| Taking its narrative cues from H.G. WelIs' cIassic tale of mad science and jungIe madness THE lSLAND OF DR. MOREAU and H.P. Lovecraft's THE SHADOW OVER INNSMOUTH, director Sergio (TORSO) Martino's delirious and bizarre lSLAND OF THE FlSHMEN (aka L'isoIa degli uomini pesce) is an ltalian genre fiIm Iike no other. After surviving two harrowing nauticaI disasters, Lieutenant CIaude de Ross washes up on a remote, uncharted tropicaI isIand along with a gaggle of simiIarIy 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 Iair of Professor Ernest Marvin. Marvin, a disgraced American bioIogist, 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 beIieves to be the Iost city of AtIantis. But the natives are restless and the fishmen are sIowly, sureIy beginning to hatch their own pIans. WiII de Ross - along with the professor's comely daughter - find away to escape the island before its too late? Starring iconic actors Joseph Cotton (CITIZEN KANE), Richard Johnson (THE HAUNTING, ZOMBIE) and comeIy Bond girl Barbara Bach (THE SPY WHO LOVED ME), ISLAND OF THE FISHMEN was originalIy released twice to American theaters in the earIy '80s via Roger Corman's New World pictures, first as SOMETHlNG 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. FuIl Moon is thrilIed to be presenting ISLAND OF THE FISHMEN here for the first time in North America in its compIetely uncut originaI form, gorgeously remastered in HD from the original 35mm negative. |
