Review of Fear Island

Fear Island (2009 TV Movie)
6/10
Professionally made but routine
22 January 2012
Warning: Spoilers
A small group of teens on an island is murdered, one by one.

Professionally made and attractively photographed, this murder mystery / slasher horror is routine, utterly predictable, and totally devoid of thrills. Its one claim to mild originality is the way it is told in flashback by the amnesiac last survivor. Unfortunately, by its very nature, this robs the "last man standing" element of any suspense, leaving us to discover only the order and manner of deaths, the reason why, and the expected final twist.

This is not "the worst film I have ever seen" - far from it - but it has nothing out of the ordinary to recommend it.
