Edward Carnby (Slater), detective of the paranormal, unexplained and supernatural, investigates a mystery (the recent death of a friend) with clues leading to “Shadow Island” that brings him face to face with bizarre horrors that prove both psychologically disturbing and lethal, as he discovers that evil demons worshiped by an ancient culture called the Abskani are planning on coming back to life in the 21st century to once again take over the world… and only he and a young genius anthropologist with an incredible memory (and his ex-girlfriend), Aline Cedrac (Reid), stand in their way, at a gateway to hell. Standing in Carnby’s way, however, is the impact that a brief encounter with an evil spirit called the Queen had upon his mind, as he slowly finds himself overpowered by the forces of darkness as they eat away at his very sanity…

Konstigt att när man ser två dåliga filmer på rad, så blir helt plötsligt den ene bra. Har läst en diskussion på dvdforum.nu att Uwe Boll kan vara världens sämsta regissör. Trodde då denna skulle suga massor. Men efter Dead Birds var den ok, om det inte vore för vissa tillfällen som känns som TV-spelssekvenser. Annars en ok actionrulle.

In Civil War America, a band of confederate outlaws take refuge in an abandoned plantation. Led by William (Henry Thomas), they plan to rob a bank that is temporarily storing a cache of Confederate gold. The rest of the group includes Sam (Patrick Fugit), Todd (Isaiah Washington), Annabelle (Nicki Aycox), Clyde (Michael Shannon) and Joseph (Mark Boone Junior). But when the robbery results in a bloodbath, the six flee the town, aiming for Mexico. Threat of an impending thunderstorm makes the outlaws take shelter at a nearby isolated and presumed deserted plantation house. As the night wears on, each member of the group begins to have visions of the atrocities that occurred within the house. As the fear in the group begins to grow and the supernatural forces in the house start to manifest themselves, the six turn on each other and exact the wrath of the souls trapped alongside them.

Att se skräckfilm i Dolby Digital 5.1 gör att även den sämsta filmen kan bli spännande. Hade det inte varit för slutet i denna filmen hade den någ fått en 1:a. Men nu är det närmare 2.5. Rekommenderas verkligen till Pär och Katrin.
