A young couple go to a remote and deserted coral island for a camping holiday, only to find that the island is inhabited by a ghost seeking retribution for a past outrage. Uninhabited started quite well at first and built a terrific mystery but once the twist started happening and the end came in the film lost it's track and just throwed one disappointing scene after the other. The main girl does her best, the main guy was kinda wooden tho. Overall a disappointing horror film that started interesting and went downhill after that. (2/10)
... View MoreSeriously the acting in this movie is wooden and below average the story-line is predictable and almost like it was written by a 10 year old. The stonefish scene was a somewhat "over the top" as they aren't that easy to spot (Experience speaking here)and the fish looked as though it had been pulled out of a science lab preserving jar or borrowed from a Simpsons episode (minus the extra eye) The guy should have known it was a stonefish as everyone in Queensland is taught about them and these two morons should have been wearing some sort of protective footwear as the tourist operators would have drummed that into their shared brain.The scenery though of Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef is stunning and it shows the world the beautiful Aussie state of Queensland - pity it's only shown in a $2.00 movie though. To me it deserves a 1 but I gave it a 2 because of the scenery. You'll either enjoy this tripe or detest it - give it 20 minutes and then switch off or watch till the end for the huge anticlimax.Try hard not to fall asleep and if you need a cure for constipation then this is the movie for you...
... View MoreAfter watching the more highly-produced, space horror flick "Europa Report", I wasn't expecting much from this flick. But these Aussies know how to make B-movies at least better than Americans or Brits. "Wish You Were Here" was also another slow-burn Aussie flick.This film is about a young couple who camp out on an uninhabited island for 10 days. Or so they think it's uninhabited. Unlike "Europa Report", this film throws us a creepy bone every now and then to keep us interested, and the run-in with the Greek fisherman was well-placed and suspenseful actually. The acting by the male was NOT bad; I don't know what these others are talking about. The couple did make some bad choices, but that's the writer's fault, and the choices weren't beyond the pale, since they DID believe some kids were pranking them (after all, if there was something more sinister going on, they would have done it at night).The resolution/wrap-up is a little confusing, and some moments don't work as well as others, but all-in-all, a fairly entertaining and short movie. There are NO cringeworthy moments that I could see.
... View More'Just wanted to give a shout down to the Australian film Uninhabited (2010). I just saw it on Netflix....(Sigh)...it appears that the anti-male bigotry of Second Wave Feminism lurks the college halls of Aussie film theorists. at least, it's beginning to die in The States.In Unihabited, all men are bad and all women are the righteous avengers who kill them. Even good men in the film die. The story's simplistic treatment of rape trivializes the crime to the point where I can't name who should be more angry after watching this crap, men or women.Another piece of trash on the level of Hard Candy (2005).
