| Alrighty. I'm the type of guy who likes a variety of movies. I like exploitation all the way to really deep soulful movies. I'm sure the folks at HKFlix wonder what I'm going to order next, be it from "The Return" to "Island of Death".
So why did I buy "Island of Death"? Well, because it was made out to be so shocking...so revolting...so full of blood, booty, and exploitation...hell, who wouldn't want to own this piece of history?
Well I'm glad I bought it, I can scare some of my friends and ex's with it...but ya know, they might laugh sometimes too. Yes laugh...no matter how exploitive this flick gets, it has some unintentional funny moments too. Like the cop and the plane.
Pure unadulterated laughter was heard from my room while I was watched this bit.
And I know the director didn't mean this, he even states this in the extras...but given his budget and the year this was made...yes, there are going to be some funny bits. and naughty bits. and gross bits.
So would I buy it again? Sure. Can I recommend this? To hardcore horror fans yes, to exploitive fans yes, to bad film fans yes, and to the curious...very much yes. |
