a trip, and crash on a desert island.But things go from bad to worse. We have a proposal, and the the island is infested with Bob Marley wannabes who have fun in trees, and have a taste for human flesh.The film starts with a pointless flashback featuring a girl wearing too much make up that hadn't been invented yet, who gets gobbled up, but leaves a machete in an appropriate place for later.Then we are treated to a group of annoying people who you just know are going to end up as chowder later on. I couldn't care less for these people, they spent the majority of the film, hating each other, or distrusting each other, so it was good when they started getting picked off.There's no real surprises, the first girl we meet ends up living, and they picked off in order of annoyance. The machete is found at the end and the lead girl, chops off the head of the alpha male.What happens next is bizarre, the rest of the Marley crew, walk forward, know their master is dead and back off. The ending is surprising, because I was expecting some cheap jump scare at the end, but no, she sits there in a mood for a while and rows off on a raft.It's a bad movie, with an okay looking monster.Really not worth watching.
... View MoreIf you read my reviews you'll see that I'm not one for hyperbole. But, all things considered, this really is one of the worst films I have ever seen.A group of young rich Americans - who have various relationship issues between them - get on a yacht to sail off to a party. The boat sinks and they find themselves stranded on a mysterious island where they must battle to survive against a tribe of murdering sub-humans.Yes it's all been done before, and there is NOTHING in this film that even attempts originality. But that's not the main problem. I can't tell you how bad it is. The relationships between the characters are poorly developed, the characters themselves are one-dimensional and unsympathetic, the acting is bottom-rate, the plot pointless, the direction annoying.I usually try not to spoil in my reviews but this film is so bad I don't want you to waste your time seeing it, so I'll give you an example: One character is attacked by the creatures and dragged off into the jungle while he sleeps. He wakes to find his shin-bone broken and sticking out through his skin (he has noticed none of this as he slept). This kind of injury must surely be one of the most painful things possible, yet when he (eventually) notices it he winces as though he has been stung by a bee, then calmly ties the bone with a splint, gets up and starts walking around seemingly un-perturbed. Later we see him running.Characters are seemingly killed off one by one, only to be seen again later being tortured by the creatures - and then killed anyway. As the plot rambles on, the tribe seems to have some kind of mysterious agenda, and it turns out they are selective in which humans they kill, but by the time we discover this there is only one human character left and she has no-one to talk to, so we don't get to know why.Sometimes films are so bad they are actually funny, and they develop cult status. That won't happen to this one, because it doesn't even have any heart. Even if you like gore, the killings are not all that bloody so you'll be disappointed on that level too. Overall, by the time the closing credits roll it really is a relief, and you just wonder: why did they bother?In all my IMDb reviews over the years, I have never given a move a '1' rating before. It seems there's a first time for everything!
... View MoreThis movie was awful. The intro was cool, beginning was standard with a lame twist, and then it was just boring from then on. The monsters seemed cool at first but the way they acted was too human, but obviously that was the point because they are called a tribe or spoken of as humans. It was just so silly how one acted towards the end, it was like animals with a code of chivalry, so lame. It's like the director didn't know what direction to take these "people" in. The ending was utterly stupid, there is one lone survivor, and she just sits at the end of the beach, and minutes are wasted watching her sit there, seemed like minutes. At one point during the movie there was what appeared to be her dead bf, but it wasn't, BUT THEN WHERED THAT FRESH BODY COME FROM? And this many decades old tent was unbelievably still in tact, give me a break. There was just so many stupid things about this movie, it's not worth watching. And no, there were no hot girls, not to me.
... View MoreWhat a waste of time. The opening sequence takes place in the past and looks promising. But then...we get to the present. And it all goes downhill from there.The movie apes a lot of Predator sequences. But it's all a waste because the characters are really being chased by some kind of weird mutated bigfoot ape things.Everyone dies pretty fast, so that too, was a waste.Jewel's character is the only one left standing. And she ridiculously goes into Predator fightin mode. I'd say it jumps the shark right there.The ending is anticlimactic. And you just kind of sit there like, that's it??? Total waste of time. Jewel did give it her all, though. But sometimes even good acting cannot save a really bad movie.
