First of all, this movie is longer than the average movie, about 2 hours or so. I did not feel like that. I was so engrossed in the storyline that it could have been another hour and I just wanted the film to keep on going. It's even fast paced as it seems a lot of things have been cut out of the film to get to the big reveals. The lead actress carries an agency on screen that keeps you glued every second. I could not take my eyes off her. She did a great job at leading this film especially with so many characters surrounding but the way she expressed the central plot of family and sisterhood was very emotionally gripping and tragic at some points.
Now to my favorite part, THE MUSIC. And I don't just mean the music which was such an excellent score, but the way silence became music, the way screaming became drumming nightmares, the way the island became a sound that struck a chord into the depths of my heart, the way the ocean waves became whispers, the way the plot unfolded in a seemingly melodic rhythm, everything all worked in tandem like a song to deliver a melodic masterpiece. The development of each tragic event was something that no horror movie I have ever watched has ever done. It managed to make every moment emotional, terrifying and melodic at the same time. What a masterpiece Rebecca Ugo! Truly impressive! The fact that this film managed to make me sad and scared and even hopeful simultaneously is something to be said of the impressive work she's done. I can't wait to see more from her. It was an honor to attend this premiere. Truly feel like I am witnessing the birth of a generational talent!

If this film was done by beginners I'd give it a higher rating. I respect young filmmakers who give a feature length narrative a go.
However, for the average viewer the background of the director, cinematographer, actor, etc. Doesn't matter. Was the movie good or bad? In this case it missed the mark on most all levels. The directing was sloppy - the blocking, pacing, tension/suspense all fell short, or not at all. The photography was boring. Too brightly or darkly lit, purposeless camera angles, and several times out of focus - unconscionable in the cinematography business. The editing couldn't, or didn't, cover for the previous errors. The sound was a major disappointment. Simply inconsistent, at times inaudible, with sound effects that often were out of sync with the action - bush league. The story is for another review, but I suspect good filmmaking couldn't save this convoluted mess, filled with plot holes. It just didn't ring authentic., which leads to the acting. Once again, if these are newbie actors, keep going. If not, well..they ran the gamut of human emotions from A-B (yes, I stole that line).

Raveland was fun to watch and it remind me of a mixed with African film style and westerns. The actors did a great job bringing out emotions. I really enjoyed it. I like the idea of supernatural powers been part of the movie. Which gave it a great twist and turns.

The character's style, dialogue, and essence were tasteful. Some scenes were very technical in the way it was edited using silence to create suspense and cutting back and forth from peace to chaos. The use of flashbacks and memory was quite tasteful and the artistic utilization of fire and nature to drive the plot made the movie all the more enjoyable.
My friends all talked about the nice sunsets and I liked those as well but what I liked more was the way those served as a character in themselves, carrying on personality and changing color as the movie moved from safety to the unknown.
Raveland itself was a character that I came to fall in love with and Rebecca Ugo did an excellent job in achieving this. The use of blue and red colors in the film create a sense of blood and the ocean, communicating many deep messages that soothe the mind while making your blood rise. Not to mention, the way the interplay of powers was done quite well and each character was developed to have an identity and backstory that made me care.
Rebecca Ugo definitely did a number with the suspense on this. I also liked hearing the backstory of the film after the premiere. And after hearing that, I am even more impressed by the plot's ability to leave my mind guessing and impress me through visually striking innuendos.

I thought this low budget independent film was GREAT!!!! We all know anytime, you have a budget to keep...production of a film is limited... I thought the writing & creativity was FIRE. I thought the entire cast did an excellent job. So much talent! From beginning to end, this movie kept me thinking, wondering, & even guessing often, for me that's everything. I can't wait to see it again to see if maybe I got something wrong... Loved every bit of it & EXCELLENT job with all involved..So to all of you who had anything to do with this film. Writer/Director, Production team, Actors, on set team. I say CHEERS to you all!
