An effectively creepy story set on a deserted paradise Island. A young couple take a ten day trip to an uninhabited island off the coast of Australia. After a short time they wonder if they are actually alone.
A good film that I would recommend. But don't expect a blood and guts hooror film, it's more of a chiller.

I had my eye on Uninhabited a while before its release, hoping that I'd found a little gem of direct to DVD survival horror. What I got was quite the opposite.
A Marine Biology student and her boyfriend travel to a remote coral island on the Great Barrier Reef for a romantic sun-sea-sex holiday. Supposedly deserted, the island would seem like the perfect paradise. However, when our couple find mysterious footsteps in the sand near their camp, it becomes chillingly apparent that they're not alone.
You'd think that Uninhabited has the perfect setup for at least an original plot and some effective scares, though it fails quite dramatically on almost every level, becoming a painfully predictable and tiresome struggle to reach the final frames. Chemistry between the couple is completely non-existent and the acting, particularly from the male lead, is noticeably bad. I found myself glancing anxiously towards the clock around the half way mark, which is never a good sign.
That said, the film does take good advantage of its gorgeous, eerie locations and is reasonably well shot, considering the fairly low budget. Hence two stars instead of one.
Ultimately, Uninhabited is a disappointing missed opportunity. What could've been a fantastic, innovative and surprising survival horror is instead a forgettable waste of time and money. See it if you have 'must see every single direct to DVD thriller ever made' syndrome, like myself, otherwise I'd leave it well alone.

If you liked Paradise Lost you will probably like this. It was a decent little ghost story and had one of those 'Inspired by actual events' slapped on at the beginning. Which I thought here we go another Wolf Creek 'lets make everyone think its real'.
But after watching the special features at the end it appears it is based on the writer/directors partial experience from 1974! I think this actually added a little creepines to the film expecially as they showed you photographs of the actual hut & grave. Therefore my 6 out of ten rose to 7 out of ten.
Its ok for something to watch, but dont come here looking for gore, violence or jump out of your seat scares... there aint none!
