An Exercise In Nonsense
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
View MoreWe have all heard about this movie, but lets drop the act and talk about why we really want to see this: Tom Logan...The film begins in Connecticut (I know I'm sorry, but try to soldier on). The audience is then taken through a journey, which is as memorable as Citizen Cane and as tasteful as European Porn.This film shares great similarities with the Godfather, except for the plot, the quality of the acting, the budget, the reviews, the scope, the drama, and the overall ability of everyone involved.I would caution audiences against the violence in addition to the graphic graphic graphic sexuality (all of which involves Tom Logan, sometimes even just by himself). Linda Blair from the Exorcist commented that, "This is messed up! Seriously! Way too disturbing for film! I mean come on, it's Tom Logan!" So if you're looking for a warm family film to take the kids to, I would highly recommend this for people of all ages. However, if you take your wife she will leave you for Tom Logan...it will happen.
View MoreFrom the opening shot of the meteor falling towards Earth, you know you're in for something special.This is an ultra-low budget shot on video movie about a group of teens stranded on a lighthouse island with some monsters. The story is unremarkable and nothing you haven't seen a thousand times before. The acting isn't great but isn't completely horrible, however the special effects - of which there are a good deal - are laughable at best. In fact, if you can read this sentence, chances are better than 50% that you could do a more credible job creating the video explosion and compositing effects in this movie than the filmmakers.The movie's saving grace - if you're in the mood for a grade Z turkey of a film - is that there's always something happening and it never gets boring. And if you like making fun of bad movies with your friends, you might just find this worth a dollar rental.And I must say I appreciated the opening joke, "that is the dumbest name for an island I've ever heard." Probably the best moment in the movie.
View MoreThis has got to be the WORSE move I've EVER seen!!!!! It was not only boring, it was "gag me with a spoon" dumb. Where'd ya find the actors ... on a street corner? Who did the special effects...Maaco? For God's sakes I could have made a better movie with my CELL PHONE. And if that wasn't bad enough, you even had extras at the end of the movie so we could see just how stupid the actors are in real life. Who ever did the makeup for the aliens...must have spent $5 at your local used costume store and called it a day. And who in the world wrote up the movie description on the back of the DVD case should be shot. PUHLEEZ!! It's not even 1/8 % of what it is described as. That description is just to suck people in to buying, renting or paying a ticket to see it. No wonder there was never a trailer to it....ya would have drove them all away!!!!!!!Bad Actors...$5 Special Effects...$5.50 Fake Fire....$1.89 (cigarette lighter) Time Spent Watching This Movie....total waste! (I should sue ya for my time watching it)
View MoreThe kind of B-movies from the 1950's that were schlocky yet so much fun are to what Predator Island pays homage. Filmed in Connecticut, Predator Island is set on an island called with a lighthouse Hell's Beacon which is inhabited by only the couple who tends the lighthouse. In typical 1950's sci-fi fashion after a half dozen young adults crash their boat into the island's rocky shore hideous creatures from outer space invade the island after a meteor hits nearby. The creatures start both inhabiting the bodies of their victims as well as devouring them. Lots of cursing and lame comebacks are the primary form of dialogue in this movie. It is so hokey that you just have to laugh at times. If you are looking for a movie that is stupid, but in a fun way, then this one fits the bill. Interesting note: I appear in the film as a dead body in the far background of the final scene. During filming they needed about 50 extras, yet around 300 people showed up for the opportunity. They eventually used nearly 200 of them.
