Director: Philippe Martinez
A private security detail, an isolated island, and a rescue mission that turns into a fight for survival — that's the setup driving Black Noise, a 2023 action-horror-thriller from director Philippe Martinez.
What is Black Noise about?
When a VIP goes missing on a remote, privately controlled island, an elite team is sent in to extract them fast and quietly. The extraction doesn't stay quiet for long: something on the island is hunting the team as much as they're hunting for their target, and the mission collapses into a scramble to get off the island alive before the sinister presence closes every exit. Running 86 minutes, the film moves at a tight clip, stacking action beats against a creeping sense that the group is badly outmatched by whatever they've walked into.
Cast & crew
Jackson Rathbone and Alex Pettyfer lead the security team as the film's central pair, with Eve Mauro, Ashton Leigh, and Wayne Gordon filling out the unit sent to the island. Sadie Newman, Thomas Downey, and Niki Spiridakos round out the supporting roles. The cast skews toward familiar genre-film faces rather than a single marquee lead, matching a film that spreads its danger across the whole team instead of centering on one hero.
Context & significance
Black Noise sits at the crossing point of three genres — action, horror, and thriller — and 2023 saw a steady stream of similarly hybrid, island-and-isolation setups from independent production houses. Its 3.1 IMDb rating places it firmly in B-movie territory, the kind of film built for viewers chasing fast pacing and genre thrills over polish. If you're in the mood for a lean, no-frills survival-horror premise rather than a prestige pick, it fits that specific craving.
