Trailer Synopsis Cast

Harry and Beth wanted a different kind of holiday so they chartered a boat to drop them off on a remote coral island on the Great Barrier Reef. The island was idyllic, surrounded by a wide reef, covered in palms and full of birds and other wildlife. It was small and totally deserted or so they thought. But when things go missing from their camp site and they discover someone else's footprints in the sand this quickly becomes disturbing as they realize the island has a ghost! Inspired by actual events.

A young couple go to a remote and deserted coral island for a camping holiday, only to find that the island is inhabited by a ghost seeking retribution for a past outrage. Uninhabited started quite well at first and built a terrific mystery but once the twist started happening and the end came in the film lost it's track and just throwed one disappointing scene after the other. The main girl does her best, the main guy was kinda wooden tho. Overall a disappointing horror film that started interesting and went downhill after that. (2/10)

Uninhabited (2010) I thought this was going to full on full found footage movies but again was so-what disappointed that it wasn't.Like I said in my last post, i not fan of Mixed of hand held and normal filming, it dose not work for me.I thought this movie sounded great, the idea was really good and the locations was great. There could have done so much more with this movies, it's mind boggling, it kinds slow in places and really predicable in some places. The acting was decent from short cast and for once I actually liked the last scenes of the movie, I thought it was decent end to a worth watching movie. 4 out of 10

Uninhabited is a low-budget horror movie with a different setting from your average horror movie. So, having so said, if this review prompts you to watch it, don't expect a Hollywood blockbuster - for that it certainly is not!However, it IS worth the time in my opinion (but, as my other film reviews have probably shown, I am not overly critical). In a way it is unfortunate that viewers are "preconditioned" by the producers of films attributing genres to them because, if you watched this movie with absolutely no prior knowledge, you might be forgiven for thinking you were about to watch a romantic love story set on a sunlit tropical island and thus be in a totally different frame-of-mind when things start to happen. Other reviewers have described the location as beautiful (and even more effusively) but it isn't really. All you have is a small island in the Great Barrier Reef with some typical bush and sandy beaches - nothing else! OK, I guess that's fine if you like sandy beaches, clear blue water and scrubby bush but Bora Bora it ain't!Other reviewers have been highly critical of the actors (and there are only really two of them along with four extras) and maybe their comments have some justification. But this is, as I have said, a low-budget movie. I wouldn't have been surprised to learn that it was a team of university cinematography students' exam project - and, if it was, would the negative reviews have been different? IMDb has no information (other than film credits) for either of the two lead actors which, in itself, indicates that they are basically unknowns. Henry James has been particularly severely dealt with - not without reason - but it IS his first effort and, to be thrust into a lead role on one's debut is a bit rough to say the least - especially when his character is a somewhat irrational person. Harry's behaviour, whilst maybe not totally unbelievable, is definitely irrational at times whilst his girlfriend, Beth's is much more believable. In a way, I felt a little sorry for Henry James because his character, Harry is, to put it bluntly, a dick-head - and how long will that stain on his otherwise clean acting sheet take to wear off? Some reviewers have described both actors in somewhat over-generous terms. In my opinion, neither of them are beautiful - but I believe that adds to the acceptability of the movie. They are just your average ordinary-looking young couple off on a "different" holiday that turns into something more. I think that some reviewers could try being a little more charitable and remember what it is they have watched before vilifying movies like Uninhabited. If their comments are indicative of their expectations, why are they watching movies like Uninhabited at all? Let them stick to big-budget Hollywood (or Bollywaood!) productions starring unrealistically beautiful specimens of humanity and then, if they aren't happy, give the seasoned professionals a hard time that won't bother them at all (if they ever read them, of course, which I very much doubt they do - whilst I imagine aspiring young actors like Henry James and Geraldine Hakewell probably do!).Come on people, if you decide to watch this type of film then how about making a little effort to encourage the newbies to YOUR entertainment industry? If you feel an unavoidable urge to be critical, then make your criticism constructively suitable to the situation - don't do your best to destroy whatever aspirations these novices have to do better. The world isn't full of Spielbergs, Pitts and Bullocks - but, with encouragement, maybe some novices might end up there.
