Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Clevercell Very disappointing...

GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

asinyne For a movie made for a million bucks, it definitely delivers. It is a tiny bit slow paced but that seems to work for it. Considering the budget its very well produced and has several very lovely young ladies in prominent roles. Its very violent and often gross but that is to be expected in what is basically a horror movie. The plot is a bit thin and the liberal philosophy is lame but the story does make sense and is fairly easy to follow for all that. Most of the cast are unknowns but they have some acting ability and I know I'm not alone in being a sucker for mysterious island adventures. Ah yes, I recall fondly The Most Dangerous Game and many others. Ignore the low rating you see here, if you like lower budget flicks that get a lot of mileage out of their investment...you will probably dig this one, a good looking film with lots of action and suspense.

True Metal First off, with the exception of a few goofs, this movie is actually made very well. Camera work is excellent, the settings are great, sound is original. And the acting is far better than the rest of the reviewers are giving credit for. There are movies with higher ratings with worse acting.That being said, now I can inform you that the script is total crap. They obviously had no money left for a script writer. It is a blatant rip-off of Predator (as well as some other films).-The creatures are tribal.-They use the trees to get around.-Shot of a python in a tree? Check!.-One character startles another with deep whispered "Over Here!"-When we are shown what creatures see, we hear heartbeats and the vision is a chroma warp black and white version of the Predator's vision.-Instead of mud, grape juice smeared on you will keep from being seen by the creatures.-The leader unmask himself for the final battle. (I was expecting her to say "You're one ugly mofo.")-In the climax of the battle, she gets picked up by the neck and they gleam each other eye to eye.This movie also steals ideas from "Lost" and "The Descent". The creatures faces were stolen from Brahm Stoker's Dracula (Francis Ford Coppola) and jump around like "Planet Of The Apes" .On top of all this, the subtle motive for the human antagonist is a plot by the Christian agenda to cover up evolution. This is completely unnecessary and would have only worked 20 years ago before evolution was a proved fact. When you make a science fiction movie that includes future events as the catalyst, it's probably best to do your homework and make sure those events are still science "fiction".

steveinconverse This movie is horrible. From the bad acting to the amateurish special effects to a lack of continuity, it has it all. The only redeeming quality in the production was the make up on the creatures. I'm actually disappointed that IMDb does not have a way to rate a movie lower than "1". There was a complete lack of story and the addition of Lance Henrickson only teased me to rent it. Thank God it was a Redbox movie and I'm only out $1 USD. Some of the things that stood out in this movie as just being bad, poorly thought out or ridiculous? Lack of HD? Perhaps its how the director intended it to be, but the movie appears to have been shot in SD rather than HD.When they are on the beach after washing up after sinking and they have the radio and are trying to call for help. Last time I checked the great big 12v marine battery that powers that system would not have washed up either, but yet, there it was! No antenna? How about a portable hand-held radio in the sequel? Again on the beach, you see them standing close to the edge of the islands vegetation and then the very next scene is a faraway shot of them all standing on the beach and the vegetation is nowhere near them.Obvious "Predator" comparisons can be made via some of the effects and some of the actions of the actors such as the creatures vision, sliding down the mud trail etc.Worst scene? When the female lead finds her boyfriend in the cave and realizes that he cannot be saved, decides to smother him while kissing him goodbye. We actually were howling with laughter at that.Again, please do not ever rent this. It took me two days to get the stink out of my DVD player.

Jan Strydom I stumble upon this film at my local rental shop just the other day, the main reason I decided to rent it was because Lance Henriksen was in it and when I popped it into my DVD player I also saw that it was directed by Roel Reine, who also directed films like PISTOL WHIPPED, BLACK OPS, THE MARINE 2 as well as the yet to be released DRIFTER and he's currently working on DEATH RACE 2.When I finished watching this film I was actually impressed with it, unlike other films in its genre it has a well written script featuring more than the usual character development, it has an element of mystery because it doesn't reveal right away what's chasing the shipwrecked survivors stuck on the island and it maintains a subtle pace.Also while I was busy watching this film it also reminded me of another film with an almost similar plot called SURVIVING EVIL, although the difference between the two is the creatures that inhabit the island where our protagonists get chased but in comparison THE LOST TRIBE (a.k.a PRIMAL) is the better film and it could use a broader audience.Overall, I rank this film as the best creature feature I've seen in a long time and also the other film SURVIVING EVIL is also worth checking out if you are the curious kind but THE LOST TRIBE is my favorite of the two.
