I really enjoyed this :)
What stood out most to me was the pacing-it takes its time, but in a way that feels deliberate rather than slow. Every scene adds another layer, drawing you deeper into a story that feels unsettlingly real. The writing trusts the audience, never over-explaining, which makes the experience all the more immersive.

The performances feel raw and authentic, giving the film an emotional weight that`s often missing from bigger productions. There`s a quiet intensity throughout, with characters that feel grounded and human, even in the midst of uncertainty and fear.

It`s not about scale-it`s about control, tone, and storytelling. And on those fronts, this film absolutely delivers.

I had to switch this off about 30 minutes in because it was as entertaining as chewing on uncooked pasta shells dry, awkward, and impossible to swallow. The acting is atrocious, straight out of a school play where everyone`s trying way too hard. I can`t recall the last film where I loathed every single character almost immediately; the leads come across as caricatures rather than people.

The `little growl` moments and random splats of blood are laughably bad-zero-budget special effects that look like they were added in a university dorm room edit suite. What could have been an intriguing concept (a skin jacket mystery/horror set against the stark, atmospheric backdrop of Orkney) is completely ruined by massive overacting, no tension buildup whatsoever, and a script that feels half-baked.

Trust me: this is like a promising student project that went off the rails and never recovered. Avoid like the plague-there are far better ways to spend your time. 2/10 (and that`s generous for the scenery).

Idea was sound but...
From the Grandfather with the £200 haircut, hipster beard and DEI granddaughter to the Straw Dogs hardmen it`s a casting disaster. Nice scenery though.

Essentially it`s a school play with a better budget and a decent script. Acting is mixed from dreadful to passable. With a bit more time and tighter editing it would have been so much better.

A seriously impressive sci-fi indie thriller!
A seriously impressive sci-fi thriller that proves you don`t need a massive budget to deliver something powerful. This indie film is tense, dark, and gritty in all the right ways, with standout performances from a cast of incredibly talented local actors.

It`s frustrating to see people constantly comparing it to big-budget blockbusters-this film isn`t trying to be that, and it absolutely succeeds on its own terms. The direction and editing are sharp and purposeful, making the most of every moment and every resource.

One of my favourite aspects was the lingering sense of mystery around the characters-I was never quite sure who to trust, which kept me hooked throughout. And the backdrop of the Isle of Skye adds a stunning, almost haunting atmosphere that perfectly complements the story.

A brilliantly crafted indie film that deserves to be appreciated for what it is-raw, engaging, and genuinely gripping.

A Crushing Disappointment
I was looking forward to this flick, as a good friend of mine was born and raised on the Isle of Skye where this was filmed, off the Scottish coast. Unfortunately, the flick itself (not to be confused with a `movie` which is engaging and entertaining is, as noted in the title of this review, a crushing disappointment. First, nothing much happens for the first hour of the flick. People argue, trundle around and waste time not entertaining us; even the delightful Scottish brogue of much of the cast doesn`t help. Next, as good horror movies have shown us - from Nosferatu to Frankenstein to Alien - the Monster makes or breaks the material. Here the monster is an ill-defined afterthought...if any thought was given to it at all.

Watch this movie - if you must - for the lovely scenery of the setting, but do not expect to be entertained beyond that.
