MattyGibbs Six friends ( plus a stowaway) go on a weekend getaway to a deserted island and find themselves at the mercy of a killer. The question is who is the killer? The premise is hardly original but then how many films are these days. The film is shown in flashback which to be honest I found a little irritating at the start but in the end I felt it worked. The characters/victims are the normal cannon fodder you would expect to find in a movie like this and at times it all feels a little predictable and I felt I'd seen some scenes before even though I hadn't. There is a lack of gore in the film although there are a number of good tense scenes and some wince inducing moments. For all it's obvious flaws there are enough nice touches to keep up your interest level and it has a nice twist ending. Although it's certainly no ground breaker it's an easy film to watch which makes it ideal for a Saturday night with a few beers. Overall I enjoyed this film and it's worth watching on the basis that you don't expect too much.

Michael O'Keefe Sometimes you watch something in desperation. Sometimes on a friend's recommendation, figuring its worth a watch. It is! FEAR ISLAND is a movie that proves there are endless ways to meet your demise. A handful of friends, and a stowaway, head to a family cabin on a secluded island for a getaway of partying. Brothers Tyler(Kyle Schmid)and Kyle(Jacob Blair) had no idea their hospitality would be marred by the discovery of a dead body. Then when they try to go for help, their boat has disappeared from the dock. Now the story falls in line with so many other slasher flicks; everyone on the island are in startled fear of a mysterious killer. One by one the friends meet their deaths in various and imaginative manner. A lone survivor(Haylie Duff)tries to retell the gory chain of events to Detective Armory(Martin Cummins) and a therapist, Dr. Chalice(Ann Marie DeLuise). Personally my interest was in the stowaway, Megan(Lucy Hale). Now you have to figure out who the killer was and why. Wait for it, there is a twist of course. Filmed totally in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on a modest budget. Others in the cast: Jessica Harmon, Jim Thorburn and Brenda O'Brien.

Uriah43 A group of 4 young men and 3 women decide to take a boat to their favorite island vacation hangout. Once they reach the cabin and settle in members of their group begin to die off one by one. So much for the plot which has been played and replayed numerous times in the past. Even so, this particular film was told in a unique manner which managed to keep the film at least somewhat entertaining. For example, the lone survivor was a woman named "Jenna" (Haylie Duff) who was rescued by the police and suffers from amnesia. So she tells the story in a series of flashbacks. Now, normally when the "flashback technique" is used it tends to take away from the mystery of the film. Fortunately, this wasn't the case as there were many unexpected twists and turns as the story evolved. There isn't much horror or suspense. Neither was there any gratuitous sex or nudity. The acting was mediocre, the dialogue was weak and the special effects were nowhere to be seen. But the mystery keeps it together long enough for an unexpected ending which manages to tie everything up rather nicely. In short, if you're looking for an exciting horror film then you might be disappointed. All things considered I rate is as average.

Neil Welch A small group of teens on an island is murdered, one by one.Professionally made and attractively photographed, this murder mystery / slasher horror is routine, utterly predictable, and totally devoid of thrills. Its one claim to mild originality is the way it is told in flashback by the amnesiac last survivor. Unfortunately, by its very nature, this robs the "last man standing" element of any suspense, leaving us to discover only the order and manner of deaths, the reason why, and the expected final twist.This is not "the worst film I have ever seen" - far from it - but it has nothing out of the ordinary to recommend it.
