Trivia
When Isaac arrives at the island in the beginning of the movie, he brings no supplies or clothes for a five day stay; the boat is empty.

Goofs
The leather harness Isaac is wearing has two large buckles right behind the shoulders. It looks like it would be easy for him to simply reach behind each shoulder, undo the buckles, and wiggle out of the harness, but instead he concentrates on trying to break the chain.

Quotes
Moe Barrett: I don't see what the problem is. This is a job. Every job has a uniform.
Isaac: That's not a uniform. It's a leash, and I'm not putting it on.

Freaky drumming rabbit.

If I would collect movie props that drumming rabbit toy would be the first thing I would buy. I'm not sure, no in fact I'm 100% sure, that thing wouldn't be allowed in the house by my wife. It was creepy and fun to watch. The movie has a good suspense level, and some mystery that keeps you interested. I thought Jonathan French was very convincing in his role, pretty good acting of him. The horror is there but it's mild, it's all more about the suspense and mystery. Overal the story is fine but could have been better. It's good enough for a one time viewing though.
