Four friends want to enter an abandoned resort on an
obscure Hawaiian Island that’s rumoured to be haunted by a half-faced girl. This is a really clever, brilliantly edited
film that cooks up the scary moments at
just the right moments heightened with superb climactic timing.
The outcome is unpredictable and that’s what makes The
Resort a unique film for the genre. The seventy-five minutes fly by.
There’s a reason to investigate this resort –
it’s Alexander’s birthday and she’s obsessed with the paranormal, so what
better way to celebrate than to dash off to this deserted island via a piloted
helicopter who claims a small group of people still inhabit the island, but the
band of four never run into them.
There is no
reason really why the bad happens; none of them deserved what they got, but
isn’t that a part of life – or in this case death.
