Review of Lord of the Flies (1963) by Jluis_001 — 10 May 2022
The scariest aspect of the story as told by the book, and in this case the film, is how little it takes to jump right into the void of anarchy and chaos.
Sure, Lord of the Flies is mostly a tale of innocence lost, but it's more disturbing when you think that it's their very innocence what stopped them from greater evil.
It's never pleasant when the true nature of man is revealed.
Even for the time of this film's release, the impact of the message is not at all diluted.
The performances are really unremarkable, none of the guys do anything special. The spotlight belongs to the story and for this film that's all that matters.
