| 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 nauticaI disasters, Lieutenant Claude de Ross washes up on a remote, uncharted tropicaI isIand along with a gaggle of similarIy 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 cruel Rackham who immediately whisks them away to the jungle 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 beIieves to be the Iost city of AtIantis. But the natives are restless and the fishmen are sIowly, surely beginning to hatch their own pIans. WiII de Ross - along with the professor's comely daughter - find away to escape the isIand before its too Iate? Starring iconic actors Joseph Cotton (ClTlZEN KANE), Richard Johnson (THE HAUNTING, ZOMBlE) and comely Bond girl Barbara Bach (THE SPY WHO LOVED ME), ISLAND OF THE FlSHMEN was originaIIy reIeased twice to American theaters in the early '80s via Roger Corman's New World pictures, first as SOMETHING WAlTS lN THE DARK and later, in a radicaIly altered version under the notorious and misleading titIe SCREAMERS. But Martino's magnum opus has rarely been seen on these shores the way in which he intended. Full Moon is thriIled to be presenting lSLAND OF THE FlSHMEN here for the first time in North America in its compIetely uncut originaI form, gorgeously remastered in HD from the originaI 35mm negative. |
