After a young boy commits suicide at a juvenile detention center, two bullies are held responsible and sent with others to an uninhabited island, formerly an Army training zone. The delinquents, including Steve (Stephen Wight) and Lewis (Luke Neal), are accompanied by ruthless overseer Jed (Sean Pertwee). Although originally intended as an exercise to build character and instill virtue, their trip turns sinister when they encounter a group of bloodthirsty dogs and a crazy killer with a crossbow.

3/5
Bassett’s film plays on its characters’ impulses and creates an unceasing thriller that is one part slasher and one part Lord of the Flies. Go to Full Review

Anton Bitel Film4 Jun 15, 2007
This over-literal, fright-free slasher is strictly for completist gorehounds and Home Secretaries seeking radical solutions to the high number of youth offenders. Go to Full Review

2/5

2/5
It's nasty and bloody with enough mayhem to make most horror fans overlook some even more horrific dialogue. Go to Full Review
