This is a very odd, sort of sick movie. A group of teenagers ends up on an island, run be a psychopathic hunter who is bored with animals and hunts humans instead. Since "The Most Dangerous Game," this tired old plot has played out many times. Even the original "Star Trek" did an episode like this. That said, how do you make it work. First of all, we have all these goons running around the island, working for the boss. They probably would have had numerous chances to bump the jerk off at some point. They are obviously violent men. Instead, they do his bidding. Maybe they aren't so smart. They giggle and drool most of the time. Meanwhile, even after the plot is hatched by the big guy, the people to be hunted are allowed to get together and figure out what they are going to do. There are also people being skinned in the basement and mounted in some kind of trophy cave. There is a woman floating in big aquarium. What is the motivation for this guy. Even General Zaroff in the original had a code he lived by. He was willing to face the possibility that he would be killed. In this one, one of the hunted is given a gun, but when he tries to use it, there is no firing pin. It stumbles on to its idiotic conclusion (suddenly one of the guys can't be stopped by bullets; where did that come from). It doesn't work under any sort of scrutiny.
