This movie surprised me. I thought I was in for a bore-fest, but it actually turned out to be quite nice.
The story was not without flaws, but it was good enough to keep me interested, and had a fairly good, steady flow to it. There were times when the movie was halting though.
The effects in "Dark Island" were also quite nice. Especially the CGIs for the animated black cloud. It looked really good, and moved in a very believable way. The make-up effects were good as well.
As for the cast, well I was not familiar with any of the ones in the movie, but most of them did a good job, despite often having halting dialogue to work with.
There weren't any scary moments or thrills throughout the movie, which kind of dragged the overall experience down a notch.
