Do You Remember THE ISLAND (1980) 8:30pm, November 6, 2009
Anyone else remember THE ISLAND (1980), starring Michael Caine as a father who travels down to the Caribbean with his son, only to be kidnapped by pirates and held captive, while the leader, played by weird David Warner, brainwashes his son and turns him against him? The Island was ripped a new asshole upon its release, having disappointed a lot of Jaws fans who expected more from something tagged with Peter Benchley's name, and this took it in and out of theaters quick - leaving it behind nearly without a trace.
You can keep your Johnny Depp and Pirates of the Caribbean - Ill take The Island over it anyday. This film just feels more realistic - just as Martin is perhaps my most favored vampire film (I despise that whole romanticism and general gayness of "sexy" suffering vampires). I cant put my finger on it critique-wise and put it into words well enough to explain, as I haven't seen it in a long time - but I think its an awesome, underrated, kick-ass horror/action film. Anyone else remember?
