Uninhabited (2010)
Harry and Beth wanted a different kind of holiday so they chartered a boat to drop them off on a remote coral island on the Great Barrier Reef. The island was idyllic, surrounded by a wide reef, covered in palms and full of birds and other wildlife. It was small and totally deserted or so they thought. But when things go missing from their camp site and they discover someone else's footprints in the sand this quickly becomes disturbing as they realize the island has a ghost! Inspired by actual events.

Perfect cast and a good story
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
When Harry and his girlfriend Beth travel to one of the six hundred islands in the Northeast coast of Australia, they expect to camp ten days in a deserted paradise.But they find footprints on the sand and things missing in their camp. They believe that it could be a prank by some children camping on the other side of the island.After an incident with two Greek fisherman, the couple find that a woman was molested and murdered years ago on the island, and her ghost still walks the sands.....First off, I really doubt that this movie is based on actual events, because, Spoiler Alert!, no one lives to tell the tale.Take that equation away, and the film is pretty intense, with a wonderful soundtrack, and quite unsettling sound effects.The two leads are what you would expect from a cheap B movie, not the best actors in the world, but perfunctory.There are a few times when you think to yourself 'yes, I'd leave by now' like when they find out that someone gas been filming them, but no, they want to stay.So all in all, it's nice little find, nothing special, with a good twist ending, but never in a million years is this story true.
Or "Dark Beach" as the German title says. Beautiful people on an island and every sort of logic is thrown out. Or sinked and drowned the moment they sat foot on the island. The actors try their best to make it worth watching, but it really drags. The question is, does it drag from the first moment for you or 5 minutes in? Only you can answer that question, if you are willing to watch it.It was a nice touch for me to see (and hear) Greek being spoken in the movie (by actual Greeks), but it doesn't really add anything to it. There is some sort of "Retribution" towards the end and the overall story wouldn't be that bad ... but unfortunately it is.
This movie was awful. It would seem that this movie was a feminist's dream: a female ghost running around an island killing only men by stabbing them in the penis. That's the entire story. If you are a man hating feminist who is into this kind of thing then go ahead and watch it. Otherwise save yourself the time. I was in disbelief when I found out this movie was directed by a man. What's up with all the penis slicing in movies nowadays? It's getting old. And the main female character who had absolutely nothing bad happen to her becomes a penis slicing ghost at the end. Why? Because that's the entire point of the movie: men are bad and need to have their penis sliced off.
OK. Sure, the story didn't really make much sense and the acting wasn't super but it did at least come across as somewhat of a thriller. Again, this is not the best movie ever, or even one that I'd recommend but trust me, there are worse movies out there than this. The scenery was very nice and the actress was nice to look at and it didn't really drag on so I don't think it is one of those movies where you feel "There's an hour and a half of my life I won't get back" I think the story could have been cleaned up a bit as I am still trying to understand why the Coral was killing innocent men trying to get revenge and why Beth ends up getting killed at the end and then apparently is seeking revenge.
