Quotes

[last lines]
Jenn: [leaving a note] For a lot of my life, I've struggled with being believed. The truth doesn't always come with a receipt. Sometimes all we have is our word.
Jenn: There's no way for me to show you the things that I can tell you. That there's a monster here taller than any man I've ever seen, twice as fast in water as it is on land, and it bleeds black blood. For a week I've run from it and hid from it, but not anymore.

Popcorn decent, but I don't get the title....Sweetheart?

So I watched this film this morning around 2:00 am, because sometimes I need something to watch to put me to sleep and I figured this would do the trick. But I kid you not when I say twenty mins in, It felt like I had just drank a fresh cup of coffee. Wow, what a decent surprise. This woke me up and kept me focused to the very end. Great stranded island monster flick. I was also pleased to see a role like this played by an African-american, Kiersey Clemons who did a great job in a lead part carrying the entire film. This was definitely popcorn decent, but I really don't get the title. Anyway, highly recommended weekend fun.
