Welcome To Movie Recall. In Today's video, we will be going through the

Let's Get Started. Turn On Subtitles and Spoilers Ahead!
The Cappa family, which includes parents Guy and Prisca, as well as their children Maddox
and Trent, arrives at a posh resort for a family holiday. When they enter the resort, the manager
directs them toward an attendant who brings them cocktails based on their preferences; she also
tells the kids that they have a drinking fountain for them too. The kids ask their parents if they
can go, and the parents say they can. Prisca then looks at Guy and tells him that she can't
believe that they found such an amazing place online. When the kids reach the fountain, Trent
meets a little child named Idlib, who tells Trent to mix the vanilla and strawberry; he also tells
Trent that his uncle is the manager there. Trent then tells the kid that he can do a thousand-piece
jigsaw puzzle, and Idlib tells him that he likes to collect conch shells and has 42 of them.
As they settle into their rooms, the kids change into their swimsuits and say that they want to
go to the beach. Guy jokingly starts to read the instruction manual and tells the kids that they
are not allowed on the beach and that there is no kid's week. The kids start to playfully wrestle
with their dad as their mother looks on with a sad look on her face. On the beach, Idlib and
Trent meet, and then the two engage in different activities such as asking other resort guests
what their names and professions are, and Idlib gives Trent a unique code to read communications.
Idlib asks Trent to tell him something that he can't do; Trent replies that he can't do a pushup,
and Idlib tells him that he doesn't have any friends. Trent then says that his mom will
allow him to facetime him and that they can even become neighbors. The two then start playing.
Meanwhile, Guy and Prisca talk about how this is simply one more trip they want to offer the
kids before they divorce, which is complicated by Prisca's stomach tumor. Guy doesn't want to get a
divorce, and he says that they should think about the future, which makes Prisca angry,
and she says that he is always thinking about the future. As their parents argue, the kids
sit together and listen from the other room. Then a scene is shown of two people on the beach,
the girl starts to take off her swimsuit, and the man looks on as she goes into the water.
At breakfast, Charles, a middle-aged doctor, sits with his younger vain wife Chrystal,
daughter Kara, and his mother Agnes. The Cappa family is also seated there. Suddenly, they hear
some plates shattering and see that Patricia is suffering an epileptic seizure, which Charles
assists with as her husband Jarin also attempts to help. After Patricia recovers, she apologizes for
running everyone's breakfast, and her husband jokingly says that she always wants to be the
center of attention. Trent also notices Idlib, who he had planned to meet up with later that day,
but the resort manager orders him to leave. Later that day, Charles and his family,
as well as the Kapas, board a vehicle that transports them to a private beach.
They take all their things from the car and start walking towards the beach as the attendant that
brought them here leaves. The group has to walk through a wooded area, which then opens up to
a small pathway between a couple of large rocks. They finally arrive to see a breathtaking view of
the beach. Prisca smiles and says that she almost felt some chills as the sight was so breathtaking.
Crystal takes off the sheet around her stomach and starts to take pictures of herself while Prisca
lays back and starts reading a book, she even asks Guy to tell her about the book she is reading,
but Guy says that he doesn't know. The Guy is about to say something, but he decides against
it and says that he will tell it to her later. Meanwhile, Agnes takes Kara for a run into the
water. Maddox recognizes Mid-Size Sedan, a rapper who was previously observed skinny-dipping with a
female partner. The kids start to play together as the adults sit and relax on their beach chairs.
The girls come across ancient dolls buried in the sand, abandoned by other children.
Maddox calls her mom and says that she has found rusted spoons from the hotel
and her mother tells her that she should put them down as she could become infected.
Trent is swimming near a cave when he comes upon a dead body floating in the water.
It Is the girl that was with Brendan; she appeared to have drowned. While the grownups
investigate the body, the kids are taken away. Brendan then walks towards the group, and he is
seen suffering from nosebleeds; he is also seen similarly taken aback by his companion's death.
Brendan is suspected of foul play by Charles, despite the fact that he claims the woman just
went for a swim and never returned. While lying on the sand, Agnes says that her stomach feels funny,
and Crystal stays that they should have taken the yacht-like she recommended,
and that Charles should not have argued about it. Guy continues to talk to Brendan, and he
says that he didn't do anything as the girl was into him. Charles then comes and says that there
is no service and that they need to keep an eye on Brendan and the body. He just says this when a new
couple arrives on the scene. Brendan tells them that they need to get the people from the resort,
but Jarin and Patricia say that their transporters are already gone. Suddenly,
Crystal comes on the scene and tells them that something is wrong with Charles's mother. Jarin
says that he is going to go back to the woods to get help, but when he walks toward the rocks,
he suddenly blacks out, and when he wakes up, the people around him tell him that he had passed out.
Prisca then comes up to the doctor and tells him that she knows he is dealing with a lot,
but something is wrong with her son. Suddenly someone calls that Agnes is not
breathing; Charles tries to resuscitate her as his wife says that she didn't do anything and
that Agnes just stopped breathing. Charles fails to revive her mother and then sadly says that she
saw a murder and her heart just could take it. Something strange begins to happen to the
youngsters as well. Brendan tells the adults that the woman he was with had multiple sclerosis,
while he had hemophilia, which explains his nosebleeds. Jarin and Patricia speak with Trent
and Maddox, who have grown into pre-teens, as well as Kara. Prisca can't seem to recognize her
own children, which starts to worry the kids as well, and they rush to hug their parents. Seeing
all this, Brendan tries to make a run for it as Charles chases him, but the moment they reach the
cave formed by the rocks, both of them get severe headaches, and they pass out. When they wake up,
Brendan asks how they got here, and they tell him that they brought them out.
Several efforts are made to escape the beach by passing through the rocks that separate it from
the rest of the world, but all of the adults who try to cross through experience a pounding
in their heads before blacking out and returning to the beach. They also observe odd occurrences,
such as how the slash mark on Brendan's arm healed in seconds when Charles struck him with a knife.
Soon after, Brendan notices that the woman he was with has completely decomposed into nothing
but bones in just a few hours, indicating that something time-related is going on on the beach.
Prisca's stomach tumor begins to cause her pain and discomfort all of a sudden.
The adults try to aid her by feeling around for the tumor, which they initially described
as being the size of a golf ball. They proceed to operate on the tumor, which had grown to the size
of a cantaloupe. Prisca's abdominal wound heals quickly after the treatment is complete.
Trent and Kara are becoming teens and young adults. Furthermore, Kara has grown five months
pregnant in a matter of minutes. presumably after having sex with Trent minutes earlier.
The adults prepare for the delivery, which occurs rapidly, but the infant dies a minute
later owing to a lack of care. The other adults begin to display more noticeable signs of age,
but Chrystal is having a far more difficult time with it than the others.
As a result of his schizophrenia, Charles begins to lose his mind, causing him to stab Brendan to
death. While trying to come up with a different escape strategy, the others take his weapon away.
Jarin tries to swim to locate a way out because they can't go through the rocks. While this is
going on, Trent and Maddox come upon a notebook left by a previous guest, which contains a list of
names and medical problems. They also detect what appears to be people watching them from afar.
Maddox inquires of Prisca about the possibility of her and Guy breaking up. Prisca admits to having
a relationship with another guy. Despite Prisca's attempts to explain herself,
Maddox is enraged. She rushes to the shore and tries to be brave and find a way out on her own,
but she discovers Jarin's body, who had evidently passed out and drowned. Patricia had a deadly
seizure when she sees his body. Kara then urgently tries to find a way out by climbing up the rocks,
but before she can get high enough, she blacks out and falls to her death, leaving Trent distraught.
It's now dark outside. Charles has gone completely insane, and Chrystal is also losing her mind due
to her rapid aging and deteriorating physical condition she has grown a calcium hump on her
back. Guy's vision is deteriorating, and Prisca's complexion has become notably grayer.
Guy and Prisca discuss the other man in Prisca's life, with Guy confessing that he was aware of him
and wishing that he had done more to keep their marriage together, but he also points out that
the other guy is a loser and that she deserves more. When Trent and Maddox try to gaze at her,
Charles begins to fight Guy and Prisca, while Chrystal attacks Trent and Maddox. She follows
them into the cave, where her body is twisted and distorted into horrifying positions before
she dies. After that, Prisca cuts Charles with a rusted knife, causing an infection that quickly
spreads throughout his body and kills him. The Cappa then congregates at the beach and
around the bonfire. Guy is now frail and has trouble speaking and remembering things, but right
before he dies, he acknowledges to Prisca that he still loves her. Prisca then rises for a brief
period before collapsing and dying by Guy's side, leaving both children to grieve their parents.
Trent and Maddox are now in their 50s in the morning. Trent recalls a code
given to him by Idlib, which he decoded and deduced to mean "My uncle dislikes coral."
The twins notice a nearby coral reef and understand that it must be their exit.
Maddox's shirt gets snagged on the coral as the two swim out there. When the two don't show up,
Theo, the van driver who transported the families to the beach, reports to his superiors from his
observation station on a rock above the beach that all members of "Trial 73" have died.
When Theo returns to the resort and visits a lab area, it is revealed that the resort is a front
for Warren & Warren, a medical research team that attracts people with medical conditions
to the beach in order to conduct clinical trials for life-saving drugs, which are given to them
in the welcome cocktails. They know that the mysterious beach accelerates the aging process,
so they extend the experiments to a whole day in order to achieve better results. They think
they healed Patricia's epilepsy since she went eight hours without having a seizure,
which is nearly 16 years on the beach. Trent and Maddox, who managed to free themselves
from the coral, halt the resort manager and others from poaching their newest victims.
Trent locates a man he chatted with as a child and recognizes him as a police officer.
He offers the guy the diary he found on the shore, which contains the names and medical
conditions of many missing persons. Even as an adult, Idlib comes out and recognizes Trent.
Trent and Maddox tell everyone the truth, and the entire resort staff understands they're doomed.
Authorities arrive to arrest all of the resort staff, and in the closing scene,
an officer takes Trent and Maddox away from the island by helicopter to live with their aunt.
