If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Blistering performances.

Soothe film consists of our quite attractive people and one fat man, who get on a boat for a trip, and crash on a desert island.But things go from bad to worse. We have a proposal, and the the island is infested with Bob Marley wannabes who have fun in trees, and have a taste for human flesh.The film starts with a pointless flashback featuring a girl wearing too much make up that hadn't been invented yet, who gets gobbled up, but leaves a machete in an appropriate place for later.Then we are treated to a group of annoying people who you just know are going to end up as chowder later on. I couldn't care less for these people, they spent the majority of the film, hating each other, or distrusting each other, so it was good when they started getting picked off.There's no real surprises, the first girl we meet ends up living, and they picked off in order of annoyance. The machete is found at the end and the lead girl, chops off the head of the alpha male.What happens next is bizarre, the rest of the Marley crew, walk forward, know their master is dead and back off. The ending is surprising, because I was expecting some cheap jump scare at the end, but no, she sits there in a mood for a while and rows off on a raft.It's a bad movie, with an okay looking monster.Really not worth watching.

If you read my reviews you'll see that I'm not one for hyperbole. But, all things considered, this really is one of the worst films I have ever seen.A group of young rich Americans - who have various relationship issues between them - get on a yacht to sail off to a party. The boat sinks and they find themselves stranded on a mysterious island where they must battle to survive against a tribe of murdering sub-humans.Yes it's all been done before, and there is NOTHING in this film that even attempts originality. But that's not the main problem. I can't tell you how bad it is. The relationships between the characters are poorly developed, the characters themselves are one-dimensional and unsympathetic, the acting is bottom-rate, the plot pointless, the direction annoying.I usually try not to spoil in my reviews but this film is so bad I don't want you to waste your time seeing it, so I'll give you an example: One character is attacked by the creatures and dragged off into the jungle while he sleeps. He wakes to find his shin-bone broken and sticking out through his skin (he has noticed none of this as he slept). This kind of injury must surely be one of the most painful things possible, yet when he (eventually) notices it he winces as though he has been stung by a bee, then calmly ties the bone with a splint, gets up and starts walking around seemingly un-perturbed. Later we see him running.Characters are seemingly killed off one by one, only to be seen again later being tortured by the creatures - and then killed anyway. As the plot rambles on, the tribe seems to have some kind of mysterious agenda, and it turns out they are selective in which humans they kill, but by the time we discover this there is only one human character left and she has no-one to talk to, so we don't get to know why.Sometimes films are so bad they are actually funny, and they develop cult status. That won't happen to this one, because it doesn't even have any heart. Even if you like gore, the killings are not all that bloody so you'll be disappointed on that level too. Overall, by the time the closing credits roll it really is a relief, and you just wonder: why did they bother?In all my IMDb reviews over the years, I have never given a move a '1' rating before. It seems there's a first time for everything!

The story behind the production of this movie is so complicated that I am not even sure about its title.In Argentina,this movie is called "La Tribu",a straight translation of its supposed title in English,The Tribe.However,the title which appeared on this movie is The Forgotten Ones.Now,the thing starts to get more complicated : there are apparently two versions of this movie,because the producers were so unhappy with the original version (and,according to some gossips,with the main actress) that they decided to film big part of the material again but with a different cast,and that version received the title of The Lost Tribe.So,according to the official website,that new version is the one which was sold to the distribution company Lionsgate as a part of its line After Dark Horrorfest.Unfortunately,all those pathetic gossips from the industry are much more interesting than this horrible movie.Leaving aside all those gossips,The Forgotten Ones (or whatever its title is) is a pathetic "horror" movie.Actress Jewel Staite is more famous for her work on the cult TV series Firefly and Stargate Atlantis and,although she has some charisma,the screenplay is so poor that she does not have much to do with her character.The screenplay from this movie is a big piece of crap : showing a young woman running through the jungle for 90 minutes does not qualify as a story.I suppose that the lenght from this screenplay was of no more than 10 or 12 pages.The Forgotten Ones is a pathetic horror film which truly damages to the reputation of the genre,so do not make the same mistake as me and do not watch it.If you want to see a good "tropical horror" film,I suggest you to see The Ruins or Rogue.

What a waste of time. The opening sequence takes place in the past and looks promising. But then...we get to the present. And it all goes downhill from there.The movie apes a lot of Predator sequences. But it's all a waste because the characters are really being chased by some kind of weird mutated bigfoot ape things.Everyone dies pretty fast, so that too, was a waste.Jewel's character is the only one left standing. And she ridiculously goes into Predator fightin mode. I'd say it jumps the shark right there.The ending is anticlimactic. And you just kind of sit there like, that's it??? Total waste of time. Jewel did give it her all, though. But sometimes even good acting cannot save a really bad movie.
