Georgan G Could have been better, but held my interest to see if the stranger is truthful. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review Jerod S Retreat, with a side of killer disease. When Jamie Bell washes ashore, things get deadly, but not for the reasons you might think. Overacted. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Jeffrey P Keeps you guessing as it sets itself up to disappoint or surprise… and it kinda does both. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A couple go off to stay at a secluded house to recover from a tragic event. When an injured stranger collapses nearby, they take him in only to have him inform them of an impending danger back in civilization and they must barricade themselves inside. Cue danger and mistrust and be paranoia. Pretty decent thriller mostly due to the cast which features Thandie Newton, Cillian Murphy and Jamie Bell. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review the s This is a movie that had genuine potential; a situation where they had an entire island and old, isolated house to create an easy, creepy environment. And that's half the battle with a movie. The other half, however, is the part where this film fails and fails horribly: the writing. Spoiler alert: Whatever the writer had in mind with the whole epidemic thing, it fell flat. It came out of left field, there was ample time for the couple to be warned about it from the mainland…not even the most rapid virus spreads and kills so fast that there is no time to report it on the news. Then the (OMG!) plot twist that the guy was infected and he was trying to keep it from spreading (somehow he gave it to her husband but despite living with them both, she didn't get it?) Just an absolute mess of writing and plot development. Some high school level skill at play here which rendered the movie an unwatchable mess of boring pseudo-twists and anticlimactic parts that ultimately added nothing and couldn't save what was an already ruined movie. Waste of time. Quite literally. Despite the beautiful landscape, this isn't worth the 90 minutes you'll never get back if you decide to watch it. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked the concept and the acting here. I don't know why I'm giving it such a low score then-- perhaps because there's just so little here. Not much to chew on here, really.
