just watch it!

Awesome Movie

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

this is one of those films that has now become a bit of a cult classic if you're a fan of cannibals and zombies though there are hardly any zombies to speak of in this film. early eighties fodder when zombies and cannibals were the big thing to hit cinema and studios were churning them out like they were going out of style. there's a lot to like here and laugh at too. while current technology and special effects hold nothing to good old-fashioned man made gore effects, it's also laughable. i give you the fine example of a medical student who is discovered by the head of medicine to be tampering with the dead bodies that are to be used for dissection in classes. upon being found out, he takes a jump out of a three or four storey window and lands on the pavement below. what makes it so much more enjoyable is the fact that when he hits the pavement his arm pops of which clearly shows a dummy being thrown. the next shot shows the body perfectly intact. funny stuff. the in-famous propellerhead scene is also shown here. Iain McCullough's character and his assistant are trying to figure a way of getting off the island and come across a small boat. trying to get the engine started, they are unaware that they are not alone. what appears to be a zombie..a poorly made up one i might add approaches them. with quick thinking, Iain takes the propellerhead and literally turns the zombie into dinner. yes, it's a cheaply shot film but it's also a lot of fun it you don't take it too seriously and take it for what it is.
