My quick rating - 5,4/10. I am sorry but there is no way this lack of a coherent story deserves all the accolades and a 7,8 rating on IMDB. Yes, the acting is there, I will even say it is phenomenal but that doesn't make a story out of two people losing there minds stranded on an island. The tension between the two is constantly back and forth in believable fluctuations of emotions but again, with no particular story to it, that doesn't lead to a great deal of excitement. In the end, it more or less just is there, and then ends. Great for a tutorial in acting, but that is the extent of my praise. I was bored and let down. Definitely not on the top ten horror of 2019, that is for sure.
