Memorable, crazy movie

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Soothe 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.

The best way to describe the movie is: redundant. Not a single frame of it is original. Everything has been done before and better. The group of victims, their dynamic, the setting, the monsters, the killings. Everything is just a rehash of a cliché of a stereotype.As far as horror films go, this is one of the lamest. The group of people is amongst the dullest, least developed bunch of morons without chemistry ever. The plot is something you and your friends come up with in 5 alcohol infested minutes when joking about bad horror plots. The setting is more like "Let's get paid to go to a Paradise Island!" The killings all follow the horror formula and are less gory than I've come to expect.All in all, this was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It wasn't as bad as classic early Boll, but that just made it worse. "The Tribe" is bad in a totally unfunny and unentertaining way, it's just plain and simple a waste of lifetime.

Recipe for this movie: Start off with "The Descent" Replace cast of girls with one likable actress and others no one will care about Change setting to jungle Make the bat-like creatures into monkey-like creatures, but keep the blindness and echo-location because, you know, monkeys are like that too. End on a Hollywood happy noteIf it wasn't so similar to "The Descent" or had come out first, I probably would have like it more. It didn't have the grittiness, the terror, the bad ass lead character. On top of that, the plot is pretty obvious and your typical Hollywood formula. It just doesn't measure up. It's not a bad movie, it just doesn't have any of the qualities that made "The Descent" so great.

Let me start off by saying that this movie is in no way a gore filled Slasher movie nor a big budget monster film. What it is however is a very decent low budget thriller. The special effects on the "monsters" (for lack of a better word) and the rest of the film, are above average for movies that don't have a lot of money. The script, though slightly boring and a little on the lame side as far as the characters go, was actually not bad overall. The actors were decent enough although not entirely believable in the situation. However, Jewel Staite definitely stands out as the best and most believable in her role. She is absolutely one of the most beautiful and sexy, underrated actors around. I don't really see why she wasn't recast in the newer version that they are making.
