Really enjoyable and entertaining offering

After being stranded on a strange island, a group of shipwrecked friends finds the area home to a tribe of savage human-like beings and forces them into an extreme mode of survival to get off the island alive.

Overall this one was quite an entertaining effort without too much really wrong here. The biggest plus with this one is the fact that there's a rather engrossing mystery that develops here early on about what exactly's on the island with them and how to defend themselves, which is quite enjoyable for how it goes about this. The concept of being on an uncharted island is good enough to start this off with, but then comes the idea of putting the creatures on there which makes for quite an enjoyable time building up to them by the early ways this goes about it. From the off-screen grunting and growling to the scenes of them stealing their shipwrecked items and stalking them along the way to the first major encounter of them capturing several members of the group in ingenious rope-traps that scores quite well as an action sequence yet never once gives away the creatures and their design which is quite impressive. That's reserved for the first main confrontation in the caves where the remaining members of the expedition are kept to be tortured and killed within the darkened caves which is quite a feat to be done so late in the film but also with the rather chilling sequence it's done with as well making for a great time here as it rolls through the final half with a lot of impressive and enjoyable moments. The battle in the underground tunnels, the chase through the jungle leading to the revelation in the clearing and the final encounter at the enclosed circle of bamboo trees all combine into a great series of scenes that shows off the creatures quite well, gets plenty of action and suspense into this and even throws in some decent amount of gore to really work quite nicely. These do manage to hold off the few small flaws here, namely the fact that the film's not that interesting when focusing on the human cast as they're stories aren't that engaging. The purpose of inviting the ex and her new romantic interest seems only to generate tension within the group as there's little point in inviting them along on a trip like this in the first place, even inviting along the friend who's romantically unattached and going to be around his most recent ex-girlfriend makes his involvement even more questionable, and there's little about their interactions early on that comes off all that enjoyable. The other small flaw is the rather lackadaisical manner this treats the group who are knowingly stuck on the island and rarely react with any sense of urgency or intensity to get off considering the situation present and something obviously there with them. Otherwise, this one was pretty enjoyable.

Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

Dumb film. A machete left behind by one of the victims from a previous generation stays intact, stays sharp n not a sign of rust inspite of humidity n rain.

I first saw this more than a decade back on a dvd which I own. Got enticed into buyin the dvd cos of the trailer n the concept of creatures on an uninhabited island. Revisited it recently but fast forwarded most boring scenes. The creatures are not scary, the killings are offscreen n the most dumbest thing is the ending.

Five pals are marooned on a secluded n uninhabited island after their boat crashes. They are hunted n killed off by creatures which do not just kill for territorial issues but rather for their savage nature. One of the pal is able to find out the weakness about the creatures n uses it to her advantage.

Basically a poor n cheap version of Descent, Predator, Wolfman, etc. The faces of the creatures n their bodies r ripped off from Ford Coppola's Dracula (the beast in the garden). The lead babe resembles a slimmer version of Rosamund Pike.

The film has three different titles, so be careful n try avoiding this film to save ur time. The names r, After Dusk They Come, The Tribe n The Forgotten Ones.

I have the dvd of its remake too. Surprisingly, the producers remade it in just one year with a new director, script, and cast, under the title The Lost Tribe. Will revisit the movie n post a review.

Better off forgotten

The plot summary on the back sounded somewhat interesting, so I rented this one tonight. I just finished watching it.

Overall, there's just not much to say about it. Everything is slightly worse than mediocre. The movie falls into that ugly gap between being so bad it's entertaining and being an honestly good movie. The four "characters" are basically non-existent and there's close to no background about the "monsters". Speaking of those, they aren't even especially gruesome in any way, neither regarding their looks nor their practices. The film tries to get some tension going, but it just didn't work for me at all. The plot is as foreseeable as it could be right from the start, not a single surprise to be found and the ending is very, very... unsatisfying.
