Thrilled to see this available on demand as had never seen it, but heard about how haunting, gripping, amazing a film it is. Imagine my surprise after a promising first 5 minutes when it descended into a weird combo of badly acted "suspense" generated by the behaviors of the fey islanders (with Sgt Howie looking like a cross between a grouchy policeman and your most disapproving nun at parochial school) and schlocky soft porn masquerading as art. Thoroughly slimy AND boring. Didn't finish it, would rather take out the trash or darn socks. The location and plot line could have been amazing, but they are wasted in this miasma of self indulgent and muddled storytelling. Avoid this like the plague...actually, the plague would be easier to tolerate.
