Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

lojitsu A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Lost Colony: The Legend of Roanoke" (R - 2007 - US)Sub-Genre: Monster/ParanormalMy Score: 5.2Cast=5 Acting=5 Plot=7 Ending=5 Story=4 Scare=4 Jump=5 F/X=5 Monster=6 Creep=6In the 1580's English colonists arrive in what was to become North Carolina and find supernatural terror. "Save your soul, before they take it from you." I kind of liked this...sure it was low budget but I love the story of Roanoke and the village that vanished. So I was intrigued by the premise, but other than that it was a middle of the road SyFy channel horror film. Is it worth a look? sure why not...just keep your expectations low. Originally titled, "Wraiths of Roanoke", it kind of lets the cat out of the bag. I don't recommend it but it won't suck the life out of you, either.

kluseba This movie is an entertaining flick that one can see once but not more. I would suggest you to loan this movie if you are interested in a short and action filled movie with a few fantasy and horror elements in a beautiful geographical and historical setting. This is a perfect movie if you are looking for a last film to rent or buy to get a special price reduction or guarantee bonus in the usual shops. It's also a perfect movie to watch something relaxing on a lonely night on television before you go to bed as it is no disturbing flick at all where it isn't ultimately important if you close your eyes from time to time. It's the perfect movie too softly switch your brain off at night.I give already one point to the magnificent landscapes and locations of the flick. The places are well captured and the camera crew delivers a solid job. Another point goes the cultural, historical and mythological background of the movie that is not always that plausible but at least intriguing. The philosophical and moral touch concerning values of friendship, trust, faith and strength adds another interesting level to this low budget movie. A fourth point goes out to the acting. Even though it is not stunning, the rather unknown actors are doing what they can with what they get and I have seen much worse performances. I could maybe give half a point to the ending of the movie that is not ultimately surprising but well chosen.The problem with this flick is the constant lack of atmosphere. There is no suspense or horror in the air, the most frightening scene is already the opening sequence. As soon as you see what attacks the lost colony, any degree of suspense is erased as the special effects are horrible and make you rather laugh out loud than fear. The whole plot doesn't always seem coherent and intriguing to carry over the whole length of the movie. Concerning the action or slash factor, this one is surprisingly low and the battles are really poor and almost boring. Now, as the story is not intriguing and as there is no true suspense, no action and no horror, there is not much left that carries this movie on to be honest. The movie seems to slightly touch any of the mentioned genres without building up something concrete. Some horror scenes, some fantasy moments, some action sequences, some drama dialogues and from time to time some landscape shots are mixed together to a whole mediocre movie of chilled entertainment.

kai ringler At first i didn't quite know what to make of this one,, first of all it's based on history, which is always good,, since i'm a history buff,, Roanoke Island is the setting,, off of the North Carolina coast. About 117 men and women come from England to settle in the new world, and meet up with some strange evil force from an old Viking legend.. apparently there are some tortured souls trapped on the island that just cant' seem to get to where they are going,, Valhalla is where they call it,, in English i guess it's what we'd call Heaven,, anyway to make a long story short these tortured souls are after a little baby, to get an "innocent" then they can get to where they are going,, trouble is they don't like water,, and the villagers are surrounded by a moat,, Adrian Paul does a fairly decent job with the script that he is given,, all in all not a bad story.

nwestwood1 My god this film is bad, however it is strangely watchable. Especially if you have a DVD player in your room, you're ill on a weekday or pulling a sickie. I like watching bad ghost films on a cold miserable day. This wasn't scary apart from watching the wasted potential of Adrian Paul's career ! The ghosts in questions resemble something out of a rundown ghost train attraction or a half baked equalivent of the ghost army from 'Return Of The King'. Still it's watchable as it does have some very mild suspense. For the duriation of the film I would recommend some hot soup and a toasted cheese sandwich, or 1 low volume alcoholic beer- depends on your mood!
