KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
jlthornb51 Director Jorg Ihle works from his own imaginative script and brings this exciting film to the screen with style and creativity. Lovely and gifted actress Jewel Staite gives a superb performance and effectively steals this movie from the rest of the cast without too much trouble. Staite lights up the screen each time she appears and when she isn't in a scene, the film suffers for it. The thrills come fast and furiously and a group of people on an island fight for their very lives against indescribable creatures of horror. While there is indeed blood shed in this motion picture, it is within reason and not excessive when it features such intense depictions of beasts devouring humans. Truly terrifying at times and as genre cinema, actually very, very satisfying.
Tim851 The best way to describe the movie is: redundant. Not a single frame of it is original. Everything has been done before and better. The group of victims, their dynamic, the setting, the monsters, the killings. Everything is just a rehash of a cliché of a stereotype.As far as horror films go, this is one of the lamest. The group of people is amongst the dullest, least developed bunch of morons without chemistry ever. The plot is something you and your friends come up with in 5 alcohol infested minutes when joking about bad horror plots. The setting is more like "Let's get paid to go to a Paradise Island!" The killings all follow the horror formula and are less gory than I've come to expect.All in all, this was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It wasn't as bad as classic early Boll, but that just made it worse. "The Tribe" is bad in a totally unfunny and unentertaining way, it's just plain and simple a waste of lifetime.
krotkruton Recipe for this movie: Start off with "The Descent" Replace cast of girls with one likable actress and others no one will care about Change setting to jungle Make the bat-like creatures into monkey-like creatures, but keep the blindness and echo-location because, you know, monkeys are like that too. End on a Hollywood happy noteIf it wasn't so similar to "The Descent" or had come out first, I probably would have like it more. It didn't have the grittiness, the terror, the bad ass lead character. On top of that, the plot is pretty obvious and your typical Hollywood formula. It just doesn't measure up. It's not a bad movie, it just doesn't have any of the qualities that made "The Descent" so great.
matches81 The plot summary on the back sounded somewhat interesting, so I rented this one tonight. I just finished watching it.Overall, there's just not much to say about it. Everything is slightly worse than mediocre. The movie falls into that ugly gap between being so bad it's entertaining and being an honestly good movie. The four "characters" are basically non-existent and there's close to no background about the "monsters". Speaking of those, they aren't even especially gruesome in any way, neither regarding their looks nor their practices. The film tries to get some tension going, but it just didn't work for me at all. The plot is as foreseeable as it could be right from the start, not a single surprise to be found and the ending is very, very... unsatisfying.
