(The Duchess's climactic moment, which comes out of left field, is hilariously absurd.) Moreover, I found Emma Roberts too mousy she never convinces as a willful heroine, and I don't think she has the magnetism to anchor a thriller – at least not this one. (For example, why isn't Uma at all skeptical when she suddenly finds her forbidden boyfriend working on the island?) Its take on sexism and patriarchy is juvenile, its sci fi machinations labored. Its contrived twists sort of come together at the end, but along the way they play out only as plot holes. (Like director Alice Waddington, the crew is 100% Spanish the film was shot on Gran Canaria.) But the screenplay, by Waddington, hit-and-miss Spanish filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo ( Colossal), and American novelist Brian DeLeeuw, is a mess.
Paradise Hills has an interesting look, thanks to production designer Laia Colet and costume designer Alberto Valcárcel. You already know that any place called Paradise has to have a dark side, so while the plot slowly churns, we impatiently await the reveal of The Duchess's true intentions. Here Uma and her fellow students/captives, including characters played by Danielle Macdonald, Mexican actress/singer Eiza González, and a woefully underused Awkwafina, were subjected to treatments both benign and bizarre, under the tutelage of a glamorous headmistress known only as The Duchess (Milla Jovovich). The film then flashes back in time a couple of months, to show us just how Uma got to this point.Īs it turns out, Uma was actually an unruly upper class girl who, having refused to give up her working class boyfriend and marry for money, was shipped off to an island resort called Paradise, a hi-tech charm school for misfit society ladies. A docile young woman named Uma (Emma Roberts) is the bride, and as she sings a vow of wifely obedience to her rich, smug groom, we're immediately clued into Paradise Hills' heavy-handed brand of feminism. The evil Duchess became confused and couldn't figure out which Uma was real, and the distraction was enough to allow the real Uma to take out her scalpel and slash the Duchess' throat, killing her instantly.Paradise Hills opens with a lavish wedding in the distant future: based on the hair and wardrobe, you could imagine this story unfolding amongst The Hunger Games' Capital City elite. The villainess moved towards Uma, only for Uma's replicant, named Anna, to appear and claim that she is the real Uma. Uma later finds Chloe wrapped around vines that were suffocating her, only for the "vines" to be revealed as the Duchess, who had been feeding off the girls and had done the same to Chloe. Yu fatally succumbs to the injuries caused by the surgeons, with Chloe and Uma escaping and ending up at a garden, where bodies of past Paradise girls are discovered. During the rescue, Uma and Chloe take down a group of the Duchess' henchmen and realize Paradise's true plan: they were making replicants of the girls, with the reformed version of Amarna being one of them. She also showed Uma video of a reformed Amarna, but suspecting that something was off, Uma took Chloe and Yu to escape, only for Yu to be taken by orderlies and operated on.

Uma awoke and encountered the Duchess, who revealed that she had been asleep for two full weeks, after which she informed Uma that she could leave on the following day.
