Abandoned at birth, Nikki Black has spent most of her life in 'care' sustained only by fairy-tales and fantasy novels. Incapable of love, fearful and desperate for revenge, she decides to find her birth mother, confront her... then kill her. She travels incognito to the remote island where her mother Phyllis now lives as a recluse with Calum, her islander son. Weeks pass and Nikki gradually awakens to the magic of the island, her beguiling brother and their shared passion for storytelling. And, all the while, her murderous paranoia intensifies... Review: Deep, Dark, Mysterious and Strangely Enchanting! - This movie is about a young girl searching for her birth mother...and revenge. Along the way, she finds her biological mother and a brother she never knew she had set amongst the background of a mysterious island. The movie starts with Nikki sharing a fairy tale, which plays beautifully into the movie later on. (won't say too much, don't want to ruin it). The movie carries on through Nikki, the main character, and what kind of life she's had since being abandoned at birth. Containing various flashbacks of life as a kid in the foster care system, her past is bleak, painful and riddled with dark undercurrents. When she finds birth mother, she is very cold and uncaring of anyone or anything but her son Calum, Nikki's half brother played by Colin Morgan. Nikki's anger is palpable, but she manages to keep most of it hidden. You can't help but feel for Nikki despite her wish to want her mother dead. Colin Morgan does a FANTASTIC job (also with a new, really convincing accent as well) as her strangely eccentric, head in the clouds half brother who wonders the cliffs near the seas. He shares fairy tales/folk stories with Nikki and shows her about the island, all while collecting little trinkets, bottles, shoes, whatever "treasures" he finds. He plays this part with so much honesty and adorable, child-like naivete he can't help but become your favorite of the movie. Natalie Press plays Nikki with so much stifled anger, yet clever manipulation you are actually with and behind her most of the way. However, how far will Nikki go to get the truth? This is a truly great movie, but it has some disturbing elements to it. So be aware, this should probably be viewed by adults only. Still, as a whole, I loved this movie and have watched it more than once. My particularly favorite part is the end and I might have that part set on replay! Should check this out, worth the buy! Review: MORE THAN WORTHWHILE TO WATCH - Colin Morgan gives a superb, sensitive, hauntingly beautiful performance, breathing life into the challenging role of Calum-an innocent, mentally/emotionally challenged character. Natalie Press gives a notable performance as Nikki, a severely disturbed young woman arriving at the Island, with the clandestine obsessive/compulsive determination to murderously revenge her abandonment as an infant. The interpersonal relationship between Calum and Nikki is masterfully portrayed; Janet McTeer is excellent in her secondary role. The darkly beautiful cinematography on-site in the Hebrides wonderfully matches the darkness of the story line and performs wonders on its very moderate budget. This film is far more than worthwhile to watch. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 109 Reviews | ## Images ![Island - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1BmHPdtJOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deep, Dark, Mysterious and Strangely Enchanting! *by J***H on July 5, 2013* This movie is about a young girl searching for her birth mother...and revenge.

This film is far more than worthwhile to watch. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Coin Morgan delivers again *by T***R on August 21, 2013* This was a lot darker than I expected and they left one major part of the show rather ambiguous which makes it disturbing. Wonderful acting on the part of Colin Morgan, of course. I would never call it a fairy tale. Natalie Press also did a good job playing her part. I am not familiar with her as an actress; I bought this so I could watch Colin Morgan, to scrutinize his talent. The setting is perfect in making this a dark and foreboding film. Overall, if you like dark, psychological thrillers, this movie won't disappoint you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/13563916-island](https://www.desertcart.at/products/13563916-island) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
