Trailer
A group of delinquent students are forced to become ruthless murderers as they are placed on a remote island and forced to hunt each other down.-
A stunningly original, if intensely graphic satire.
Gareth Murphy, Entertainment.ie -
Some will be uncomfortable or appalled, and the mix of humour and horror is uneasy, but this isn't a film you'll forget easily.
Kim Newman, Empire Magazine -
A stunningly proficient piece of action film-making, plunging us into a world of delirium and fear.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
Violent, brutal, bloody and a scary display of how humans can turn on each other to survive. An excellent film well worth watching (if you have the stomach)
When I read the synopsis of this film, I wasn't really expecting much, but this film is full of a lot of feeling and provides an amazing insight into human nature, and the lengths that we will go to just to survive. Totally took me by surprise to become one of the best films I have ever seen.
