Perfect, because you have to love movies that reveal themselves at their own pace, making you anticipate every next scene, because you simply cannot get ahead of the story.

Director/writer Rebecca Ugo turns the "Imperiled Teens on an Island"- standard on its head, and dials up the tension relentlessly. The attractive and (mostly) young cast serve the story well, with standout performances by Racheal Ihim, Charlotte Rose, and River Perkins delivering natural and nuanced performances.

Technical highlights include beautiful cinematography, including impressive drone camerawork, lush locations, and a fitting musical score.

A definitely worthwhile alternative to Big Studio blockbuster franchises.
