n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
... View MoreNot sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

... View MoreLast night we watched 'Uninhabited'. It's the story of a young couple that camp out on a small tropical island near the Great Barrier Reef. They're dropped off there by a small boat that would come back to pick them up in 10 days. They have all the supplies they need and a tent. The island is supposed to be uninhabited so they would be alone and have a romantic getaway. After the first day or so they come to realize they're not alone, someone or some thing is watching them and messing with their things. Are the other inhabitants humans playing tricks on them or is it something much more sinister and supernatural? The movie contains some nice tropical scenic photography, unfortunately the story drags out and was ultimately a waste of time. I'll rate it 4 stars for the pretty scenery.

View MoreWhen Harry and his girlfriend Beth travel to one of the six hundred islands in the Northeast coast of Australia, they expect to camp ten days in a deserted paradise.But they find footprints on the sand and things missing in their camp. They believe that it could be a prank by some children camping on the other side of the island.After an incident with two Greek fisherman, the couple find that a woman was molested and murdered years ago on the island, and her ghost still walks the sands.....First off, I really doubt that this movie is based on actual events, because, Spoiler Alert!, no one lives to tell the tale.Take that equation away, and the film is pretty intense, with a wonderful soundtrack, and quite unsettling sound effects.The two leads are what you would expect from a cheap B movie, not the best actors in the world, but perfunctory.There are a few times when you think to yourself 'yes, I'd leave by now' like when they find out that someone gas been filming them, but no, they want to stay.So all in all, it's nice little find, nothing special, with a good twist ending, but never in a million years is this story true.
... View MoreEver since the tale 'And the sea will tell' by Vincent Bugliosi and Bruce Henderson became a bestseller, numerous attempts have been made to discover the horror behind uninhabited islands. This Australian film comes straight from the director Bill Bennett, who successfully directed his critically and publicly acclaimed flick 'In a Savage Land.' Bennett, however, disappoints this time.Beth (Gerlandine Hakewill) and Harry (Henry James) set off for a vacation to spend an idyllic time at an uninhabited island somewhere in the Coral Sea, off the eastern coast of Australia. Once there, the couple is fascinated by an appealing tropical climate, turquoise waters, white sands and pleasant winds. Led by their basic instincts the two begin combing the island and finally discover an old house and an abandoned grave with a name 'Coral' on it. They also become victims of lunatic shark-hunters, who tie the couple and leave them to die. The couple is however saved by an unseen entity, who forces the lunatics to take to their heels. The apparition's presence in the island is validated by 'her' sobs in the air.Further investigation leads Beth to a diary, which belongs to someone who came to the island long back. The diary accounts the history of island claiming it to be haunted by the spirit of a girl named Coral. The diary says Coral worked for a fishing crew at the island a century ago, and once got a deadly stone fish sting. She was subsequently raped by other men of the crew. Now Coral turned into a ghost and had since been avenging her death by killing anyone who comes for spending vacation in this tropical paradise.The film suffers from lack of content. Since the content is meager, several unnecessary sequences have been added. The photography is great but gets less attention from the director. The director could have used the silence of island for building a great atmosphere, which unfortunately 'Uninhabited' falls short of. The ending is fizzy and doesn't explain much about Beth's future. Harry dies in a jiffy and his part ends abruptly. I don't think its a good idea to be so concise when it comes to direction. I would anytime prefer to read 'And the sea will tell' or watch 'BBC's South Pacific episodes' instead of watching this somewhat childish and awkward creation or film, if this could be called one.
