Sounds like Retreat from 2011


The one with Cillian Murphy. But that one had to do with a virus. This clearly does not.
Still, pretty close premise.

Ah yes, the movie where once the twist is revealed nothing made sense.

Cant say really... havent seen it in a while. What I remember is when we found out that HE carried the virus and they were after him so he couldnt spread it, I thought it was obvious that they couldnt let any of them live. Right ? Or maybe you meant something else.

Once we have found out he has the virus the way he's been acting the whole time makes no sense, trying to intimidate them like he was a serial killer or crazy.

It's very misleading on a re-watch.

He did what he did, and told them lies about the world being infected, to keep them contained on the island and not leave to get help, which would bring the military back to him. The military would kill them and find him and kill him.

He kept them in the house and on the island, because at that point, no one knew he was there. As long as the couple stayed with him and didn't use the radio, he would be safe.

Yeah I thought so too, and I loved Retreat so I thought this was gonna be a good one but it's boring as feck, long flashbacks of a long past love and slow scenes of people reading or looking at photographs or piling wood... It's reaaaaaaaaaaally slow
