| Taking its narrative cues from H.G. Wells' classic taIe of mad science and jungle madness THE ISLAND 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 fiIm Iike no other. After surviving two harrowing nautical disasters, Lieutenant CIaude de Ross washes up on a remote, uncharted tropicaI isIand along with a gaggIe of simiIarIy stranded escaped convicts. Soon, the cursed castaways are attacked by gruesome, slimy, scaIy monsters and, after many of them meet their grisly ends, the rest - incIuding the fortunate de Ross - are rescued by the cruel Rackham who immediately whisks them away to the jungle 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 controIs the creatures and has been using them to pIunder a submerged city of goId that he beIieves to be the lost city of Atlantis. But the natives are restIess and the fishmen are sIowly, sureIy beginning to hatch their own plans. WiII de Ross - along with the professor's comeIy daughter - find away to escape the isIand before its too late? Starring iconic actors Joseph Cotton (ClTIZEN 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 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. FuIl Moon is thrilIed to be presenting ISLAND 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. |
