A bit of a stinker, unfortunately I agree with the majority of the low ratings for this film. It's supposed to be your modern day slasher/horror film with pretty young people and mean bad guys who are stalking them at every turn. The theory is that watermen - or fishermen really - are taking groups of tourists for a bit of an adventure, unbeknown the tourists it's all a big trap to get them and make bait out of them to attract the big fish. A series of events occur culminating in the tourists being trapped on an island only to fight for their lives from the seamlessly indestructible fisherman. I won't lie, I was drawn into watching this being a fan of Jason Mewes in other roles/films. Unfortunately the Jason Mewes in other films is exactly what appears in this films, it's practically like 'Jay and Silent Bob' had a disagreement and an angry 'Jay' has decided to work to go on a holiday to a horror film - that's how much acting variation you will see, none. The rest of the cast are equally hammy and woody in parts which made the film drag along slowly. Worse than the acting was the stupid story which was riddled with plot holes and mistakes. It's obviously filmed on a low budget but it takes itself too seriously and tries to be "The Hills have Eyes" or "Texas Chainsaw massacre" on water - at this it fails dramatically. Because the film takes itself too seriously despite a bad story there isn't even ironic amusement in this. I'm afraid this is one of those films which I have watched once and will try to avoid henceforth, it's a "I'm glad I watched it so you don't have to" kind of film. Because I'm feeling generous I'll award a 3 star, if I had been writing this review straight after watching the film I may have been angry and only awarded a 2 so Matt L. Lockhart (director), you got off lucky today.

A few wealthy young charges an expensive yacht into the ocean. But the motor disruption and they remain in the middle of the sea. They see a boat on the horizon. They say to each other:"WE'RE SAVED". But they do not know there is one thing. Who knows? Those guys are good or bad? They are ignorant themselves. And they gave them drink water. At first, These people looked good. But they were shitty. Their cruises turns into a nightmare. I think, Movie's director who Matt is very successful. I think when watching horror movie or If you will watching horror movie,most importantly "stretched". Because you're for watching to be afraid and stretched.Have fun! by Ayça Kartal

Having seen the trailer for this film, I thought it looked quite promising, I was pulled in by the fact that Jason Mewes was in it and am a fan of the Jay and Silent Bob films. What a disappointment throughout, hammy acting and a poorly thought out story line make for a long drawn out waste of an hour and a half. Jason Mewes tries his best to revive the Jay character that he is famous for, but fails dismally. It is almost embarrassing to watch as he does it. I wouldn't even recommend this film as a last resort, pure drivel! The only thing I found mildly enjoying was finding the story flaws, of which there are many.

Awesome flick from first time director. Shooting on location in parts of his hometown. Mr. Lockhart does they area proud and any boost to the local economy is always welcome. Keep at it. Would love to see more of his work. And other reviewers who complain it is like other horror movies, are you serious. All movies are derivative of each other. Get a grip and enjoy something for once. Internet junkies who harp on other creativity need to sit back and relax. Enjoy a film for films sake. No one responds to your constant complaining. Give it a shot.Does what every horror film director should and has a cameo. Way to go Hitchcock. Love Jay Mewes would see him in anything.
