For their honeymoon, newlyweds Cliff and Cydney head to the tropical islands of Hawaii. While journeying through the paradisaical countryside the couple encounters Kale and Cleo, two disgruntled hitchhikers and Nick and Gina, two wild but well-meaning spirits who help guide them through the lush jungles. The picturesque waterfalls and scenic mountainsides quickly give way to terror when Cliff and Cydney learn of a grisly murder that occurred nearby and realize that they're being followed by chance acquaintances that suspiciously fit the description of the killers.

Reviews

johnmonter Honestly this was the worst movie I ever ever seen. The story doesn't make any sense. A couple scared of killers all the time, and then it comes - they are the killers themselves. It doesn't make any sense and I still can't believe that such a story ended as a movie.

guil fisher Not sure where to start and what exactly is my negative thoughts as there are so many. First THE SCRIPT; was boring and taking too long to get somewhere. It was obvious to me that the writer wanted to mislead you from the beginning. There was a time when I had to fast forward the movie just to keep it moving. Second THE CAST; not too good. I got real tired of looking at Zahn's silly looking face all the time like he just discovered he was doing a serious movie. He annoyed me. His partner (wifey) was a miss match. They definitely did not belong together. I mean chemistry-wise. Then there were the other two couples both just beefcake ad cheesecake actors to keep your interest perhaps. Finally THE MOVIE ITSELF; to this viewer said very little and I felt a waste of my time as I kept fast forwarding to get through it all. Therefore my reaction was a waste of my time and would rather watch the news.

gtylerpayne This movie definitely works. It's paced well and keeps you guessing. When the twist comes, I was genuinely surprised. It's a pretty simple movie that works because of a well thought out story and a solid script. With those things in order, a movie always has a good chance of working.The other elements of the movie were pretty solid over all but nothing special. I wasn't impressed with the cinematography. It's okay, but could have been better and much more creative and artistic, especially in such a scenic location.The acting was okay, and the cast mostly worked, but I could see other actors bringing another dimension to the roles.My main complain, and this is mostly a directorial thing, but also editing and cinematography, was after the big reveal, it cut to flashbacks that explain the story, which went on way too long in my opinion. It gets the job done, but I could see it done in a cooler way.Overall, it's a movie that works, but with a more creative director, it could have been really great. Instead, the director got the job done effectively, but didn't really stylize it in a notable way.Definitely a movie worth watching. You probably don't need to own it or watch it over and over, but the first viewing will make for good solid entertainment.

clauzy82 For a film riddled with flaws somehow it still holds up as a pretty good and entertaining movie. The acting is decent enough especially from Steve Zahn (Cliff) who is the most believable character in the film. The plot has more holes in it than a paper mache bullet proof vest; but you will forgive that as the action is very well done, some of the slash, smash and cut scene's are some of the best (realistic) I have seen apart from the lack of blood. The camera work is strange but good and it holds as a twisting thriller. For the cheese fans it has some exhibits of the famous melt but isn't a meltbuster, the plot in itself could easily pass as cheese and Timothy Olyphant (Nick) is a possible nominee for cheese of the year. By no means the greatest film ever made or even close but well worth the watch you won't be disappointed, you'll give out about the plot but will soon forgive.Rating: 6.5/10. Cheeseometer: 9.75/50
