well after three time through i still have no idea what this movie be about because and quite honestly and it fail to generate any real interest or concern . but here it go represent a bunch of too old to be teen teen actor dress in horrify latter 1980 fashion ( do we look like that too . ) decide it would be a really good idea to get in a motorboat and go visit the abandon alcatraz after one of them have nightmare of people be slaughter in various horrify way that manage to rip off poltergeist and the evil dead and and freddy kreuger in one fell swoop . the dimwit even envision himself be roast over an open fire with some deformed freak slice off strip of tenderloin . good thing it be only a dream or it might have hurt and and good thing his dream have a decent special effect budget . mine be usually pretty lame represent girl and model space ship and blow thing up with a bazooka and etc . once on the alcatraz island they find themselves in a slasher movie and and meet up with tony basil and who can not help but break into a couple dance pose at time and have her own lighting crew ( complete with a smoke machine for that 1980 smoky haze infuse light look and which i kind of miss ) . and such remind me that ms. basil help choreograph david byrne of the talk head for some of his video and performance . this of course have nothing at all to do with the film but keep pop into mind a the movie pose very little to actually think about . it sort of happens and and you can either watch or keep work on your page markup with it on the tv set off to the side . but since the film isn not really interesting and you will keep decide to finish one last thing instead of waste time and the movie will keep end and and you will find yourself wonder what you miss every time you realize the end credit be start to roll again and dammit . some 1980 teen horror movie can survive such specialized view represent umberto lenzi ghosthouse and chop mall and it killbots and the hard to ignore night of the creep and the over the top sleepaway camp all come to mind . they be film that and like them or not and demand your attention and usually pay off with some good gore or t and a and and typos in your work a evidence that you be watch the tv instead of your keyboard . i be sure that hell island ( a the british version i glom onto be title ) do indeed have some good stuff in there and but frankly i do not care . and nothing be more annoy that encounter art of any genre that doesn not inspire admiration and some decent dislike or even good old honest hatred for it . the film be content with simper away 80 whatever minute of time and never really accomplish anything more than be a sometimes distraction in spite of my best effort to try and give it a chance and but no dice . there be some offbeat production design go on and the use of lighting be strike at time and and the occasional outburst of mayhem will probably keep fan of 1980 teen horror interested . the rest of you be warn though represent you will wonder if you dress like that in 1987 and and the answer be probably more hideous than anything which happen on screen . try to watch it a a free rental if possible so that if disappoint you aren not stick with the damn thing represent movie like this take up valuable shelf space that be often at a commodity these day and what with the world come to an end and all .
