Uninhabited

Beth and Harry goes on a island to spent a holiday there for ten days. Soon they discover some signs and realize they are not alone there and somebody else lives and visits them at night when are asleep. After finding an old cabin also they found an book that has something written and so will know that a girl was raped and killed there one hundred years ago and now seek revenge on every man that stays on the island.

I was anxious to see this movie because of the poster that looks alright but it was a disappointment. This is not a horror not even a thriller. Based on real events? Maybe for the first ten minutes.

I think that you don't need to pay too much attention at this film but instead let yourself be mesmerized by the stunning landscape.

I am not surprised that there isn't a lot of loving for this movie. Sold as a horror movie, but lacking any real substance, and yet it actually does a lot of things pretty well.

The two leads are both very amiable, and do a decent job, admittedly neither is working from a wonderful script. I liked the pacing of the film, the beginning so bright, so beautiful, so full of expectation and bliss, a contrast to the end, which was dark and chaotic.

The suspense was good, and well built up. I kept expecting someone to jump out of the trees, or for it to have a moment or two similar to Lost.

The ending let it down, it deserved better, and the obvious scene, where we knew the fish was going to get one of them.

A decent watch. 6/10

I am a fan of Aussie flicks and would like to see more offerings!

This movie is set on Masthead Island in the Great Barrier Reef. A marine biologist and her boyfriend are on a 10 day holiday, on a beautiful deserted island....or so they think. Strange events begin to take place leading to a shocking discovery of a sad event. Soon the two lovebirds are not alone and their new neighbours clash. However the new neighbours don't last long.

The movie is minimalist like the Saw franchise. There are only 6 characters but that is enough. If you like homegrown flicks, then definitely give this one a go. At the very least the scenery is breath taking : ) Enjoy

Uninhabited (2010)

I thought this was going to full on full found footage movies but again was so-what disappointed that it wasn't.

Like I said in my last post, i not fan of Mixed of hand held and normal filming, it dose not work for me.

I thought this movie sounded great, the idea was really good and the locations was great.

There could have done so much more with this movies, it's mind boggling, it kinds slow in places and really predicable in some places.

The acting was decent from short cast and for once I actually liked the last scenes of the movie, I thought it was decent end to a worth watching movie.

4 out of 10

I watched 'Uninhabited' as part of a MIFF double-horror special at Nova, Melbourne. This was second on the bill after 'The Clinic', which itself was a slightly-below average movie.

The film is entirely set on a gorgeous entirely secluded remote island on the Great Barrier Reef. A couple are on a ten-day romantic escape to this island, and early on in their getaway mysterious and unexplained happenings commence.

I actually enjoyed the first portion of the movie, the building of mystery was handled reasonably well and I held some genuine curiosity towards what was happening on the island (being set on an island I was half expecting some kind of black smoke monster to appear at some stage!).

However this intrigue dissipated pretty quickly. The acting, particular of the male lead was noticeable pretty poor and the film struggled to create any meaningful suspense or horror. The only part of the film which managed to create any kinds of feeling of suspense was the remoteness of the setting, but this is fairly stock standard for the horror genre. The plot was very clichéd and very predictable.

Overall an uninspiring film which unfortunately didn't build on mystery created early on in the film.
