Predator Island

The kind of B-movies from the 1950's that were schlocky yet so much fun are to what Predator Island pays homage. Filmed in Connecticut, Predator Island is set on an island called with a lighthouse Hell's Beacon which is inhabited by only the couple who tends the lighthouse. In typical 1950's sci-fi fashion after a half dozen young adults crash their boat into the island's rocky shore hideous creatures from outer space invade the island after a meteor hits nearby. The creatures start both inhabiting the bodies of their victims as well as devouring them. Lots of cursing and lame comebacks are the primary form of dialogue in this movie. It is so hokey that you just have to laugh at times. If you are looking for a movie that is stupid, but in a fun way, then this one fits the bill.

Interesting note: I appear in the film as a dead body in the far background of the final scene. During filming they needed about 50 extras, yet around 300 people showed up for the opportunity. They eventually used nearly 200 of them.

This has got to be the WORSE move I've EVER seen!!!!! It was not only boring, it was "gag me with a spoon" dumb. Where'd ya find the actors ... on a street corner? Who did the special effects...Maaco? For God's sakes I could have made a better movie with my CELL PHONE. And if that wasn't bad enough, you even had extras at the end of the movie so we could see just how stupid the actors are in real life. Who ever did the makeup for the aliens...must have spent $5 at your local used costume store and called it a day. And who in the world wrote up the movie description on the back of the DVD case should be shot. PUHLEEZ!! It's not even 1/8 % of what it is described as. That description is just to suck people in to buying, renting or paying a ticket to see it. No wonder there was never a trailer to it....ya would have drove them all away!!!!!!!

Bad Actors...$5

Special Effects...$5.50

Fake Fire....$1.89 (cigarette lighter)

Time Spent Watching This Movie....total waste! (I should sue ya for my time watching it)

Wow, just watched this movie, It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Heather (Iris McQuillan-Grace) is so strangely attractive however her hair style keeps changing (maybe I was watching her to much) for me she was the star would love to see her again in the future. Chris (Dan Gordon) was very entertaining as well. The film is basically meteor hits and an alien is on the loose (like with the Deadly Spawn) killing people who have to fight to survive. The effects are bad but I've seen worst (really). Everyone has to start somewhere as with Peter Jackson who's first film BAD TASTE took a long time to complete with no budget, and look at him now directing LORD OF THE RINGS. The future looks bright for this film company and I wish you all the best for the future.

I like to think I have seen it all. SS DOOMTROOPER. The one about a family of sabertooth tigers. The one about a family of pteranodons. GOAT EATER. DEMON CHILD (a nonanimated child's rubber doll with horns glued on its head. Several SASQUATCH flicks, none of them good. A couple of giant spider/insect flicks. Endless HELLRAISER sequels. Endless LEPRAUCHAN sequels. Endless JASON sequels. A kickboxing scarecrow. AX 'EM, which is actually about an urban street parade recorded on someone's $199 camcorder. And so on. I watched part of an STV the other night about folks stranded on a desert island kickboxing to the death with a group of badly animated totems. I have even sat through DREAMCATCHER, as recently again as last night -- well, I should say I sat through parts of it, having seen it in all of its awful glory years ago. But nothing compares to PREDATOR ISLAND, about a group of youths trapped on an island during a storm, forced to do battle with aliens that arrive in a meteorite. The meteorite looks like it came out of a SUPERMAN cartoon from the 1940s. So do the aliens, for that matter. The photography and acting and directing and writing are all equally bad. I turned it off halfway through. Good luck.

OK, I see a lot of really bad comments here, but this is one of those low budget shot-on-dv type horror films that stand as far superior to garbage like "Death Factory" & "Jack-O-Lantern" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325228/ & http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113449/).

You should see the writing, directing, acting and FX in those films. You watch that junk & it puts ultra-B films such as this one in perspective. Granted, this film isn't the best, but having seen FAR, FAR worse it certainly stands out ahead of the rest.

I also agree with some of the other user comments that this film does reminds me of those cheesy 80's films which I just love. And where 80% of filmmakers out there say they can make movies, few ever see world-wide DVD & TV distribution such as this one.

Overall, not great, but not the worst either. It at least seems like these producers had fun making it. I rented & watched it, but I wouldn't buy the DVD. None the less, a decent enough try.
