The story locates itself in a nondescript, unknown location in the middle of nowhere - an island along a surreptitious coastline, one which makes it impossible for you to leave once the fateful course of events have led you to it. The narrative also wants to invoke questions about the inevitability of fate, humans' complete lack of control in the face of their bestial nature and the extent of violence the instinctive desire to survive can lead one to.
The film is further enhanced by remarkable visuals of nature at its intimidating best, special effects that exhibit potential, sophisticated camerawork and angles, and a sincere desire to invoke philosophical engagements with the ideas of existence. However, the accent of the actors comes across as distracting and the film could have benefited from a native accent instead for the dialogues.
In terms of the story, as matters come to a head for a man who has found himself stranded on the island with another strange man, the same place where perhaps his friend also went missing, what unexpected, gory events are in store for him? Will he eventually manage to conquer the several threats, both internal and external, that lie ahead on this treacherous path he has unwittingly found himself on?
