Devil's Island

The synopsis says that "the locals are less than welcoming and trying to hide a secret." The locals actually succeed in hiding the secret since the movie just stops before we find out what the secret is. I actually liked it pretty well up to the point where it started to become clear that the writers weren't sure what it was all about. It's not stunningly original or anything, but the setup works pretty well; it just sets up and.... the end. It's kind of a shame since a lot of things really seemed to be clicking, like Elaine Alexander's performance. Some plot elements defy common sense, which I suppose comes back to a weak script. Could have been a surprisingly good movie if they'd left that to bake all the way.

There was potential for this movie, but the story was just way too shallow. Sean and Taylor King just never developed it enough. The end result is once done, you can't help feeling "what's the point?". Another waste by amateurs.

To many questions left unanswered leads to an incoherent script that made no sense. It felt like they ran out money and just had to end it. The only bright spot is the lead actress who pretty good. But she can't salvage a poorly written script. Don't waste your time. Find something else to watch - anything else.

The movie looks like a draft of a movie. It's lacking all the parts where you'd normally go " Ahh ok !" So much is left unsaid that you have to make your own story with the 2 or 3 details they do tell us. The girl has a certain charm and is not a bad actress. That can't be said for all the other actors in this "movie"

So we start this one off with a Pawnee myth? And a boat.

And then....confusion, as some girl stares out at a lake, dances around the house, CLOTHED...boring, and walks around an island trying to get a signal on her phone. Uh oh, then she meets malingering old hillbilly on the dock.

Then girl is apparently being stalked. Then weird girl goes out and gets startled by Mort the hillbilly...who decides to come up behind her and grab her shoulder rather than call out to her? -1 star for dumb.

Okay now so she catches this guy Michael walking into her house holding a hammer. And eventually she puts him down. Finally.

Then one month later...She's doing her dancing act again around the house and docks and wherever....and gee...what a lame ending. -1 Star. 3/10.
