When
medical trials are pushed to their limits, the most extreme tests end up on St.
Leonards Island in the north Atlantic - a re-purposed prison for some of the
world's most violent criminals. But when one experiment goes wrong, the entire
island becomes a terrifying, disease-riddled maze for desperate survivors.Written by Golden Crab Films
Right from the start, the majority of characters are totally unbelievable and the acting below par. To be fair to the cast, many of them don't have much experience, so it is down to the director to guide and get the most out of them - which they clearly didn't.
The story isn't that good, to begin with, and being stretched to 1h 46m makes it something of a trial to stay awake through. I was very relieved when the end credits finally appeared.
There is no sense of atmosphere or drama to bring the viewer into the world of the characters. It is like watching endless slides of someone's boring holiday snaps.
You'll get more tension and fear from watching a washing machine on the spin cycle.
Make a list of all the most horrible qualities that the worst movies have that you've ever seen. Post the list on the net somewhere. Then watch this movie and see how they just totally nailed what was on your list! Did they travel forward in time, see your list of the most horrible qualities of the worst movies ever made, then go back in time and make this movie, making sure to check off everything on your list? You tell me!
