Don't even bother......This is truly amongst the worst movies I've seen. It starts off okay but quickly deteriorates into a totally unbelievable plot & set of circumstances. I cannot believe that actors in the calibre of Sam Neill & Rachel Blake would even lend their talents to this utter nonsense !!!

worst movie I've seen in ages... nearly stopped it 1/2 way thru - wished I had have.... starts badly and gets worse... dont bother as you'll never get that 1-1/2 hrs back.

This is a clever and well made movie, all the things it does say and all the things it leaves unsaid make it intriguing. Well acted Sam Neill and Rachael Blake a world class N.Z. movie.

Sam Neill does spooky very well - he's always great to watch.

I enjoyed this one. Great acting from Rachael Blake who discovers strength she did not know she had. Fantastic wild NZ west coast scenery. Very suspenseful and tension throughout.

a very odd story but the excellent acting makes it believable and the wild, New Zealand coastline location is a perfect setting.

A strange but well acted and unpredictable movie.

A bit slow, you have to be in the right mood, but good if you want a dark, psycological thriller.

Creepy story, set against magnificent rugged backgrounds. Excellent acting. Held us spellbound.

A strange movie but good to see Sam Neill and Rachel Blake on the screen. Not for everyone.
Jennifer Gibson
says
Certainly an unusual movie. Different.
Kate Bartlett

Garry Harris

This is a weird one. If you're into atmospheric, psychological dramas, try this one. If you're into Hollywood smultz, give this one a miss.
Laraine Jeffs
says
Not my type of show where someone is kidnapped and some violence. Did not finish watching it.

A movie that isnt what you expect it to be. Has some twists and turns and a few moments of suspense. Overall intersting and quite different

Excellent but strange movie.
nmlane
says
This movie starts with a really interesting idea of dating/kidnapping but nothing happens - the story doesn't follow ANY line at all. Don't bother, you will simply come away confused and unsatisfied.
