When the daughter of an ultra-rich CEO is taken hostage at an experimental research facility, on a remote island.
A ragtag team of blue collar mercenaries are compiled to get her back.
However...little do they suspect what they'll be up against...
...Zombies. It's zombies.
The whole thing is a low budget action-horror-sci-fi film, featuring some middle brow acting, decent practical effects, and- what seems like- a pretty straight forward storyline (at least at first).
However, it's mostly just a group of people running around the woods with guns.
With an incredibly bizarre sci-fi angle spun in.
Where "the island resets itself every 3 days".
Which apparently means that new versions of themselves will come to the island every three days...while everyone left on the island past the three day point will turn into zombies.
Meaning that they are effectively caught in a neverending timeloop, fighting against zombified versions of themselves.
So...they must escape the island within that three day window...or accept their zombie fate.
That is, if they aren't killed by the island's "self destruction sequence", which the company behind the research facility claims they have initiated.
It's all kind of weird.
And hard to follow.
As it doesn't make a whole lot of logical sense.
Especially when the bit about traveling back through time- and going through wormholes- comes into play.
It's hard not to get lost in the foray.
So all you can do is try to roll with it.
Even if you don't understand exactly what is going on.
Perhaps it's all just over my head.
But I don't think so.
The complexity of it all is certainly intriguing.
But, in reality, it's just a poorly thought out, and forcibly constructed, storyline.
Turning what seemed like a straight forward zombie island escape, into a confounding sci-fi conundrum.
3 out of 10 (for trying).
