Dark Island (2010 TV Movie)
3/10
BIRD ON A STICK
19 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The film opens on Dark Island as "test 48 did not go as planned." The island was used to test bio-fuel by Altracorp, which also has military applications, wink wink nudge nudge. A group of people are assembled to investigate the lost contact with the island.

The bio-agent is a CG black smoke which we see early and often. It really isn't scary. As it turns out everyone on the crew is not who they claim to be, which made the film on the inane side. A twist is fine, but please tie it into the beginning, drop a clue or something. Too bad they didn't make Tuck, the bar drunk, a secret company agent.

The dialogue is rather plain and the characters cycle from lame to too much testosterone. Poor use of eye candy. One girl unzips her suit, claims she is going to shower then the camera changes scenes. What was that all aboot? Is this film Canadian or what? Oh wait. It is Canadian. Okay I understand now.

Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.
