an anonymous review posted at www.blackhorrormovies.com raises questions about the portrayals of race and ethnicity in the film. the reviewer notes that all the movie's "heroes" are white, despite the film being set on a caribbean island. the reviewer continues "colonial racial hierarchy is in full effect: all of the helpers are black and latino (although it's funny to see the very white extras filling in the background in group scenes of supposedly black and/or latino villagers)."
