kaisertabitha This film isn't scary or suspenseful or even entertaining. It's not bad enough to be good, it's just plain bad. The twist at the end makes absolutely no sense and is clearly imitating a Shyamalan-type plot twist, with about as much success as his worst efforts. Don't be fooled by people who compare this to psychological thrillers--there's nothing thrilling about this movie, it's a snoozefest. Don't waste your time with this.

tampuopolo Just finished this movie as of Feb 28, 2017! What can I say about this movie, it has the right touch of creepiness but hidden revealed of beauty and yet troubling horror mixed with true friendship and love. What I love about this tale is how well it's set up, down to the costumes, the environment. You'll notice how the film looks like it's black and white in itself , as if its straight from history , from the 1921 which the film is set in. I love the music of the time, the history, the clothes, even the way of speaking.The ending was the best, but I was confused, I had many suspects in the film of the who the ghost was. I don't think it explained much about Walter or his back story enough. If you love surprises , especially at the end, you should see this! It has a few jumps and scares, but the true scary part of this film is the thought of death and were we all go. The beautiful score, the sets, all that will scare you more than anything else. I lost my mother , so this movie really touches my heart, especially since she died a year after this film came out. I give this film a 9 out of 10 only because it was a bit confusing, but maybe that's because I need to re watch it :) great master piece of a film. Truly haunting on every level, on every scale!

David Roggenkamp What happens when a bunch of people awaken on an island? They find themselves against all odds trying to get off. There is some great potential plot wise, but it is hardly a new one since the time of the television series "LOST". I also couldn't help but feel it seems to play out the same, at least the first part, while it later reminds me much of the same was as the movie "Predators"; further, there are moments I swear it was back out of the 80s film "Predator".Having said that, the movie is definitely a drama and action film. It stars a few different characters plucked from around the world – most of the premise is the same, they ended up at a bar, drank something just a bit too much that night, and found themselves blacked out and awaking on an island somewhere in the ocean. Why they are here, none of them know. What they do know is they must get off of the island.This is where it slowly transitions from "LOST" into an action flick; they do manage to get off of the island and into another nearby island that has civilization. Turns out one of the guys present was lying. As the movie later reveals, they in fact are being squared away on the island as organ donors for nefarious purposes on the black market. Sounds intriguing, but this plot point isn't investigated much and it quickly turns into a series of revelations as why the operation works the way that it does.There is one military guy that seems to be a cut above the rest, and there is a girl that trained in fighting; the rest of the characters seem to be unremarkable and unmemorable, save the one guy that turns out to be a traitor – but it may just be looks on his part.The movie is good for a weekend morning thriller, but I wouldn't push it as creme of the crop.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/?p=9656).

leplatypus This is a sort of Dr. Jones / ghost-busters / Dana Scully / Ichabod Crane transplanted in England at the start of the XXth century. So it's science vs paranormal with the originality to have a woman playing the part. Rebecca breathes British education, glamour and talent so she is the perfect pick. However, after a strong start and really chilly moments, the movie starts to get fragile as her character seems actually terrified by paranormal : It's not really believable that such a character fights to explain paranormal if she is afraid ! Then, the story gets even more weirder as the phenomena get personal but there is again some strong moments ! So my conclusion is my summary : one of the few movies that put me uneasy but with a story too far-fetched , thus a bit unbelievable like a ghost !
