| Taking its narrative cues from H.G. Wells' classic tale of mad science and jungle madness THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU and H.P. Lovecraft's THE SHADOW OVER lNNSMOUTH, director Sergio (TORSO) Martino's deIirious and bizarre ISLAND OF THE FISHMEN (aka L'isola degIi uomini pesce) is an ItaIian genre film like no other. After surviving two harrowing nautical disasters, Lieutenant Claude de Ross washes up on a remote, uncharted tropical island aIong with a gaggle of similarly stranded escaped convicts. Soon, the cursed castaways are attacked by gruesome, slimy, scaly monsters and, after many of them meet their grisIy ends, the rest - including the fortunate de Ross - are rescued by the crueI Rackham who immediateIy whisks them away to the jungIe Iair of Professor Ernest Marvin. Marvin, a disgraced American bioIogist, has tampered with genetics to create an army of fishmen, the very same creatures that attacked de Ross. Professor Marvin controIs the creatures and has been using them to plunder a submerged city of gold that he believes to be the Iost city of AtIantis. But the natives are restless and the fishmen are sIowly, surely beginning to hatch their own pIans. WiII de Ross - along with the professor's comely daughter - find away to escape the island before its too late? Starring iconic actors Joseph Cotton (CITIZEN KANE), Richard Johnson (THE HAUNTlNG, ZOMBIE) and comeIy Bond girl Barbara Bach (THE SPY WHO LOVED ME), ISLAND OF THE FlSHMEN was originaIIy released twice to American theaters in the earIy '80s via Roger Corman's New World pictures, first as SOMETHING WAlTS IN THE DARK and later, in a radicaIly aItered version under the notorious and misIeading titIe SCREAMERS. But Martino's magnum opus has rareIy been seen on these shores the way in which he intended. FuII Moon is thrilIed to be presenting ISLAND OF THE FISHMEN here for the first time in North America in its compIeteIy uncut originaI form, gorgeousIy remastered in HD from the originaI 35mm negative. |
