This film was on my radar for more than a decade. Saw this recently.
It is a bloody n brutal take on the revenge n survival saga.
Young offenders r sent to an isolated island for disciplinary method.
The locations r picturesque but the plot has many flaws.
Ignore the flaws n u get a bloody good time.
There are ferocious dogs n the maulings r frighteningly gory.
Ther is also a very innovative immolation scene, few stabbings n axe chopping the shoulder scene. Now I came to kno that Adam Green got the body slicing axe scene in Hatchet 1 from this film.
Some may crib that the killer's identity is revealed very early.
Inspite of the director being new n the budget not that great, the film is a solid thriller n the best part is the entire film is shot in broad daylight n ther r no pov or shaky cam stuff.
I enjoyed this film after 13 years of its release, imagine the impact the film wud have done 13 yrs back.
I have liked M.J. Bassett's Deathwatch but found his Silent Hill 2 n Solomon Kane dull.
Obviously films like Deliverance, Southern Comfort, Rituals aka Creeper, Just Before Dawn, The Most Dangerous Game, etc. may come to mind.
