Most Beautiful Island
Directed by Ana Asensio
MOST BEAUTIFUL ISLAND is a psychological thriller set in the world of undocumented female immigrants hoping to make a life in New York City. Shot on Super 16mm with an intimate, voyeuristic sensibility, MOST BEAUTIFUL ISLAND chronicles one harrowing day in the life of Luciana, a young immigrant woman struggling to make ends meet while striving to escape her past. As Luciana's day unfolds, she is whisked, physically and emotionally, through a series of troublesome and unforeseeable extremes. Before her day is done, she inadvertently finds herself a central participant in a cruel game where lives are placed at risk, and psyches are twisted and broken for the perverse entertainment of a privileged few.
An undocumented woman struggling in NYC is offered an opportunity she can’t refuse, but soon discovers she’s involved in a dangerous game.
Cast: Ana Asensio, Natasha Romanova, Nicholas Tucci, Larry Fassenden, Caprice Benedetti

I loved it. Imagine watching an independent A24 film then shifts into a high gear of suspense to conclude the story. Not for the cheap thrills type, but for a good quality story thats worth the wait.
wow wow, this movie was so good!! definitely not a high-action slasher-type horror movie, but a lot of suspense and meditation on doing what you gotta do to get by... the final scene on the bridge almost made me cry. good stuff
As a horror film this movie did not deliver at all. suspense built up for the least creative, anticlimactic and dry climax I could have imagined. it just turned into an episode of fear factor. skip this if you looking for some kind of horror
