Blumhouse's Fantasy Island

Fantasy Island is the worst movie I've ever seen, a crazy story is completely pathetic, nothing is saved in this mess.

Really don't know why the critics hate this so much. Sure it was never going to win an Oscar, but it had some new and interesting ideas. I enjoyed it, and I signed up to Rotten Tomatoes because of those merciless, and unfathomable critics reviews.

I get it’s silly but I never found myself hating it. It keeps my interest. It didn’t need a twist that one of guests is bad though. It’s like it suddenly thought it was a Scream movie.

not what I expected but not what I completely love at all but it was it was OK

Loved this movie!!! Great cast and plot.

Fantasy Island is a goofy, poorly directed film with terrible acting that could have balanced the tone of humor and horror but instead becomes laughable because it lost the film’s intended purpose. Nevertheless, it became a bit of a guilty fun factor for myself with the film’s embarrassing outcome. Grading: D+

Unless you're a fan of bad movies or movies that are so-bad-they're-good movies, i would avoid this one.

Fantasy Island - 5/10. Jeff Wadlow directs this reboot adaption of the famous tv series Fantasy Island. Unlike that tv show, this film goes for a more horror aspect, with mixed results. A random group of people arrive to Fantasy Island, where a mysterious man named Roarke (Michael Pena), grants each person their own fantasy. Though each person gets to live through with each fantasy, it might end up being more than they bargained for. This movie is bad, but it falls under the "junk food" category of films. Its not a good movie, but it entertains to a certain extent. The performances are okay (Maggie Q and Austin Stowell being the better performers in this). The visuals of the island are amazing, with lush greens and a very bright vibe, contrasting to the film's sinister plot. But outside of that, the film wavers a lot in trying to convey itself. There have been better stories which delve into people who have their deepest fantasies or lives be taunted with (Westworld and Cabin In The Woods doing this a lot better). The way the story unfolds, and the lukewarm ending, makes the pay off of watching the movie not worth it. Not to give a spoiler, but there is a twist on the twist that happens in the climax, and it doesn't work at all because of the performance of the eventual villain. If you watch this film for the sake of entertainment, it does okay and helps pass the time. Its nothing to write home about though.

Movies and TV shows that connect to people in their original body are a challenge when used in other projects, used to realign, reinvent, remake. The originals often have strong thoughts, feelings from watchers. This movie, in parts, seemed like a parody and a disconnect, which threw me from wondering if trying to scare or elicit laughs, or humor horror comedy. Which can be the case with this studio, unpredictability in many parts, moving in various directions getting way out of control, similar to say, Jordan Peele (whose movies I love but feel a bit thrown around visually while watching) and I tend to be more linear, sequential in plots, visuals. A subjective point. Some good music. Jared Lee performed a track titled "Don’t Wish Your Life Away". We just get one life, so enjoy and watch some scary movies, in the movie theatres!

First you get an idea. In this case, let's re-work an old TV show from the 80s, and show how it should be done. Someone wrote a script and it it was approved and produced. Money was poured into this project and the green light glowed for all its worth. Sadly like many pretend movie makers, they are living in a fantasy. This is the case here.They probably had great fun making it. With many great scripts that end up in the bin and not able to see the light of day, this is a crime against the art of cinema. Sadly Netflix have sold us a dud.
