Review of Island of the Dead (2000) by Al M — 08 Oct 2011
For starters, if you are expecting a zombie film, then you will be totally disappointed as I was. Island of the Dead features a somewhat promising premise about the desolate island where unclaimed bodies from NYC are buried.
Somehow, the the film got Mos Def to not only act in but also offer music for the film. Plus, Malcolm McDowell's in it.....Ultimately, the film never quite makes sense as it opens like a television series about missing persons, becomes a film about corporate takeovers of mass graveyards, and then becomes a bizarre kind of creature-feature in which mutant flies turn people into the lamest zombies ever.
A real piece of crap from beginning to end, Island of the Dead thinks it is way cooler and artistic than it is.....
