Grand Isle

During a dangerous storm, a troubled married couple lures a young man into their creaking Victorian house hoping to ride out the hurricane. Walter, a volatile presence played with uneasy restraint by Nicolas Cage, and Fancy, his wary wife, see a chance to manipulate a stranger for something they want. As rain hammers the roof and the power flickers, hidden motives surface and the house becomes a pressure chamber where trust dissolves. The visitor, wary and desperate, finds himself drawn into a dangerous game where every offer and accusation could be a trap. When a detective arrives pursuing a murder charge, the stakes rise and the truth slips into dangerous shadows.

Released in 2019, Grand Isle was directed by Stephen S Campanelli from an original screenplay by Rich Ronat and Iver William Jallah, with Nicolas Cage starring opposite KaDee Strickland and Luke Benward.

The film leans into a tight, psychological thriller mood, exploring power dynamics within a troubled marriage and the moral cost of self preservation. Critics noted Cage's intense on screen presence and the claustrophobic setting, while some found the pacing uneven.
