(HORROR) The Isle - 2000 ***


'The Isle' is a very strange film. It's got something about it that you just can't put your finger on, and it's quite haunting as well. It's all about a mute woman who owns a fishing resort where she rents out  'floating homes' to customers who want to come and indulge in the sport for months or weeks. It's bizarre to see these houses with literally one room inside which are completely self-contained. I had no idea there were places like this in Korea.
As more customers arrive, the woman goes out of her way to make all their stays memorable, whether it means that they are alive at the end or not.
There are certain 'dreamlike' sequences that leave you feeling slightly mystified. Very odd.
