Protraph Lack of good storyline.

GazerRise Fantastic!

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

matthew0083-1 This is the biggest waste of money I have ever spent. Not to mention the title is misleading. Yeah I'm pretty sure that it sounds like a zombie movie and I thought so too and it wasn't. But that's beyond the point of how bad this is! Even the back of the movie the information seems kind of promising but it isn't! Poorly directed, poorly acted, and as Armake21 would say generally not interesting in the slightest. And some of the concepts are just ridiculous. As far as story goes, basically a man that has killed many people and buried them on this island. On this same island he decides to make city for poor people and people on the streets and what naught. Well to make a long story short basically flies are killing everybody and will leave it at that...I'm done with this...

peter182 How can movies like these exist? Why did this script get a chance to become a movie? What were the producers thinking when they sat down and watched the final editing?: "This was a really good movie! It's so cool the way we cut off the sound at times, like when two old guys are talking in slow motion, and put in some gangsta hip hop over it instead! And people will love this idea of flies killing people for no reason at some times, and sometimes not! But hey, don't write on the back of the box that it's flies killing them, make it seem like it's zombies killing em so that we don't spoil it for the viewers! They're in for a pleasant surprise after watching about an hour without any horror and just are waiting for something horrible to come alive, that's when we release the flies!"

SixteenHorsepower I was at my cousins house a while ago and he had this box of DVDs he was borrowing from a friend. We'd seen pretty much everything in the box except this, and so we decided to try it out.The only reason I'm writing this review is so maybe somebody out there will decide not to see it and save themselves from an excruciating amount of pain.So pretty much the movie is about McDowell (a heartless businessman type) and a bunch of other people (including Mos Def) who some how get stuck on an island where McDowell's company plans to build something (I don't know exactly but that's pretty much the idea) and eventually there is some half-ass-ed dialog about corpses being buried or dug up or something. so like I said they get trapped there and for about eight ninths of the film you expect some zombies to pop up. Well what really happens is these flies begin attacking everyone,picking them off one at a time. And, I have no idea why, there are constant flashbacks to some children playing jump-rope which I think is supposed to be scary or something (I s--t you not, the writers seem to think Jumpropes are horrifying.)And that is pretty much the entire film. Kinda stupid huh? well its even worse on film.This movie is so bad it becomes painful. It then becomes so painful it becomes tiring. Then by the last five minutes you're too tired to think and can't help but laugh at how idiotic the film is and how you were somehow tricked into watching all of it.Even if you get a chance to see this for free, I'd recommend avoiding it.

Rupert__Pupkin This movie was given to me as a gift. So because I own it, I really wanted to like it. Sucks to be me.The thought that kept bothering me throughout this terrible flick was, "Doesn't anyone have a cell phone?" It was made in 2000. Cell phones were rampant by then, especially in New York City.The movie had great promise. Hart's Island is a real place, and surprisingly, I've never seen it in a movie before (with the exception of Michael Douglas' "Don't Say a Word" which happened to have one scene on the island. The movie wasn't about the island.) The history of the island is extremely interesting and quite scary. The movie failed to capitalize on any of the history and instead tried to scare us with....HOUSEFLIES!!! I guess flies and maggots are cheaper and easier to get than zombies. Totally ridiculous.Plus, the movie had the usual things you see in stupid, poorly written horror movies (i.e. cars that won't start, love interest between two unlikely heroes, etc.).What a waste. Can I regift it?
