(“Do you guys mind if I go topless?” asks a blonde who’s forgotten half of her bikini. After the boob scene, the rest of her swimwear magically appears.) Does anyone, especially a horror fan, ever really enjoy watching barely familiar characters—who you want to see get sliced—frolic in Crayola-blue oceans by day and party down by night? They drink, they make out, they dance; the next mo ... " [More]

"Just a lame attempt at another "Hostel" style movie...the acting was pretty poor, the story line made bad jumps, and half the movie seemed to be underwater, and then bam out of nowhere the movie came to it's peek and then just as quickly it was over. Pretty lame. " [More]
