Review of Wilderness (2006) by Cody M — 12 Mar 2009
Largely nonsensical reworking of Friday the 13th/Lord Of The Flies, peopled with a completely unsympathetic and hateful cast of characters.
Why a group of criminals (including sociopaths and sex offenders) get a trip to an abandoned island with just one guard beggars belief; that they meet up with a group of unconcerned female campers really is pushing it.
From then on, this is just a join-the-dots succession of watching characters you dislike getting killed off, and killing each other. It barely matters that it's pacy, and well-shot, and with some impressively gruesome effects.
