Lost Colony: The Legend of Roanoke Audience Reviews

FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
christien2 I have to agree with the person who said this film is really bad, but strangely watchable. My first impressions were that the characters were far too good-looking/beautiful. The women had flawless complexions complete with mascara and frosted lip-gloss. The costumes far too glamorous for a wilderness colony. Their hair looked like an ad for Laboratoire Garnier. Also, one of my but-bears is using a doll in scenes where there should be a real baby. I hate that! The natives didn't look anything like American Indians (grey eyes??) and how could they speak such perfect English? And how did the main character know Old Norse? I am a stickler for continuity in any movie, good or bad, and this one didn't quite hit the mark. The scary bits weren't as scary as they could have been, and there is no real suspense or feeling of terror amongst the settlers. But I guess they stuck pretty much to the legend/story of Roanoke. That is about the only good thing going for this low-budget TV movie. But I did watch it to the end, hoping against hope it was going to improve. Ah well... I've seen worse.
pansexuality Ask yourself how unbelievably terrified you would be if you were being attacked by Wraiths (if they existed) and then ask yourself if a single actor in this movie portrayed that level of terror.Ask yourself why the casting director could not find a single native American to play native Americans.Ask yourself what dimwit would be more interested in fighting something as terrible as wraiths to "save humanity" instead of simply moving away.Ask yourself why a simple colonist has knowledge of ancient Norse language and legends.Ask yourself how a simple colonist is able to sneak into a native American camp, and into the tent of their chief without being intercepted.Ask yourself why you watched this stinker.
nwestwood1 My god this film is bad, however it is strangely watchable. Especially if you have a DVD player in your room, you're ill on a weekday or pulling a sickie. I like watching bad ghost films on a cold miserable day. This wasn't scary apart from watching the wasted potential of Adrian Paul's career ! The ghosts in questions resemble something out of a rundown ghost train attraction or a half baked equalivent of the ghost army from 'Return Of The King'. Still it's watchable as it does have some very mild suspense. For the duriation of the film I would recommend some hot soup and a toasted cheese sandwich, or 1 low volume alcoholic beer- depends on your mood!
shannonphoenix I wouldn't be so hard on this film. No one has ever been able to give a good account of what really happened, and the whole mystery is there to speculate and to guess and write stories about. Sci-fi channel has had it's good stories and dull ones, and this is not at good as I was hoping for, but I don't believe it was half bad. It could have been better if they had a seasoned director and producer who is use to doing mystery/suspense thrillers, but I don't think that was the case. I wonder what George Lucas could have done with it or someone with a little more imagination. Besides, think about it, we didn't see the entire movie, we saw the edited version and I willing to bet that it would have been a lot more scarier and would have made a lot more reasonable sense if those parts were in there. Sometimes I wish when they came out with movies on DVD, they would give you a choice of seeing the extended version with the deleted scenes or the theater movie.As for the acting, the movie, just like X-men III, it seemed very rushed and I am sure they were times constraints. However, actors do a better job when they have more time to get into the part and make some suggestions of their own and I am not sure that happened. I think they were just given the part and told to "do it!" which also does not make for a good movie. But, you can't blame the actors who are given a script that they can only do so much with and I think the actors did the best they could and were not able to live up to their talent.I also think if just a little bit more money was put into it, it would have been a better picture. I hate it when things "happen" and there is a reason why they may be happening, but no one tells or says what it is. You see that in a lot of horror movies. People want to know background history, legends, etc. I thought a halfway descent effort was made for this. But like Eddie Murphy says, "Why do white people stay in a place that is haunted?" I am white but I would have gotten the HE** out.The whole incident is a bit haunting itself. It is very hard to really know how many Native American nations and tribes there really were. Many died out before the settlers came and some were dying off about that time. But, the word on the tree, "Croatian" (SP) does seem familiar and I do believe it was the name of a Native American tribe that may have befriended the colonist and took them into their tribe and that word was put on their so that the coming settlers would know where to find them. But, instead, the just left it a mystery and may have wanted to on purpose because they may have wanted a plan or something to scare people about in the event of any indigenous people in the area they wanted to get rid of. I mean, look what happened after wards? I believe that those colonist did not want to return and stayed with the Croatians since a lot of tribes were nomadic during the seasons. That is just a theory with no scientific backing. But it beats thinking that they were slaughtered because the Native Americans were blamed for a lot of things they didn't do and we nearly committed Genocide.
