afq2846 Upon reading about this film I wanted to see it. It was a horror film with gore galore and more importantly it was banned!! So I watch the film and found it boring and not very gory at all. Yes I know this is a low budget film but I meber thought wow that low. The "gore" scenes are shot with such low grade special effects it made me wonder why was this banned. Ok ok I get it there are some weird scenes here like having sex with a goat ( sounds worse then it is. By todays horror standards the scenes was very tame and more silly then anything). Being film in the european style there is nudity galore but overall that is the only thing you can say that is over the top. The film is poorly acted filmed directed with laughable dialoque and piss poor special effects. Yes the film was to make money off of violence but to me its more silly then anything. The script being written in a week shows. To me unless you have 100 minutes of your life to waste this is a must skip. Very overrated low budget crappy film.

Scott Jacobs I don't really quite fully understand what I have just viewed. This film was stupid and rubbish. I'm a big lover of the 'video nasties' and have done a lot of research into this film. I watched it expecting some good cheap thrills but got nothing. Not even good camera shots or any plot. Nothing. Just an annoying couple going round some Greek island murdering random people.I know that thats the plot and all but damn it wasn't even that notorious in my opinion. Yes i can see why it was banned but not once did it make me cringe or feel disgusted. I even watched the uncut version on the horror channel, but just weren't feeling it. I just didn't understand the motives behind it. PLUS the acting is just god awful. I mean the British accent the actress uses reminds me of Austin Powers. Was hilarious and killed any factor of any fear or fright.RIGHT HERES SOME SPOILERS SO IF YOUR STILL GOING TO WATCH THE FILM DON'T READ ON ************SPOILERS************* OK well the deaths in this film were poor. They were too tame for a film that is known for his shocking content! some guy gets sliced up which you don't see, only the aftermath, guy gets hanged which looks terrible sfx, head gets shot but only see brains splatter against the wall for like a millisecond or so. Best death is some women gets her head taken off with some big pusher thing...even then its not amazing.So much sex in this film its ridiculous! Every second someones being done and most of the time its allowed! Like two rape scenes i think which are terribly acted, it doesn't deliver the shock and disturbed feeling you get from viewing that content.Just basically if you like video nasties and wanna watch something thats really gonna make you disturbed, steer clear of this piece of rubbish. Doesn't deliver and seems very comical.There's like a pelican that knocks about and i swear to god, he is the real killer and main character. Best part of the film.Its a great movie, don't watch it.

Bezenby Yep, fun for all the family, if your family consisted of trash-hungry, drunk adults with VERY open minds.Island of Death - where do I begin. Never mind crap like the Devil Rejects - THIS is true excess, all played out with a healthy dose of humour.A nice, all American couple arrive on a Greek island and take in the sights, walking around arm in arm and doing what other couples do, namely humping in a telephone box while the guy's mother listens in horror on the other end of the phone. Well, we've all been there, but only around half of us would force ourselves on a goat the next morning.This film is truly a catalogue of brutal acts carried out on innocent bystanders, all set on a picturesque Greek island. The murderous couple carve their way through gay couples, horny pensioners, French beatniks, and a couple of terrible actors pretending to be hippies. Not only that, but you got a bit of twist ending which involves a goat herder farting towards an inert body in disdain.Honestly, if you're looking for offensive trash, this is a much better place to start than crap like Last House on the Left and I Spit On Your Grave. At least here the director seems to have his tongue firmly in his cheek. I'd say in fact that he's having some sort of dig at the hippy culture. Why else would he include those ear-piercing flower ballads? Island of Death is sadly cut by about four minutes in the UK, but to be honest with you it still manages to be totally outrageous. Definitely one to track down!

BA_Harrison Island of Death, Nico Mastorakis' much-banned exploitation horror, sees a pair of sadistic lovers, Christopher and Celia (played by Robert Behling and the lovely Jane Lyle), travel to Mykonos where they proceed to punish anyone they deem to be perverted, a definite case of 'the pot calling the kettle black' since the murderous couple are easily the biggest deviants on the island: their numerous killings aside, Christopher calls his mother whilst having sex with Celia in a phone booth, Celia shags a French painter as Christopher watches from a distance, the couple masturbate over photographs of their victims, and a goat gets a good seeing to from Christopher when Celia turns hims down for nookie!On top of all of this, Mastorakis' delightfully trashy film also tackles such unsavoury subjects as rape (both female and male), drug abuse, incest, and water sports (and I'm not talking about scuba-diving and wake-boarding), offering oodles of nekkid flesh and soft-core humping in the process, making it perfect viewing for anyone who likes their entertainment to constantly challenge the boundaries of taste.Despite none of this dodgy content being overly explicit (and in the case of the goat sex, I've got to say that I'm rather glad!), the mere fact that the film even dared to explore these usually taboo themes qualified it for a place on the official DPP Video Nasties list during the 80s, and it is these high levels of extreme wrongness that still draws fans of such fare to seek out the title. The direction may be uninspired, the story not exactly riveting, and the gore rather tame, but I still recommend Island of Death simply for being so depraved.And if you don't believe me, the end of the film reveals that Christopher and Celia are actually brother and sister, which makes that phone call to their mother all the more indecent!
