Storyline

For their honeymoon, newlyweds Cliff and Cydney head to the tropical islands of Hawaii. While journeying through the paradisaical countryside the couple encounters Kale and Cleo, two disgruntled hitchhikers and Nick and Gina, two wild but well-meaning spirits who help guide them through the lush jungles. The picturesque waterfalls and scenic mountainsides quickly give way to terror when Cliff and Cydney learn of a grisly murder that occurred nearby and realize that they're being followed by chance acquaintances that suspiciously fit the description of the killers. Written by The Massie Twins

Goofs

The headrests in Cliff and Cydney's Jeep are missing during interior shots then reappear during long exterior shots. Removing headrests from seats has been a common practice in movies for decades in order to provide more visibility while filming inside automobiles. This can usually be spotted by the two mounting holes at the top of the seat which are visible once the headrests have been removed. See more »

5 November 2020 | by ma-cortesSee all my reviews

For their honeymoon , newlyweds , Steve Zahn, Milla Jovovich, travel to Hawaii , along the way, while journeying across the marvellous countryside they meet other two strange and suspicious couples , the hippy-alike : Chris Hemsworth-Marley Shelton and the adventurous , Timothy Olyphant-Kiele Sanchez . Everyone needs a place to escape . 6 Strangers , 2 killers , no getting away . Let the games begin . Go home, there are some places tourists should never go. The Christmas, Summer is really over. You'll be dying to stay. The Holiday is over.

Thriling and suspense film with plenty of intrigue , mystery , chills , noisy action, violence and wonderful, picturesque outdoors from Hawaii . The main premise results to be to guess which of three couples Steve Zhan-Milla Jovovich, Timothy Olyphant-Kiele Sanchez , Chris Hemsworth-Marley Shelton are the cruel murderers who have committed grisly killings . That's why it turns out to be a peculiar whodunit to find out who's the killer. The film is rated R for violence, crude killings and profanity. The youthful cast are pretty good , giving decent playing, such as main cast : Steve Zahn , Milla Jovovich , Timothy Olyphant who was born in Honolulu Hawaii and Kiele Sanchez . While support cast : Chris Hemsworth , Marley Shelton, Anthony Ruivivar , Dale Dickey, Holt McCallany give brief but acceptable interpretations .

It contains a sunny, paradisaical and brilliantly colorful cinematograhy by Mark Plummer shot on location in Kauai , Hawaii, Jamaica and Puerto Rico, including sightseeing as spectacular mountainsides, impressive cliffs, natural reserves and scenic waterfalls . As well as moving and stirring musical score by Boris Elkis. The motion picture was well written and directed by David Twohy . David is an expert writer and director of splendid Sci-Fi movies . As his first movie was the original Timescape with Jeff Daniels and after that, he made The Arrival with Charlie Sheen. He also wrote Critters 2, Warlock , Warlock : Armageddon, Waterworld , Terminal Velocity, Lieutenant O'Neal, The Fugitive and a script for Alien 3 , but it was rejected . David subsequently made Below , the successful Pitch Black with Vin Diesel , its sequels The Chonicles of Riddick and Riddick . Rating 6. 5/10 . The movie will appeal to fans of the known and popular stars , most of them , nowadays , successful at boxoffice .
