Islands

Islands (2025) is a slow-burn thriller from director Jan Ole Gerster, ready to watch online on iFILM. Sam Riley plays Tom, a washed-up tennis pro killing time as a coach at a sun-bleached resort — feeding balls to bored guests by day, drinking through the nights.

The routine cracks when one family checks in. One of the new arrivals, an enigmatic tourist played by Stacy Martin, leaves Tom certain he has met her before. Attraction builds, and so does unease. Then her husband vanishes without a trace, and the police start looking hard at the coach. Shot across a German-British production under a merciless sun, the film turns a holiday paradise into a closing trap.

Gerster, who made the wry Berlin portrait Oh Boy, trades big-city irony for the heavy quiet of an island where everyone has something to hide. There is no chase here, just glances, silences and a story that keeps you guessing who is lying. Stream Islands (2025) online on iFILM.
