Voodoo Lagoon

I saw this movie two days ago and really quite liked it. I was surprised to find that nobody at the IMDb had commented on it. So I guess it is up to me to give give my comments.

Voodoo Lagoon is quite an intense film and I like that. The premise and the backdrop of the movie at first seem clichéd; college students, a remote tropical island, an ancient voodoo prophecy. The plot, however, has many twists and turns. Hamilton and Noble both carry off their roles well.

This movie is for people who like horror and thrillers. Whilst not being up there with the likes of the Exorcist, Dawn of the Dead and Hostel, it is worth watching - no classic, but an entertaining little film.

Needing a break from their college studies seven young adults decide to travel to a small tropical island for a few days of sun and fun. During the plane ride there they are given a form to fill out which asks a number of questions with one being to list their greatest fear. Although this seems rather odd to them little do they realize that it will have a great impact on them when they finally arrive at their destination. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that for a rather low-budget type of movie this certainly had potential. The tropical scenery was nice, the story was initially intriguing and there were several attractive women as well. Unfortunately, the plot began to unravel toward the end and the overall lack of suspense and character development began to take its toll as well. All things considered it wasn't necessarily a bad movie but it could have been better. Accordingly, I rate it as slightly below average.

Round a friend's house and we put on this uninspiringly packaged DVD that he'd got from God know's where. I was expecting little more than a lagoon and a voodoo doll from a film with a title like this - something to doze off to really -, but was pleasantly surprised to find myself enjoying a fast paced, horror flick, an interesting voodoo motif, and a chilling denouement. It's amazing what can be done with a beach, a few bikinis and a few inexperienced actors. This is a remarkably cogent and intelligent film that knocks seven shades of something out of The Beach and Scream. Why hadn't I heard of it before? And why aren't there more horror films made with Voodoo as the main subject?

I am a truly dedicated fan of low budget trashy horror films, and of classy intelligent horror films too. Voodoo Lagoon does not fall into either of these categories. My wife and I decided to watch a film and couldn't find much on, we found Voodoo Lagoon and I checked the IMDb reviews and thought "ok, sounds better than it looks" how wrong I was.

Very cheap production values, terrible (and I mean terrible)acting, a bog standard and absurd plot line, some of the cheesiest "torture" scenes (the scene at the beginning of the film will have you in hysterics) It was the biggest waste of money I have made for a long time.

I try to find a good side in most trashy horror flicks and have no problem suspended my disbelief as a general rule, but this film is seriously, seriously poor....it had some nice scenery, that's about the only virtue I can find. I wish it was so bad its good, but it ain't, just plain bad.

Very enjoyable film, if you're a fan of the genre you will absolutely love this.

Well written and one of the best films I've seen this year.

The cast do a great job which helps make it an enjoyable experience.

My wife wasn't sure about watching this film, she is not a fan of the genre to start with but also hadn't heard much about this film.

Fortunately, she gave this a chance and she absolutely loved it, she said it was totally different from what she was expecting. She is now keen to see more of this type of film.

Speaking personally, I want to see more from the team who put this film together.

I won't spoil the story, this one you just have to watch!
