I have a feelingFantasy Islandis going to be a big hit. Every time I’ve seen a trailer for the film in theaters, the audience has gone wild – laughing and murmuring, but not in a mocking way. Everyone seems genuinely excited for this goofy-looking thing, and I can’t blame them – it looks fun. Sure, the idea of turningFantasy Island, the cheesy 1970s TV show starring Ricardo Montalbán and Hervé Villechaize, into a gory horror movie is a bit silly. But I’m digging the vibe here.
InFantasy Island, “the enigmatic Mr. Roarke makes the secret dreams of his lucky guests come true at a luxurious but remote tropical resort. But when the fantasies turn into nightmares, the guests have to solve the island’s mystery in order to escape with their lives.” The premise of having your wishes turn against you is nothing new – the classic taleThe Monkey’s Pawused this set-up, and so do the countlessWishmasterandLeprechaunfilms. But there looks to be enough style here to makeFantasy Islandworth checking out.
