I somewhat guessed the killer too, which is almost inevitable in these things. TO be fair, though, I think they hinted at so many possibilities that whoever the killer ended up being, you could have looked back and said 'ya, I thought so'. I don't see that as a detriment per se, but rather part of the fun in these murder mystery type things.
The motivation for the killings though really peeves me. It makes no sense, or if it does, they didn't explain it to my liking.
I still enjoyed it and thought it was good summer viewing.

I don't know, I think it was decent. I mean what else can they do in a show (movie) like this, how do you come up with a "good" reason to kill off 2 dozen people?
There were 2 keys IMO: to get her on the island (she wouldnt go there if they just started dating normaly, so he needed to come up with a plan how to get her there and he did) and the island had to be "vacated" - because as kids they wished to live on the island alone.
Mystery thrillers/slashers are never going to get satisfactory endings/explanations. I like the genre and I kind of gave up on expectations that the revelation of the killer and/or his motives will floor me with originality and how well thought out they are. I enjoy the movie (or a show in this case) for 80 minutes knowing the last 10 will suck. Still it beats the crap out of 95% of what else is out there.
