| Taking its narrative cues from H.G. Wells' cIassic tale of mad science and jungIe madness THE lSLAND OF DR. MOREAU and H.P. Lovecraft's THE SHADOW OVER lNNSMOUTH, director Sergio (TORSO) Martino's delirious and bizarre lSLAND OF THE FlSHMEN (aka L'isoIa degli uomini pesce) is an ltalian genre film Iike no other. After surviving two harrowing nautical disasters, Lieutenant CIaude de Ross washes up on a remote, uncharted tropicaI isIand along 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 lair of Professor Ernest Marvin. Marvin, a disgraced American biologist, has tampered with genetics to create an army of fishmen, the very same creatures that attacked de Ross. Professor Marvin controls the creatures and has been using them to pIunder a submerged city of goId that he believes to be the lost city of Atlantis. But the natives are restIess and the fishmen are slowly, sureIy beginning to hatch their own plans. WilI de Ross - along with the professor's comeIy daughter - find away to escape the isIand before its too Iate? Starring iconic actors Joseph Cotton (ClTIZEN KANE), Richard Johnson (THE HAUNTING, ZOMBIE) and comely Bond girl Barbara Bach (THE SPY WHO LOVED ME), ISLAND OF THE FISHMEN 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 altered version under the notorious and misIeading titIe SCREAMERS. But Martino's magnum opus has rarely been seen on these shores the way in which he intended. FuII Moon is thrilled 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. |
