Fear Island (2009)

Pretty Good

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

I really liked this movie. THOUGH, it is not a horror movie. I would categorize it more like a thriller or something like that. But like some of the others on here says, you keep changing your suspect and it ends up really surprisingly. I really liked this movie, and i think you should watch it! Do not listen to everybody saying - Oh this is bad, blah blah blah, because it is not. It is not a good horror movie because it is not that scary, but it makes you think, and i promise you, you will get surprised at moments! I do hope you will watch it, because it is worth it! You are not wasting you time, it is a good movie, i tell ya! Its a great movie!

I'm a person who likes TV movies, but if they're cheesy and horribly acted i usually turn off the t.v. Not in this case. I watched it with my brother last night and he loved it! (odd. He never likes my type of movies) This movie drew me in from the beginning. The music was amazing and the suspense even more. Haylie Duff proves that she's a great actress and the supporting casts are pretty good too. As a Christian, I'm not fond of cursing and sexual content in movies, but it was manageable and nothing graphic. Teenage stuff. The twist at the end was awesome. I have to watch this movie again just to make sure. In the end, it's a really good movie. I highly recommend it to people who could handle a little suspense.

Netflix is like celebrating Christmas every day. I can surf Netflix and find a satisfying film or television show to watch every night. The most recent film I took the time to see is "Fear Island." "Fear Island" (2009) is a horror/thriller film directed by Michael Storey.Five students set out to party on a desolate island. Things go array when Jenna, the only surviving person, is interrogated by Detective Armory and Psychiatrist Jamie Chalice. It is while Jenna is being interrogated, the audience is drawn into Jenna's storytelling capabilities and is left with an uneasy feeling as to whom the mysterious killer really is.This horror film draws my attention immediately. I'm captivated by the storyline, plot, theme, and character profiles. I am hooked. Who is the killer? If it's not Jenna then who? Because I am actively living this creepy scenario, continuously drawing conclusions, replaying the six character profiles in my head while looking for clues, makes my heart skip a beat. The music escalates to the fast-pace of a pulse, da-da, da- da, da-da. All of a sudden a snake leaps out of a cupboard, and I jump three feet off my bed. Holding my heart, I catch my breath, "Geezeee," I shout at the computer.After gathering my sanity for a moment, my suspicions are aroused as my mind and body wants something else to be lurking behind an inanimate object. With every foot step, my heart pounds as I anticipate another melodramatic creature feverishly suspending midair wanting to gouge, claw, or bite into another character, making him or her fall suspect as a victim. I can't blink. I can't swallow. My breathing is shallow... and then the mind twist. I am lead down a path one way, then out of left field, my mind is shoved down a different path leaving me with a psychological thriller for an ending. Not a surprising ending, but the journey captivating the end result is rewarding.The only problem I see with psychological thrillers is that by the end of the film, I am left wondering who the heck does that? And, then, one day down the line, a sociopath is suspended into reality leaving me with a comparison of the sociopath to a scenario with twisted motives in a movie much like "Fear Island."

Films from British Columbia should have a warning in the opening credits. Seriously.This is a murder mystery. Six folks on an island get murdered, by someone bent on revenge.Unfortunately, it's not much of a mystery, as they pretty much tell you who is doing the killing right up front.Also, there are several clue words given out, one of them being NAIVE. Except that I don't remember that word ever being used. What happened there? Did I miss it? And, although the bodies are pretty, the acting is remarkably bad, particularly from some of the actors I've seen elsewhere. Shock and sorrow aren't supposed to look like you're stifling a laugh.Cops are not that stupid.And, what happened to the dog?
