Fear Island is a 2009 made-for-TV slasher film starring Haylie Duff, Aaron Ashmore and Lucy Hale. Police find a 19-year-old woman, Jenna, on a private island with all her friends murdered. When brought in for questioning, she explains that she and her friends had been spending the weekend at the house on the island, owned by two of the boys. After one night, upon waking up they find the ferryman dead and the boat gone, leaving them trapped on the island knowing they aren't alone.

Spiritual Successor

comment
Spiritual Successor: It was clearly inspired by the British thriller The Hole starring Thora Birch and Keira Knightley, which also deals with a young woman who is the only survivor after a weekend party and who also turns out to be lying to the police.

Cast as a Mask: Played with. Lucy Hale and Haylie Duff turn out to have swapped roles at the end. Lucy is Jenna and Haylee is Megan.

comment
Women Are Wiser: The female forensic scientist is a lot calmer and more rational than the male detective, who is brash and aggressive.

comment
Hourglass Plot: A small case, but initially the female officer believes Jenna while the male officer is convinced that Jenna is the killer. Eventually, they swap viewpoints, meaning that they're both right.

Ms. Fanservice: Ashley, who's introduced wearing a cleavage-bearing top, and she spends much of her screentime in a bikini. Taken to the next level as she's drowning in boiling water.

Incest Subtext: There's rather a lot between the brothers Tyler and Kyle and it's even implied they had a threesome with another girl. They were both shown sleeping in the same bed with her anyway.
