The Others

While navigating to a birthday party of their friend Mo, the motor pleasure yacht of Peter (Justin Baldoni), his girlfriend Liz (Jewel Staite), Ira (Marc Bacher), Lauren (Nikki Griffin) and Jake (Kellan Lutz) wrecks on a rock and the vessel sinks. The castaways reach a beach in the Antilles Islands, and release a distress call to the owner of the yacht through the radio. However, during the night, Peter vanishes leaving a track of blood; Jake threatens Ira and Lauren with a pistol and forces the couple to join Liz to seek out Peter in the woods. Sooner they find that the wild jungle has hostile inhabitants that hunt in pack and the survivors are the prey.

I saw the trailer of "The Forgotten Ones" a couple of days ago and I expected to see a good movie; unfortunately there are many flaws in the plot and I was disappointed. For example, there is no development of the five lead characters and it is impossible to feel any empathy for any of them: Peter is an arrogant wolf that cheats Elizabeth, who is a hysterical and impulsive blonde that does not think; Jake is an envious guy that does not respect his friend Ira, pointing a gun to him; Ira is a silly man and Lauren is a slut. There are stupid attitudes along the story and Liz is the winner: Liz crashes the radio that might help to rescue her; she decides to go into the woods despite Ira's advice to use the raft to seek help; later she goes to the nest of the creatures to get the raft back and row with a plastic paddle to the open sea. Peter has a wounded leg, but runs like a hell when the creature chases him. Jake falls from the top of a tree and has no injuries. My vote is five.
