Wonderful Movie

Good concept, poorly executed.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

An Exercise In Nonsense

To be honest with all of you, this movie impressed me. My expectations were low based on some reviews elsewhere. I usually ignore reviews so that I might make my own judgment. I'm glad I continued that trend because I would have skipped this had I followed the majority of reviews I read. The only thing that really bugged me was the reactions of the three mains. They seemed oddly comfortable with what was happening. I guess if you have actors with zero emotional range you can't have them get too emotional. Otherwise, I enjoyed it. The ending was pretty nice too. Kind of an FU at the end. Nicely done overall. John de Lancie is the name in this flick but don't look forward to too much screen time from the veteran. His role is a quick flash of about five minutes total. This story centers more on the three friends and their experiences on the island.

Pros: Not boring -- holds your attention throughout - good acting - interesting plot, some insightful questions - great ending which leaves the possibility for more in the future - john de lancie - beautiful location (although at least one shot was green screened i noticed, a shot on the lake that was very obvious, but thats the only one that comes to mind) - septic tanks - overall pretty well writtenCons:wish it was a little bit longer - killed off john de lancie too quick (never a good thing; were used to him being immortal) - a few bad jokes or lines or dialogue that made me cringeOverall:If you're a fan of the genre, add it to your collection or rent it.

I really didn't expect the film to be that good based off the score, but thought I would give it a go. It turns out to be a fairly slow paced light thriller. There is little action so its not for the Horror fans out there. More intellectual sorta movieI actually enjoyed the story line and thought the pacing was very good. There are a few pot holes (I still don't get how the situation arose), but the acting was OK, and I actually cared about 1 of the characters (female lead), which is better than most movies are able to get me to.Worth a shot if you have nothing else to do. Good time filler if you have nothing else to do. I have certainly seen higher ranked movies that weren't as enjoyable as this.

Kean Riley & Kasey Riley are from the region in which this thriller was shot -- and are iconic in local lore - word is that one has a birth certificate filed in Franklin County - Malone NY - dated Feb 28th,1962, and his "twin" has a certificate dated Feb 29th,1962 (There was no 29th in 1962.) They did an awesome job in this flick, and obvious is the influence of Stella Adler, Stanislavsky, and Howard Riley (always available as an "Acting (blank)" when some local politico or other messes up, quits, or is sent "Down the River.") They should be available to accept a single statuette next year for "Best Supporting Actor" - but only if that gig doesn't coincide with the 2012 Winter Carnival in Saranac Lake, NY.
