The Worst Film Ever

So much average

Great Film overall

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Kept me guessing until the end i liked the smart tone and dark atmosphere and the setting on an island with nobody on it. The acting is believable and was cast really well a lot of good shots and very little music it has low rating but i don't know why i never heard of it before saw it 2018 but i would recommend to slasher fans and crime fans alike.If you have two hours spare and like slashers/crime stories give it a go 7/10 Underrated.

If LL Cool J is in a film it means that acting skills are optional. The rest of the film requires you to believe that someone had the remarkable ability to set all the events up knowing the script in advance. Because the events that occur could only have happened if you could see the script in advance. So these clowns are supposed to be FBI agents. Yet vending machines magically dispense things in a highly suspicious fashion and the agent is not surprised by this? This is a true idiot's delight.Sadly this has every type of amateur associated with it. There are truly horrible elements created solely just to create screams from the audience. It probably took a crew time to set up that scene, but somehow we're supposed to believe that the killer was able to set up this entire elaborate scene all by himself. And then the great finale, which would have made Jacques Cousteau envious. It's a comedy in the absurd. Leave it to these clowns to take exaggeration to the max. It takes a special type of low talent hack to come up with this pitiful waste of film. I give it a 3 for the actors who try to do what they can with this script. They weren't terrible, just made to do some very dumb things.

A team of aspiring FBI profilers are flown to a remote island called Oneiga where others of their kind are trained. Overseen by an eccentric supervisor, Harris (Val Kilmer), their skills are put to the ultimate test when it seems that one of them has caught the killing bug themselves. And this psychopath knows just how to play to the skills and weaknesses of each character. Tensions flare among the group when they take turns suspecting each other.Renny Harlin, director of such epics as "Die Hard 2" and "Cliffhanger", is clearly the right kind of guy for this sort of popcorn fare. It's pretty slick stuff, and the story *is* entertaining if also ridiculous at every turn. It's shot in a visually stark manner, with an almost monochromatic look. The production design by Charles Wood is pretty damn impressive. Things get rather gory at times, but suspense is minimal.Although the screenplay by Wayne Kramer (director of "The Cooler" and "Running Scared" (2006)) is always taking turns making characters look suspicious, ultimately the big reveal is not terribly surprising. This viewer was reminded of John Carpenters' "The Thing" while watching (there's even a blood testing plot point). The closest thing that the story has to a likable, sympathetic character is Sara Moore (Kathryn Morris); there just aren't that many people here worth giving a damn about.Not that the actors can be faulted. Morris is an appealing lead, while LL Cool J is given the opportunity to show off his physique, commit heroic acts, and basically be a bad ass. Eion Bailey, Clifton Collins Jr., Will Kemp, Jonny Lee Miller, Christian Slater, and Patricia Velasquez co-star. Slater has quite a memorable departure from the story.Overall, this is rather silly, but it entertains in its own crazed way.Seven out of 10.

While this is just a little B-movie, I did quite like the central idea and its execution (no pun intended). Story wise it's not really that big a deal, but it does keep you guessing and excited from beginning until the end, if you let yourself into the mechanics of the movie that is of course.The horror genre needs movies like this in my book more than anything else. Some might call it a thriller too of course, but whatever genre you put it in, the suspense and the "who's behind this" will keep you on the edge of your seat. With stellar performances (especially for the genre and the money invested) this is above average.
