8/10
I thought it was pretty awesome!

Now I hadn't heard of this until yesterday but I thought I would give it a watch. Most films like this, the ones with a slightly moronic title and a sort of cliché storyline, are terrible. I was pretty damn wrong.

You know the general idea of the film, based on the summary above or perhaps you have seen the trailer. Now, while it has the kind of plot you expect from most horror/thriller movies these days, it seems different somehow. I do like their approach to this storyline. They didn't make it blatantly obvious from the beginning that they should have a reason to get away to the island, kind of thing. It does jump back and forth in time quite a bit, as i'm sure has been said in other reviews but its pretty easy to keep up with.

I would have given this film a 9, however, the ending has left me wondering something and its bothering me... I don't want to say too much in case I ruin it. If you watch it then maybe you will figure it out. Or you could write on one of my other posts, I have lists on here which you could write on and ask me. It probably sounds stupid but I don't want to ruin it for those who don't want to know.

Either way, I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome of the film. While the ending was sort of expected, the entire movie also had the ability to doubt yourself and make you think something completely different was happening.

So yeah I thought it was awesome =D The rating for this movie might not be great but I think its better than what its been given. It all depends on your expectancy of the film. If your expectations are too high, then this would probably suck. But give it a go anyway, you'll never know if you like it if you don't watch it.
