Must See Movie...

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.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A group of young people like cliche american movies fall in the middle of a secret or something. The film is a classic American film. The director obviously wanted to remove the film from this classics. He tried to make a difference in the cliché but could not save the film. It was surprised that his character was not a hero later. The strangling woman is also a separate comic.The end of the film is really nice. The last 20 minutes it was not as classic as it was put.Other than that, he did not die first in fatness.The things that attract Filmin down are:It was a classic.The players were bad.The characters were simple.The film was of good quality.The shooting mistake is too much.The so-called secret was ridiculous, but it was not bad anyway.

For a movie made for a million bucks, it definitely delivers. It is a tiny bit slow paced but that seems to work for it. Considering the budget its very well produced and has several very lovely young ladies in prominent roles. Its very violent and often gross but that is to be expected in what is basically a horror movie. The plot is a bit thin and the liberal philosophy is lame but the story does make sense and is fairly easy to follow for all that. Most of the cast are unknowns but they have some acting ability and I know I'm not alone in being a sucker for mysterious island adventures. Ah yes, I recall fondly The Most Dangerous Game and many others. Ignore the low rating you see here, if you like lower budget flicks that get a lot of mileage out of their investment...you will probably dig this one, a good looking film with lots of action and suspense.

Where do you begin with this movie! The movie starts with an almost entirely unrelated and totally unexplained subplot. This subplot boils down to a group of scientist found the missing link in the Caribbean, not Africa or Asia where the earliest hominids have been found. That's not at all though! The church finds out that the missing link is found and sends in an assassin (Bishop from Alien). All of this has almost nothing to do with the movie though!The real plot begins and were introduced to five forgettable individuals. After some poor character development and attempted tension between the characters the creatures are introduced. Naturally, when the survivors' "leader" goes missing the four remaining survivors split-up because it ensures the highest chance of survival. Two people return to the beach or attempt to, but are chased and then are forgotten for the next 40 minutes. Meanwhile the two who continue searching are ambushed by Bishop. He kills some fat guy and then chases the main girl before being killed by a creature. With the creatures hot on her tail she discovers the creature have a weakness. Their infrared vision is blocked by grape juice! This is where the movie just falls apart. The main character infiltrates the creature village and searches for her boyfriend. The fate of her two friends is learned, shocker they're dead. Anyway she finds her boyfriend who has had his spine removed but is living and moving rather well for lacking a spinal cord. She smothers him to death with kisses and flees the village, creatures in hot pursuit. She has a final standoff with the creatures where we discover their bodies are the evil gorillas from Congo and their faces are from Predator, it was totally original though. She kills the alpha male and the creatures just walk off she happily leaves her Caribbean vacation and sails for home. One thing that annoyed me about this movie they make a point of pointing out the large cranial capacity of the creatures which split from modern humans when they developed. That was 200,000 years ago, sure it took us awhile but we mastered the planet in that time and flew into the stars. These creatures who are supposed to be the closest living relatives to humans haven't even developed clothing.

This movie is horrible. From the bad acting to the amateurish special effects to a lack of continuity, it has it all. The only redeeming quality in the production was the make up on the creatures. I'm actually disappointed that IMDb does not have a way to rate a movie lower than "1". There was a complete lack of story and the addition of Lance Henrickson only teased me to rent it. Thank God it was a Redbox movie and I'm only out $1 USD. Some of the things that stood out in this movie as just being bad, poorly thought out or ridiculous? Lack of HD? Perhaps its how the director intended it to be, but the movie appears to have been shot in SD rather than HD.When they are on the beach after washing up after sinking and they have the radio and are trying to call for help. Last time I checked the great big 12v marine battery that powers that system would not have washed up either, but yet, there it was! No antenna? How about a portable hand-held radio in the sequel? Again on the beach, you see them standing close to the edge of the islands vegetation and then the very next scene is a faraway shot of them all standing on the beach and the vegetation is nowhere near them.Obvious "Predator" comparisons can be made via some of the effects and some of the actions of the actors such as the creatures vision, sliding down the mud trail etc.Worst scene? When the female lead finds her boyfriend in the cave and realizes that he cannot be saved, decides to smother him while kissing him goodbye. We actually were howling with laughter at that.Again, please do not ever rent this. It took me two days to get the stink out of my DVD player.
