1/10
The Bad Movie Island
2 January 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I didn't have high expectations of this movie and yet it was even poorer than expected. The so-called paranormal island is a place in a middle of some lake where people gather to drink and party. But after midnight bad things start to happen and people go missing. This is supposedly due to the presence of the "caretaker" a ghost of a man who committed suicide in 1927 after he lost his bar to a competitor in a poker game on the same island. The funniest and also saddest thing and the first noticeable error is the fact that the guy who lost and then committed suicide actually had the winning hand (a flush) and he lost to a straight held by the guy who beat him. If you are writing a movie or a story how difficult is it to do some basic research on poker-hand rankings on the Internet and at least get that right.

Fast forward to 2014 and a bunch of friends are going there to work as bartenders and waitresses as the island has basically become a party-goers paradise. One of the friends is trying to disprove the existence of the paranormal for his thesis by filming the lack of any paranormal activity. Predictably, they end up on the island after midnight and are soon being chased by something even though they were warned to leave as soon as their shift was done.

Overall this film has poor acting, a terrible story, bad effects and a weak music score. It doesn't make much sense and who ever wrote it couldn't even research something as basic or simple as poker hand rankings. As such it deserves no better than 1/10. Just awful.
