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.
