Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a mystery thriller film: "Red island"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins with a distressed man, named John, getting chased by an unknown figure in the woods
He is running away from the danger that the creature can bring
When he notices a cave not so far from his position, he sprints towards it and hides
However, he is still not safe, and feels that a pair of eyes are watching for his every move
In the next scene, John is under interrogation
about the happenings on their trip and his archaeologist wife, Amy
John is sitting in front of the interviewer, and it looks like he hasn't had any sleep for days
He gets an uneasy feeling, and looks like someone who has been in a lot of traumas in the past
He is blaming himself for what happened, as he reminisces his memories before the tragedy
He is just trying to make Amy feel better after her miscarriage
Miscarriage not only affects the physical being of a woman,
but highly impacts her mental state as well
The husband thought that perhaps bringing her on a trip to a remote island,
could make her feel better and connected to him
They are there to unwind,
and for a greater purpose to locate ancient indigenous Americans' artifacts
John hears a noise from a distance while picking up woods to build a fire;
and Amy is also aware of the noises
They think it's just the wind brushing with the trees
This can't be a wild animal, because the place is so abandoned;
and not a single trace of wildlife can be seen
That night, they share a conversation in front of a campfire
The two are giving the impression of two people who just met
They are pretty distant from each other
then John realizes that his satellite phone is not working like it is supposed to
He shows his utmost disappointment to the device, calling it 'useless'
The couple starts roaming around the woods the moment they wake up
The trees are undeniably towering them
It is gigantic with monstrous-gnarled roots
Amy is in awe, upon seeing the sight of a tree with ancient carvings all over its trunk
He is observing his wife, because he cannot help but have strange feelings about the island
He wants his wife to feel happy
While his wife is occupied, he lets her do her thing,
so John cannot ruin Amy's sublime connection with nature
He wants her to recover; and if this is her way of coping,
then her husband must try to stand by his wife all the way through
John seems very careful with his words to his wife,
as if Amy is a fragile and expensive jar that will break any minute when she gets hurt
John knows that his wife may harbor resentment towards him
about the tragic event of losing their child
Nevertheless, that night while they are sharing a meal, talking about random stuff,
John concludes that being on an island without anyone, might restore their relationship
At 2 pm in the afternoon on their third day on the island,
Amy decides to hike to a rocky mountain, a few kilometers away from their camp
She is feeling motivated and ecstatic to move, so John follows her
The wife is fascinated by the simplest things on the island,
like a stack of rocks on top of each other
She claims that they are powerful, whereas John is puzzled
John wants to have unity with her; but they have a different perception of things
He cannot decipher how Amy's world works, or how her brain is wired with nature and stuff
John's mind is clouded by something
He always looks worried for some reason
It feels like he is hiding something or that he has an ulterior motive
John seems preoccupied one way or another
It is because they are on an uninhabited island, where no one ever dares to go to,
and that there is something more than meets the eye
Exhausted, John seeks a little time to rest a while later
He lit his cigarette, while leaning on a bed of rock and moss
He is contemplating his wife and the trip
He was sure their connection was coming back; but his wife proved him wrong that night
She appears to be distant towards John;
and she makes an excuse that she is tired, when John attempts to make love with her
They continue the hike the following morning
John is making fun of Amy, while she is crossing a puddle
It is not a secret that John is making their time on the island
He is making an effort to lighten the mood
It seems to work because Amy is laughing,
especially when John falls flat on his face after moving forward
Moments later, they find themselves throwing balls of mud at each other
John accidentally throws a huge pile of it on Amy's face, which makes her offended
She takes her revenge by throwing her husband mud as well
Since their clothes are stained with mud and dirt, the two then go to a pond nearby to wash up
Amy notices that a figure from afar is watching them
John gets his gun, and shoots in the direction, which makes Amy mad for bringing the weapon,
because she told him to get rid of that thing
John reasons out by saying that he brought it for extra precautions
This leads to an argument between the two; so they part their ways to cool their heads off
Surprisingly, John calls his assistant using the satellite phone
The real deal behind all of this is that John has a hidden agenda,
which is why he wants to go to the island for financial gain
John wanders around the vicinity of the island where a native plaque lies
He stares at it as a flashback happens, showing him being financially unstable
He receives a call about an old man,
looking for someone to find an old native plaque, 'The Cursed Shrine'
He did his research beforehand and found out that it was placed there to commemorate a tragic event
This is the reason why the locals are afraid to set foot on the island,
and they believe that something is protecting it
In this scene, images of a weird half-man, half-animal are shown on the site
In fact, John knew it all along, but he turned a blind eye
His worries intensify when his wife disappears
He checks the camp for any sign of her; but she is nowhere to be found
He suddenly remembers the stack of rocks his wife adored, so he makes his trail up there
When John arrives at his destination, he proves himself correct,
because Amy is lying unconscious beneath the rocks, to an opening of the cave
Since it takes some time to bring her consciousness back,
John takes his wife back to camp that night
He puts a bandage over his wife's deep scratches
He suggests that they must go to town the next day to get her wound treated; but Amy refuses
She recommends changing the bandage tomorrow; and the problem will be solved
This time, John cannot stop himself from asking where she got it from
Amy stresses that she does not remember
John wakes up after a strange wet dream of his wife being naked in the middle of the night
He prepares himself to get the old native plaque at the other smaller island near their camp
He loads the plaque on the boat, but it fails to start
He calls his assistant to pick him up using his satellite phone
but it will take a day, so John is left with no choice,
but to swim his way to the camp with the plaque in his backpack
He knew right from then that something would go wrong after taking the plaque from its old place
He discerns the island becomes more eerie and silent than it was before
He also feels like someone is following him
John tells Amy that they need to head back home, because of the injury and the malfunctioning boat
However, she refuses and insists on staying
Meanwhile, John's assistant is on his way to the island with another boat, so everything is settled
but he can't change his wife's mind
At this point, John knows there is something wrong
Amy is always out in the woods,
and is starting to act strange since he found her in the cave, unconscious
The fear that locals feared about the place, never leaves his head after that
It is haunting him every moment
Amy suspiciously enters a cave, while looking for a place to rest during their hiking session
At this point, She is talking to a mysterious creature she seems comfortable talking to
then the creature starts crawling to get her
On the other hand, John starts to get worried about Amy and her whereabouts
John calls her name, hoping she will immediately respond
but John hears nothing from her
As he finds her, John can feel a pair of eyes shooting glances in his direction
He starts to be suspicious; but he is also calming his nerves
John is trying to run away, but gets distracted by something behind the cluster of ferns
then his hands begin shaking, when he sees his assistant lying dead on the ground
At this point, he is certain that they need to escape the island all at once
Then he washes the blood off his hands
It's just dirt; but his mind is playing games
He is in a state, wherein he is starting to suspect everything he gets in contact with
The sun hides, and the sky gets dim
John is still searching for Amy
He wants to believe that she is still somewhere safe
Then a figure from beyond the tree catches his attention that speculates John that it is his wife
Therefore, John follows it without a doubt
At a single blink, he falls to the ground after an attack from behind
After he gains his consciousness, Amy shows up in front of her husband,
and expresses her anger for lying to her
John tries to explain himself; but only apologetic words come out of his mouth
He is blaming himself for what happened to his assistant
He explains to Amy that something attacked him,
and they must get out of the place as soon as possible
However, no matter how hard he persuades his wife, she doesn't listen
Amy assumes that John will leave her once they leave the island
because their relationship is not working out
At the moment, she is on the verge of crying
she moves toward him, and gives him a bite on the neck before leaving
Due to this, John gets alarmed
The action of his wife is one of these monsters that the locals are scared of,
and that makes him lose his mind
Afterward, Amy starts changing her appearance;
and John's eyes become frozen, and beads of sweat start pouring on his face
At this point
he is in a state of unease, upon seeing his wife
Amy's skin takes on the appearance of a lizard, complete with monstrous and razor-sharp claws;
and it looks like an eerie-vicious creature with a ravenous appetite for blood
Not long after, while gathering all the courage and strength he could get,
he dashes away from the place
He is skipping over huge rocks, braving the gigantic roots,
trying to survive out of the misery he is in
Also, this is probably the right time to show off his gun,
but his supposed protection is out of reach
The movie ends when he reaches the edge of the island where the sea is located
Using his shaky body, he manages to swim away from the island
and to reach the boat his assistant used
As he hears the engine roar, John feels the rush of relief
At this moment, He can't help but stare at the monster on the island in front of him
He is safe; but Amy is not with him
The reality of him going back home without his wife, is breaking him to pieces
He ruins the supposed happily ever after for their relationship
