I got to check this film out to a packed audience at Toronto After Dark Film Festival earlier this week. Full disclosure - one of the producers of this film is someone I'm working with on some upcoming projects, however I would never write an ass-kissy review just because of it.
The premise of this film is that a young woman goes to camp to be a new counsellor - and part of her initiation is spending 2 nights on a nearby island. And nerve wracking shit ensues.
What I liked about this as a thriller is it felt largely credible. There's one moment where I has to suspend disbelief a bit, but even that I might just be being nit-picky. Annie Clark is delightful as the lead - she's doesn't play it stupid or naive - she plays it like a smart young woman caught up in a really shitty situation.
It's the kind of film that keeps you guessing, keeps you on edge, and entertains at the same time. That and it's just so goddamn pretty to look at - they really took great care in the visual. It's being released in Canada in the near future - so pretty please check it out - especially if you like film that keep you on your toes!
