I just want to know who wrote that synopsis? Wow.
I found this movie to be rather surprising. Despite reservations I watched it and enjoyed it. Yes, it's a Blumhouse horror but the writers did a great job explaining both the mythos of the island and giving a perfect explanation for the horror aspect. All in all it was a fun movie that I gladly give a 8 out of 10. Even if horror is not your thing you should give this movie a chance. Minimal gore, minimal jump scares, a whole lot of fun, and some nice nods to the original series especially with the ending. And Michael Pena does a great job as Rourke. I think Montalban would be proud.
Wow. A Spencer & Hill movie I've never seen. Well done! Now I have to look it up to buy and add to my collection. Thank you for this!
@dscwcfolly Pump the brakes on the hate before you have an aneurysm. Sheesh. I'm no fan of critics but I never wish death on them, I simply ignore them if they're being stupid. That said, I see no critic here telling you not to watch this movie. They do explain their grievances with the movie and RECOMMEND we give it a pass, not tell us to. My advice to you is to smoke a couple of bong hits and relax. You'll live longer.
Okay, first off, been researching this and it's really convoluted for some reason. The movie apparently was released in 2016 as Fireside Tales and was one man's passion project made with a budget of just $5000. I personally think he did a wonderful job especially getting decent actors (especially the main park ranger). Now as far as I can tell, it was re-released with this new title in 2019 and apparently one whole story was cut from it involving a creature that lived in water. I don't know why it was cut and I'm trying to find a copy of the original so I can see why. The synopsis on IMDB is completely wrong which is what they used here but the casting information is correct. It's just so weird since this movie is worth your time to watch. Nothing Oscar worthy but still deserves recognition none the less.
Just a fun time all the way through with decent effects! Proudly owned!
