Terrible, Uninteresting, Uninspired, and Dreadful


That is all. I'm usually the first to speak up in defense of lame, B-rated, quirky, independent, horror films...but this one just bites the dust for me.

Oh, come on, it wasn't THAT bad.

Yes, it was that bad. Even fast-forwarding through about a third of it didn't help. And the OP forgot "derivative and boring."

I disagree. Although it was derivative in some ways and wasn't the most compelling movie, it had quite a few good aspects. For instance, although this is a low-budget flick, it's clear that filmmakers are total professionals. The photography, score, actors, locations, editing, F/X, gore, etc. are all excellent (not that I care about gore, but gorehounds would be interested).

Also, even though the film steals quite a few elements of "Predator," there are enough differences that make it distinct. For instance, the beasts aren't aliens, there are no commandos, the story revolves around a group of castaways, and the main protagonist is a woman.

Speaking of women, the film should be commended for including the beautiful Brianna Brown as one of the castaways, which provides the perfect opportunity to have Brianna prance around in some alluring island attire, like a couple of the actresses in "Turistas." Unfortunately, the filmmakers have Brianna dressed in one of those long skirts that women put over their bikinis. So we have this gorgeous, shapely woman and they dress her in a floor-length skirt during the entire island sequence of the movie? Absurd.

Another problem is that there's not much depth to the characters and the story beyond the deep love of two main characters and the sometimes-moving music. Still, that's more depth than films like "Anaconda 3," lol.
