It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The acting in this movie is really good.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

As with any mid budget, British horror film it is contractually obliged to star either Sean Pertwee or Danny Dyer; here we have Sean taking some young offenders out on a weekend to get to grips with nature on a remote Scottish island. Things are bound to go wrong.Now I should point out this is a small film; and it is happy to be what it is. There is no explosions, fireworks, monsters, statements on the human conditions or clever twists. It is a very simple thriller with the rough edges being obscured by British grit.When I saw the cover I expected this to be gruelling and hard hitting. It really isn't, I would happily watch this with my dad.There is some solid acting, some of the characters are interesting and because it plays low there is real tension as the characters try to escape.Most importantly it doesn't outstay its welcome. There is only so long you can watch someone run around a forest scared before you lose interest. The director got it spot on time wise.Good solid, kick about the park, horror flick.

I saw this movie once before, a few years ago and I really enjoyed, I was so shocked when I saw this movie for 50p in a shop! This movie as some of the most vile nasty humans, who are criminals and very unlikable assholes, so when they do die, you don't really care. You just want them to die in the most gruesome way possible.This movie was really clever with the whole camouflage scenes, I found those scenes a little creepy , as you have no idea where he is.Some of the death scenes were really well made, it's amazing how they did that, very gory and gruesome when the dogs attack and the other Booby traps were really good as well.The twist near the end was seeable as it was not a really a shock at all and I found the ending a bit silly, it's didn't really fit in with the plot the movie at all.The acting was really good, the deaths were gruesome and nasty evil bloodhound teens had what was coming for them.(Yes I was rooting for nasty dogs (Yes I am dog lover)even these dogs seem nice then humans. 7 out of 10

This movie was not all bad but it really was not what I expected. I was hoping more for a lord of the flies/battle royal kind of feel to it and what I got was entirely different. The acting was good and there was some pretty intense moments though.This movie is about a group of boys in juvenile hall who tease another inmate until the point of suicide. So as the punishment the warden sends them off with a guard to live on an deserted island. As the boys are walking around they soon discover they are not alone.Overall it was not that bad of a movie I mean a lot of people seem to like it but it really didn't do it for me. I wish they had went another way with it and if they had I think it would have turned out much better.

It must be said, that if you can take a few good young up and coming actors, and pair them with a couple of solid older pro's, stick em' in a forest and chase them around, nine out of ten times you're going to get a pretty decent slasher. By no means is this film a seminal piece of work for anyone involved, and it barely registers on the radar in terms of top examples of the genre, but that said, this is an enjoyable ride. The young actors do well to flesh out there characters, given the limited information we are given. These kids are all borstal rejects who have committed violent crimes and as such do well to get us to care about their fates. Toby Kebbell shows us the early promise which he is now beginning to fulfill, and Sean Pertwee is always good value but it's Steven Wight who steals the show with his nastiest of the nasties Steve. Some of the other actors fare less well, Ben Mckay is whiny and annoying, more so than the part requires and Stephen Don is horribly miscast as the father of one of the young boys at the borstal. For a low budget British effort though, this is fun and well executed, and should be a platform for everyone to do better work.
