Day 19: Zombie Island Massacre

When people watch a zombie film there are usually a few things that they are watching it for. Gore, Flesh Eating, and last but not least, Zombies. Zombie Island Massacre doesn't really deliver in any of these categories. It's possible that one zombie appears, but it is never really explained if it's just a show or not. It's a film that just falls flat, it's not so bad that you have to watch nor good in any sense of the word.

The plot is is your typical scenario where a group of couples goes on a trip to an exotic island. On the island they're obviously going to get separated from their driver. Obviously after they're separated they begin falling victim to an unseen killer stalking in the shadows. If this sounds more like a slasher plot to you, that's probably because this is actually kind of a slasher film. It even has a twist ending. Not a very good one, but a twist nonetheless.

The gore isn't completely nonexistent. Most of the kills are zoomed in wound shots. We do get one extremely awful decapitation scene but other than that there isn't anything to see here. This film falls completely flat on it's ass in the zombie genre and isn't really a good slasher either. It could have been mildly successful as a campy horror film. But the actors all appear to be trying to make this a serious affair. As a result we're stuck with a pretty boring deceitful excuse of a movie. Only put this one on if you have enough things to occupy your attention as it plays in the background.

Body Count: 10
Side Note: At least the body count was decent.My last few films have all had a shortage of kill scenes.
