rjcbm Remember the insurance commercial about the dumb fumbling around people in scary movies? This is 13 episodes of that. I gotta go now and call Geico.

krish-4 Another show with unbelievably stupid characters. Some very poor acting also. The groom to be was very unconvincing with a fake smile. The plot was totally unbelievable too. Given the final purpose of the killings - there was not justification for many of the murders.Some of the more sincere characters were killed off. That did not help at all. I really wished the part creepy and part retarded little girl got killed off. And if the Killer cannot kill her - I hoped in a bizarre plot twist the director/writer will have Boko Haram kidnap her permanently. She was so annoying and stupid - every scene with her in it was painful to watch.No idea how shows like this get 7.5 in IMDb.

Gubby-Allen My thoughts tend to echo what many have said here. It's starts off fairly run of the mill for a couple of episodes and the end of disc 1 and all two - so up to episode 7, is pretty decent, you think you're onto an OK show.From then on, it is pitiful. You've ignored some of the clichés up to here, but they wipe out every one in the book within a few episodes. I really am amazed episodes 8-12 inclusive were ever approved for broadcast, it's total nonsense.An grey haired, ageing, late 50s killer armed with a small knife is near invincible, taking on anyone, of any strength, even with an arsenal of guns and coming away on top, showing the speed of Usain Bolt to get around and coming out away looking like he's on his way to a job interview.Totally absurd and baffling decisions are made, nobody makes any attempt to swim or row away from the island, they're all quite happy to leave a serial killer physically fully able and 20 yards from away with only some bars separating them while they chuckle and chatter away in the police station.Of course you can clock, hours from the end the clichéd last characters who will be left and who'll survive. Why not show some imagination and have had one or two of the lesser characters have got away, or separately made their way off the island, just to offer something different? In fairness, the final episode isn't awful and does tie up a previous five hours of total nonsense together pretty well in the end, but this was a missed opportunity to have created a decent show that offered something different from the stereotypical teen slasher drivel. Unfortunatey, it was every bit as bad by the end.

Emily B OK so this review has a couple of small spoilers but I do not reveal who the killer is!My brother was obsessed with this show and demanded I watch it, so I bought the DVD and started watching it one day...and finished watching it the same day! I couldn't stop watching it, I was hooked after the first episode. When I first turned it on I really had no idea what it was, my brother had just said it's about a killer who kills someone every episode and you have to guess who it is. It sounded like my type of show. In a nutshell, thats the plot! Trish and Henry are getting married on Harper's Island, which was where Henry and his best friend Abby grew up, although the island has been plagued by sadness since a killing spree seven years ago by the evil John Wakefield, whose victims included Abby's mother. I found the flashback scenes terrifying, when Abby found her Mum hanging in the tree my heart broke for her, it was so sad!They are joined by their friends and family, and the first few eps concentrates on the lead up to the wedding (although at the end of each ep someone is killed). It's not until around episode 5 that everyone realises that something is terribly wrong, when the Trish's father is killed in a spectacular fashion in front of everyone!Then it's basically a fight for survival, everyone is stuck on this island with a maniac on the loose. I did not guess the killer. My gosh talk about a shock. I pretty much considered everyone else, but when the killer was revealed my jaw hit the floor, I could not freaking believe it. No one that I know who watched it correctly guessed the ending.I loved all the characters and the actors who played them. I was really rooting for them to survive, especially my favourites Cal and Chloe. And i have to add, the island was fantastic, minus the murders it would have been a great place to get married, and it made the perfect setting for the show.Honestly, I could rave about the show all day, it was brilliant. I love a good horror/thriller, and I am so sick of reality TV, this made for a great change.I wished they would make another series, this was such a fantastic show!
