Island of Death – The Film Debate

[Nosferatu@Cult Labs]

What do you think of Island of Death? Did it deserves to be on the DVDs list of 'video nasties' or was it a film that was caught up in the hysteria? How do you feel about the 'goat love' scene and how do you rate the direction and overall filmmaking?

Please note that this section is only for discussing the film – when the DVD is released another will be available for you to discuss technical merits.

Me too, loved it for being so tasteless and hilarious.

Crazy film released at the right time to be caught up in the Video Nasty silliness.....

Forever famous as a result!

I can see why it was caught up in the nasties bullshit,but now it's hilarious!

How many times did it have the audience in uproar at it's Glasgow screening Stephen?

I really wish I could have gone to the Glasgow screening...

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Some of the dialogue in the film is classic!

So do I as they sound like cracking events in which like-minded people can meet up and watch the films they all love -- a great night all round!

Lost count! Don't think i've even seen a comedy get such a response. Everyone should see the film with an audience.
