Yeah, well. No. Not worth the watch. Sorry I did. Masonic Lodge type secrecy/murder. Whatever.
... View MoreDr. Tora Hamilton (Radha Mitchell) has another miscarriage while working in a hospital. Her rich husband Duncan (Rupert Graves) takes her away to live on an island where she can work again. When her cow dies, she climbs into a small steam shovel and excavates a deep hole only to discover a dead body. The body was apparently killed due to a ritual and she decides to conduct her own investigation getting people killed around her.Having seen two versions of "The Wicker Man" and "Harvest Home" with Bette Davis, I found this film about local cult rituals to be a let down. Who buries a cow? Aren't they either butchered or incinerated? The film is more of a drama/thriller than horror. The quality was on par with a made-for-TV film, in fact I thought this was a TV movie.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

It's never super slow either, though from the beginning I prepared myself for some longer more slower parts but that definitely didn't happen. I love this lead actress! I truly believe she is intelligent and a Doctor whereas many actresses who play Doctors do not convince me and then I find myself distracted and unable to focus on the story. I could guess what was going on but I still wanted to keep watching because I was connected to the main characters. Satisfying ending with this film. It is worth the rental for sure. Afterward I felt like I'd been in Scotland/Ireland all weekend.
... View MoreFairly run of the mill thriller. A woman moves to a remote Scottish island and stumbles onto a buried body. And so the 'mystery' begins....Nothing special here but still enjoyable. Overall the story is quite standard and predictable. Even the twists and turns can be seen a mile away. Don't expect to be wowed or anything.The only thing that lifts this movie in to something worth seeing is the lead actress (Radha Mitchell). Every time Radha was on screen she stole the show in this otherwise bland experience. Her convincing performance makes this movie. Overall a good movie for a rainy day. Just don't expect Oscar material.
