...on a purely philosophical level. The whole man against nature theme where man is considered evil while nature is somehow righteous. Well, guess what, man is a part of that nature...that includes the cruel streak. Whatever happened to survivor of the fittest? Apart from that, it was an okay indie. Altough I expected more of it, since I assumed when I read about the film that what eventually happened would happen.
shareWhatever happened to survivor of the fittest? is correct but the humans where killing/harming the animals for no reason, not to eat... not because they posed a danger to them, just for no reson...
They were renagades in nature so nature eliminated them.

Yes, but, contrary to the romantic anthropomorphisms we bestow upon Holy Nature, man is not the only animal that kills for sport.
And when a cat takes half an hour of torturing its victim before killing it, Holy Nature does not rise up in anger and in her righteous indignation destroy the cat and its relatives.
"Oooo, lookee, a Sneerfest I can jump in on!!!"
Your logic is infallible...but unfortunately this movie is...
I have a couple of issues with this film and that is one of them.
The other one is the lack of skin from the wife...there is some skin shown by her at the very beginning, but then she puts on a cotton, non-sexy ankle length nightgown for most of the movie.
They are alone on a beach, and she is fully dressed for most of the time they are there, at least after the first morning that is...I know she wanted to leave, so maybe that was it, cuz she sure didnt want to make the best of a bad situation.
I hate when movies tease like that, it could have been a better exploitation movie if she was running around scantily clad at the end, but I digress...
the duality in this movie was the toxic relationship of the man and wife, and their ignorance of nature and lack of respect for it, those two combined is what makes this a cult favorite.
Not a bad flick at all, but it does have its issues.
It needn't be that man is evil, it could just be that man had exceeded his remit within nature and the non-man part of nature was redressing the balance.
