Harpers Island Note: this is a spoiler blog
During the devastating typhoon last weekend (here in Manila), well as i had no choice but to stay home, i decided to finish off watching the remaining un-televised episodes of Harpers Island (episodes 7 to 13)... and wow! was i thrilled!!! After a rather typical first 4 episodes and picking up on episodes 5 to 7, episodes 8 until the last, will actually make you appreciate the effort of the writers and director(s) and of course the actors who didnt know the end until the scripts were given to them (or until their character was killed off). Although the show already ended in other countries and the killer/s already revealed in hundreds of blogs, sites and even wikipedia, i resisted reading them as i wanted to be surprised...and indeed i was surprised!!!
Spoilers : Well by episodes 10 - 11, you already feel and eventually find out that John Wakefield is indeed alive!!! and is the killer!!!???? but whoa!!!, episode 12 shows us that Henry (the failed groom-to-be) is his son!! and was the one actually doing the killing!!! even killing his younger brother JD, wtf!!! :) nice twist though!!! specially the moment that Trish ran to him and as the camera pans, it shows him stabbing (or has stabbed) his fiance!!! again, very nice twist!!!
Although, the tv by-line says that one is killed every episode, Booth was not technically killed by JW or Henry but hi death was self-inflicted and Chloe committed suicide...
Though a flop in the Sattes, I still included this show in my top8 who-dunnit-slasher-with-a-twist films...
