The only thing more insane and contrived than the Big Reveal is the epilogue, which contains not one but two maddeningly bizarre developments that are beyond strange and inconsistent, even for a movie that’s been strange and inconsistent all along. Read full review

I didn’t hate this slaughter-at-the-soap opera reboot. Not until it goes seriously off the rails in the third act, anyway. But don’t get your “torture porn” hopes up with the word “slaughter.” It is PG-13, after all. And this isn’t “Hostel.” Read full review

An odd attempt at genre-surfing that ends up well out of its depth. Read full review

If this were the feature-length pilot episode for some cheap reboot on a streaming service — which is what it feels like — a generous viewer might half-heartedly agree to tune in next week and see if things get more interesting. But on the big screen? A sequel would be less welcome than a new episode of, say, Charlie's Angels. Or Starsky & Hutch. Read full review

So yes, Fantasy Island is a terrible movie — this probably won’t come as a shock to most people — but more than that, it seems to have been made with absolutely no one in mind. Read full review

By the time this Fantasy Island arrives at its gallingly stupid final twist, you’ll be dying to go home. Read full review

The movie can only be classified as something truly terrible, escaping any other categorization that would make it resemble an actual film. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved this movie because it seemed as so it kept going quickly and there was so much action. There was so much suspense throughout the movie thinking it would end this way or that. It then continued and it had such a sweet ending and many sweet moments throughout. Even though it’s a horror movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel like this movie is a little unfairly reviewed. Yes it’s a remake, yes it’s got that remake kind of “ugh” factor, but it was a fun watch, overall, and I’m glad I saw it. It’s got some fun Easter eggs that you might enjoy if you were a fan of the original (Tattoo). It’s also got some incredibly convoluted story lines and some characters that are really poorly fleshed out. The story really pulls you in a lot of different directions at once. HOWEVER. At the end of it, my mother and I both were glad we watched it and felt that the moments that were supposed to tug on your heart strings really worked. If you don't like films with a lot of convoluted subplots eventually tying together in to one EXTREMELY convoluted plot in the end, then this may not be for you, but if you’re a fan of many genres at once with a lot of thriller elements, I’d recommend it.… Expand
