THE CREEPIEST ISLAND ON EARTH

Deep within an ancient Aztec canal system on the outskirts of Mexico City lies Isla de las Munecas...a reportedly haunted island infested with thousands of decrepit dolls.

While there to film a television documentary, several friends discover a brutal murder. Soon fear and paranoia turn them against one another - even as the unknown killer stalks them throughout the longest night of their lives.

31% (view spoiler)[This island surely isn’t a vacation spot I’d want to go to. Creepy as hell lol. Poor Rosa she must be so scared I’m glad she wasn’t allowed to go back and see her brother body, with no yes and all torn up 😱😱 Not sure if it’s actually paranormal or just a crazy human so we’ll see who’s doing the killing (hide spoiler)]

57% (view spoiler)[Omg wtf, they just gave poor Maria a lobotomy. It’s bad enough her mother left her in this wretched place. Poor girl, she’s had a shit life 😥 This book is a bit nuts. Honestly I needed a book with a “doll” on the cover for another challenge and stumbled across this one, not sure how I feel just yet lol (hide spoiler)]

65% (view spoiler)[Holy crap. Maria’s mom thinks she’s what, better off dead?! And Nitro had his throat torn open wtf (hide spoiler)]

79% (view spoiler)[Ok so if Jesus killed nitro that still doesn’t explain who killed rosas brother. Is is solano or a whole different person than we’re led to believe? (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[I guess this story was ok. Kind of sad and disppaoint8ng if you ask me. Poor Maria, she’s so wronged by everyone I don’t understand how so many people including her parents could do the things they do.
The dolls only gave a creepy vibe and in fact only were threatening in dreams, that was disappointing. Jesus killing Nitro was just dumb and Pita turned out to be such a cuckoo, wasn’t even all that pissed her brother killed her lover smh (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ This has started off Okay. I take it the two stories will meet. So they are on an island that the locals fear. The route is a bit morbid with the corpses below them. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ That's why you don't do something like that on a scary Island in a storm. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ This slowed down a bit> It goes slow then something happens then it goes slow again. I know what she's doing with the eyes, they are for the dolls. (hide spoiler)]

Finished

(view spoiler)[ I feel that ended a little flat. I was hopping so much more would happen. So it was Jesus all along apart from the first 2 which was a special needs lady who didn't understand. The dolls were creepy but I was really hoping that they would come alive. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Unfortunately a lot of people believe that things like this can 'cure' special needs. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Yeah I was expecting more. You could have done so much more with the dolls. I also feel that there was no real explanation on why Jesus did what he did. What was he hiding? (hide spoiler)]

I actually thought this aspect was interesting but beyond disturbing. I mean how creepy to be floating down a river and all these bodies/skeletons just rise up out of the water to say hello lol.

(view spoiler)[I absolutely agree on the dolls. Every time they had a dream, I was like here comes a the killer doll and nope it was just your everyday psycho lol. The buildup was a lot better than it turned out being. Started strong and just didn't end that way. (hide spoiler)]

That's a great point, I didn't think of that. I mean really who cares if (view spoiler)[ Nitro was a cop, what was Jesus doing that was so wrong he had to kill him??? (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

I totally agree.
