I really wanted to like this film and even now I've finished I really think I'm trying to make out it was better than it was. The acting of the four leads is fine, I feel they make do with what they had. The acting of the locals on the island was terrible. And the CGI is hilariously bad. I assume there wasn't much budget.
This in itself can be forgiven if the movie was good but it was just weirdly paced. The girls announced they were going on a three day canoe adventure, yet the film takes place all in the first few hours. It does not seem they have ANY supplies with them, and no plans for if something were to have gone wrong.
I also have no idea where the movie was meant to be set (although filmed in Australia I assume we were on a pacific island somewhere?), and why did Nic keep having flashbacks to seeing her sister murdered... you weren't there when it happened?!
In a word, underwhelming.
