I didn't think this was a bad movie. It's promoted as a horror movie, and if you go into it expecting the stereotypical format, you'll be disappointed. There's no gore, any violence is implied more than real and while Elle Alexander - the star - is a very attractive, there's absolutely zero nudity or sexuality contained. So it checks very few of what most people think of when they tune in to this kind of film. But it does have a pretty good atmosphere to it, and certainly a lot of mystery - maybe, in the end, a bit too much mystery as a lot of questions are left unanswered by the ending.
Samantha (Alexander) moves to a small island home she inherited from her grandparents. The locals don't like her, and some of them apparently want to drive her away. That's basically the story. Having spent a few years closely connected to a small island off the coast of Newfoundland that didn't get many visitors, I could kind of relate to a newcomer not being warmly welcomed. It's a short movie at about 1:11, but it moves fairly slowly. It's safe to say that while it's not boring, it's not fast paced and those who want a lot of action won't find this to their liking. The performances were decent enough, and even if everything isn't explained it's not a hard movie to watch, as long as you don't go into it expecting major excitement and thrills.
Simply put, it's not outstanding, but it's better than the reviews and ratings would have you believe. (6/10)
