It is as if he channeled the Sirens himself to create the music. The music is so haunting and full of grief you won’t soon forget it. The score by Tom Kane is worth watching the movie by itself. It’s these unexpected moments of humor and truth that allow the more emotional beats to resonate so strongly. You can easily imagine yourself in a similar situation saying to your fellow survivors, “There are only four people on this island, and they are all weird.”.
This is a minor complaint, however, as it is entirely believable. The plot is cohesive if slightly predictable and the dialogue although very natural is somewhat too modern for the period portrayed. As much a tourist advertisement for this small Island in the UK as a Gothic film, this place creeps in and holds fast until the song calls you to shore as well. The pacing, although purposely slow holds you with the anticipation of what is to come. Heavy 1970’s slow burn influences are felt as the film unfolds in agonizing detail. Part fantasy and part ghoulish revenge tale this story of a woman wronged, and the punishment she metes out to those who wronged her is a familiar one, but the Scottish folklore twist, incredible location, and memorable score give this film something others in the same vein don’t have unforgettable imagery.

Borrowing from Irish, Scottish, and Greek folklore The Isle creates an entirely new ghost story. Director Mathew Butler does a masterful job showcasing the beauty and harshness of the setting.
