Odd things I noticed
Just some oddities I noticed, probably some explanations out there if you have them I'd love to hear it:
- They never show them eating despite all that food that was given to them by the van driver. If they were in that state where time was accelerated, they would be constantly hungry and have to sit down and eat, not to mention go to the washroom every few minutes. Just like the baby being born and almost immediately dying due to lack of attention and nutrition, for some reason no one else has to eat. Pregnant girl eats like crazy for a little bit, but that's pretty much it.
- As the kids age, they would retain their very short child life experience and would not have gained teenager, adult, or senior life experience--they would still have the life experience as children as they aged. As a result, they would not have sex with each other, they'd be still way too young to understand how it works in the time frame provided in the movie, and most certainly would not engage in hanky panky in the tent based on their childhood knowledge in such a short period of time. I can see it happening perhaps later in the film, but not that early on. I know this was injected into the film for shock value and sensationalism.
- As the girl aged and seemingly didn't notice her chest area expanding and her bikini getting smaller and smaller, I found that bizarre. The first thing that girl would have done is look down and realized quickly something was very wrong as the chest got very tight in the swimsuit.
- I won't even get into the PMS situation that would have affected every teen girl/woman on that beach at a highly accelerated level.
- Guy and Prisca seemingly aged the least out of everyone. Their hair color doesn't even turn silver or gray like it should for the longest time.
- Why did the beautiful Abbey Lee bikini woman age so much faster than Guy and Prisca? She wanders into that cave, hunchback and all, chasing the kids as a skinny old hag flaying her limbs about, wrecking them on the rocks, breaking her bones, all the while going crazy and not giving a care in the world, and then just dies suddenly, meanwhile looking like an alien or something.
- So the two remaining kids finally make it off the beach, and are in the middle of the water surrounded by: more rocks and very little shore. The movie should probably have showed them getting to the shore, and then taking that long walk back to the resort.
- The camera angles were really bad in the film, many times over. Sometimes that was done deliberately for shock value purposes, but most of the time it was just annoying.
4/10, pretty good first half, however it had a really poor second half.
