This movie is horrible. From the bad acting to the amateurish special effects to a lack of continuity, it has it all. The only redeeming quality in the production was the make up on the creatures. I'm actually disappointed that IMDb does not have a way to rate a movie lower than "1". There was a complete lack of story and the addition of Lance Henrickson only teased me to rent it. Thank God it was a Redbox movie and I'm only out $1 USD. Some of the things that stood out in this movie as just being bad, poorly thought out or ridiculous?
Lack of HD? Perhaps its how the director intended it to be, but the movie appears to have been shot in SD rather than HD.
When they are on the beach after washing up after sinking and they have the radio and are trying to call for help. Last time I checked the great big 12v marine battery that powers that system would not have washed up either, but yet, there it was! No antenna? How about a portable hand-held radio in the sequel?
Again on the beach, you see them standing close to the edge of the islands vegetation and then the very next scene is a faraway shot of them all standing on the beach and the vegetation is nowhere near them.
Obvious "Predator" comparisons can be made via some of the effects and some of the actions of the actors such as the creatures vision, sliding down the mud trail etc.
Worst scene? When the female lead finds her boyfriend in the cave and realizes that he cannot be saved, decides to smother him while kissing him goodbye. We actually were howling with laughter at that.
Again, please do not ever rent this. It took me two days to get the stink out of my DVD player.
score 1/10
