Watch: Paradise Hills 2019 123movies, Full Movie Online – In an undetermined future, society has divided into two sub-types: upper-class or “Uppers”, and the rest of the world, mid and lower-class, named “Lowers”. Uma is a privileged young woman who is adamantly against marrying another Upper, named Son. Instead, she falls in love with a working class young man named Markus. She is thus sent to Paradise Hills, a school for young ladies located in a remote island in the middle of the ocean. Waking up in Paradise not knowing how she arrived there, she soon meets other students: Amarna, a pop-star who was sent after she decided to sing her own songs against the will of the company that controls her records. Chloe, a plus-sized young lady those parents want to turn thin and compliant. And Yu, a Lower who was sent by her aunt and uncle after refusing to inherit her family business. Uma then meets the eccentric Duchess, Paradise Hills’ headmaster. She tries to convince Uma to marry up, just as her mother wants her to. Uma soon suspects a hidden purpose behind all the facility’s luxuries. Its elegant staging and the daily sessions of make-up, hairdressing, good manners and therapy are not working on any of her classmates, either. While Amarna and Uma concoct a plan to escape; the latter becomes shocked when Markus appears as part of the Paradise Hills’ staff. Amarna, who had started to feel attracted to Uma, feels bitter about this. Finally, alerted by Amarna about their dinners being laced with a sleep-inducing substance, Uma manages to investigate Paradise Hills at night. Discovering the bone-chilling truth: the island is a giant control room to analyze the students’ behavior and appearance, in order to be replicated by Lower women, hired to replace the Uppers after the original women are killed. With time running against her, Uma and the rest of her girl gang must find a way to survive before they are up next..
Plot: A young woman is sent to Paradise Hills to be reformed, only to learn that the high-class facility’s beautiful facade hides a sinister secret.

Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.This is (almost) a spiritual successor to “The Island”, and in most respects is about as good. There are certain aspects that under cut the aspects that make it good, but I can’t mention them without ruining the movie before you watch it.
The oddest bit (not said lightly) is honestly the mix of the cast. Milla Jojovich and Emma Roberts are proven entities that could carry a movie (fairly easily), but then there are also Danielle Macdonald (“Birdbox”) and Awkwafina (“Jumanji: The Next Level”) neither of which give a good performance or do I consider quality actors.
I’m not sure higher quality actors would serve the movie any better. Any real problems are in the script itself. The movie has a ridiculously high production value as it is intended to represent the overly wealthy.
There is a great little mystery / survival story here, but I’m not sure it will endure through multiple watches.
I think _Paradise Hills_ was almost good, and it’s disappointing that it fell short of actually achieving that. Of course, it was almost crap too, so dodging that by the skin of its teeth is good, though not exactly high praise._Final rating:★★½ – Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
Looks nice
Oddly I just watched Level 16 last week and there are massive similarities between the two. Main juxtaposition being that this is set in a visually stunning fantasy world, while Level 16 is very bland and sterile. Problem with this film is that between the setup and getting anywhere there’s a weak romance plot coupled with weak character development. I really couldn’t care what happened in this film.
Pretty to look at
This movie was very pretty to look at, but beneath it the plot was very simple. A young woman named Uma ( Emma Roberts) doesn’t want to marry the guy who led to her Father’s suicide so her fiance and mother send her to an island to correct her defiance and make her more obedient. She meets other young women too who families and associates send them there to mold them into their image. Arnama (Gonzales),a pop star,who wants to control her music. An obese woman named Chloe (McDonald) whose family want her to be skinner. An Asian woman named Yu (Awkwafina) who family want her to act proper or faces being disowned. She also has a cute love interest named Markus (Jeremy Irvine) who conveniently gets a job on the island. And of course Milla Jovovich as The Duchess is very beautiful. Yet it’s pretty to look at but there’s nothing there but feminist propaganda, LBGT agenda, toxic masculinity, and other SJW tropes. It’s a simple movie about rich women feeling forced to be someone they’re not, so their families send them there to be rehabilitated. Whether their families know it’s a program to study their loved ones mannerisms so poor young woman can get plastic surgery to look exactly like them and replace them in their individual lives. And after the ladies are done been studied and having their identity stolen, The Duchess turns out to be an evil snake or succubus who eats them. Why I don’t know since everything gets reveal in the last twenty minutes with no explanation. Markus turns out to be the bad guy and a part of the scheme because he’s weak and a man. Arnama is hinted to have feelings for Uma and this is confirmed when Arnama kisses Uma goodbye on her final night on the island. Every man except Uma’s dead father is bad in this movie. Markus did one redeeming good thing and that’s it. The deaths of two of the children were dumb. If Uma and Chloe’s process were complete and they were still alive, why not just wait until they were finish processing Yu? And Uma was so busy looking around and staring at a dead Arnama that she literally let Chloe die? The Duchess’ death and reveal was so anticlimactic and ridiculous. Yet, the final scene was a nice reward after the confusing opening scene. I also like the nice twist on classicsm with their replacements. It wasn’t a horrible movie but it was kinda all over the place and the third act could’ve been more interesting but it seemed rushed through. Wasn’t a horrible movie but it could have been better. Overall, a pretty movie to look at about a not so far off dystopian world about affluent women being copied, killed off, and being replaced into their loved one’s ideal version of them.
