Island of Blood Movie Review




Trailer here.

Island of Blood is a 1982 horror movie directed by William T. Naud and starring Marie-Alise Recasner and Rick Dean.

A movie cast are shooting a film on an island. They are Jim(Dean), Donna(Recasner), Betty(Bari Suber), Phil(Steven Tash), Lyn(Jeanine Marie), Taylor(Gary Phillips) and the director, Steve(Terry Goodman).There is a caretaker, Bert(Red McVay) who is the only one with a phone. The film is about a rock and roll band. Bert doesn't want them there. Phil is the first to die when he falls into a pool of boiling water. They hear music playing in the night. Taylor gets killed next. The deaths are following along with the song that is playing. Donna gets burned alive in the shower like the song says. The others wonder what has happened to their pals.


They lock themselves into their rooms. Jim goes looking for some weapons. Lyn finds Donna's body, The killer strikes again and soon Betty and Jim are left. Lyn dies. Jim thinks Betty is the killer and Betty thinks Jim is. Jim gets killed by someone. Betty survives. The cops think that it was Jim. Everything seems to be wrapped up until Betty catches Steve looking at the film of all the deaths. He has been making a death movie. She realises that he killed everyone. She shoots him.


There isn't much to this film. but it is fun. The killer is pretty obvious but it doesn't spoil the movie. 
I enjoyed it, even though it was low budget and I didn't really know any of the cast.  It's a middle of the road film with some okay scenes. Just don't expect too much. I give it a 4/10.
