SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I would like to say that this movie had some redeeming features but unfortunately cannot. The low budget is obvious, the props silly, the special effects unimpressive. Any of this could be overcome with a good storyline, strong acting, great characters or a gripping fast paced plot. Unfortunately the acting is poor, the characters 2 dimensional and unbelievable. The plot is predictable. The duologue is trite. Unfortunately there is no zero star vote, the only actual good point that I can give this movie is that it is over.Don't waste your time with this one.

I gave this an 8...not because the movie was scary or action filled or or even funny or had great effects.It was boring, slow, tiring, nothing exceptional except...a very unforeseen twist.Plot for the most part was on the slim side and well scares were pretty much non-existent.However, there was one thing that saved this from making me feel like I wasted more time than I should have and that was the very end.Maybe the writer just wanted to drag out something so tedious and mind numbing, or maybe it was done by accident...who knows...However the secret ending is what made me write this review by giving it credit.Usually an entire movie is wrapped up with some decent story telling to make me give it a high mark.This will probably bore most people - until the very last moments...which makes the long haul all worth it.

This movie surprised me. I thought I was in for a bore-fest, but it actually turned out to be quite nice.The story was not without flaws, but it was good enough to keep me interested, and had a fairly good, steady flow to it. There were times when the movie was halting though.The effects in "Dark Island" were also quite nice. Especially the CGIs for the animated black cloud. It looked really good, and moved in a very believable way. The make-up effects were good as well.As for the cast, well I was not familiar with any of the ones in the movie, but most of them did a good job, despite often having halting dialogue to work with.There weren't any scary moments or thrills throughout the movie, which kind of dragged the overall experience down a notch.

When the movie started, I kinda got a feeling like it's a bit of a remake of Ghost Ship, but 15 minutes later I had to change my mind about it... it kinda took the elements of the series Lost. Maybe the writers thought that if they took the elements from a hugely successful story, that they couldn't go wrong. Well... they were wrong, BIG TIME! People changing into a black killer smoke and for some reason they have to get off the island?! People trapped on the island and of course no way to get off of it? Doesn't it sound like Lost? Well... if you haven't seen lost, go buy the DVD pack instead of wasting your money on this movie. At least you'll enjoy hours watching a good story, instead of this screw up.
