Review of Isle of the Damned (2008) by Justin P — 14 Jun 2010
If you've ever watched Cannibal Holocaust or any of the other Italian made cannibal exploitation flicks of the 70's and 80's you'll LOVE this film.
The film is a send up of that sub genre of horror film, complete with "scratches" on the film and purposely bad dubbing. For example, the main character is a white guy with blond hair, a mustache and wears aviators (that he seems to NEVER take off) the "dubbed" voice they gave him, sounds like a black guy with a really deep voice (think Barry White level deep) and the rest of the cast are just as ridiculous with equally as silly voices.
Being a cannibal themed movie, it does have violence and gore...but it's like early Peter Jackson level gore...which is still pretty gory. LOL.
It's clear that the director was trying to make this film more of a comedy by making it an homage to that genre of film even giving the name of the director a nod to Itilian horror "Antonello Giallo".
If you like your films gory, and VERY cheezy...you'll love this film...I can't even tell you how much I laughed throughout this whole film...Check it out!
