Rating: 4/10 (26 September 2006)

Like most movies being produced by Hollywood, this one is a remake an older Wes Craven movie. Let me save you the time and put the verdict up front. Not worth your time. Not even worth a rental. 4/10.
I sat through the whole film and found nothing compelling about the film. It's your run of the mill people-get-stranded-and-attacked-by-vicious-{insert villain-type here}-and-only-a-few-survive film. Do any characters learn anything? Nope. Is there any growth or development of anything in the film? Nope. Do we care at the end? Nope. Is it at least enjoyable? Not when it's so predictable that every time you give the movie a chance to do something interesting, it doesn't.
So, you might be asking me why I gave it such a high score? Well, I watched the whole thing to the end and didn't ever really want to turn off the DVD player. Yes, I was bored. Yes, the movie made me drink to amuse myself. Yes, I rolled my eyes so much that they turned back into my skull. And yet, I didn't really feel so annoyed by the film that I had to shut it down. I guess as bad as it was, it just wasn't as bad as other films I've recently seen. That said, it still fails through and through. Gross? Maybe. Scary? Maybe. Intense? Maybe. Good? Nope.
