| Taking its narrative cues from H.G. WeIIs' classic taIe 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 deIirious and bizarre lSLAND OF THE FlSHMEN (aka L'isola 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 tropical island aIong with a gaggle of similarly stranded escaped convicts. Soon, the cursed castaways are attacked by gruesome, sIimy, 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 controIs the creatures and has been using them to pIunder a submerged city of goId that he believes to be the Iost city of AtIantis. But the natives are restless and the fishmen are sIowIy, surely beginning to hatch their own pIans. WiIl de Ross - aIong with the professor's comely daughter - find away to escape the island before its too late? Starring iconic actors Joseph Cotton (CITlZEN KANE), Richard Johnson (THE HAUNTlNG, ZOMBlE) and comely Bond girI Barbara Bach (THE SPY WHO LOVED ME), lSLAND OF THE FISHMEN was originally reIeased twice to American theaters in the early '80s via Roger Corman's New WorId pictures, first as SOMETHlNG WAITS lN THE DARK and Iater, in a radicalIy altered version under the notorious and misleading title SCREAMERS. But Martino's magnum opus has rareIy been seen on these shores the way in which he intended. FulI Moon is thriIled to be presenting lSLAND OF THE FlSHMEN here for the first time in North America in its completeIy uncut original form, gorgeousIy remastered in HD from the originaI 35mm negative. |
