Island of Death

[SaviniFan]

I just picked up a copy of Image's Island of Death at my local Boarders. I was wondering if anyone has seen this 1975 movie yet and I'd like to hear an opinion or 2 before I watch it. The packaging claims "The World's Most Widely Banned Movie". Was wondering if it can actually live up to such hype. :cool:

I was in Best Buy today and I almost bought Island of Death, but then I remembered that I had read varying opinions of the film, many of which suggest that it doesn't live up to its reputation. I ended up putting it back on the shelf, especially since there is apparently very little gore in the picture (so I've heard). I may still pick it up eventually, but some more opinions would be appreciated.:D

It's yicky, but not in a good way...:nervous:

[Atmims]

It's average. Not bad and not great. There is an old thread that has a lot of opinions on it and 'm pretty sure DefJeff did a review for the movie a while back. That's probably in the reviews section of the forum.

Wow, that film sure sucks alot :D

[DVD Connoisseur]

Yep, I heard it blew big time....
Still, it does have some fans! (Then again, even the worst films have their supporters so this isn't saying much!)

[Zodiac-Mindwarp]

My friend picked it up recently and thought it was pretty good, mostly because he seemed to like the chick in it.

I borrowed it from him and watched the first half, thought it was ok at best. Maybe I should borrow it back from him and finish it when I have some time.

[speanroc]

i like it ,it has real sleazy overtones.

it is definetly one of a kind

[SaviniFan]

Well, I got around to watching it last night and I must say I've got mixed feelings. I love the goofy soundtrack, and the sleaziness of it all is pretty cool, but the deaths are definitley dated. The shock value of this movie has obviously not held up well over the years. I do however think that if this movie was remade with today's gore technology (no I don't mean CGI) and maybe the budget of say....House of 1000 Corpses, it has potential to be potent today. Anyway, I'm kinda glad I've got it in my collection just for the uniqueness of it, and I doubt this is gonna be in print for very long.
