The Mahal Brothers bring us another very ambitious fun monster movie called "Bermuda Island ". Shot on location in Puerto Rico this beautifully directed movie by Adam Werth will help you escape the winter blues.
The movie opens up with an excited arrest of a dangerous ruthless arms dealer. Diego (Noel Gugliemi) Is being extradited to Puerto Rico along with a plane full of excited vacationers. What is a set up of a modern day Airport movie crossed with The Island of Dr. Moreau but with so much more.
After a delay at the airport and a cool likable well written and amusing introduction to our cast, we are in the air. Not long into flight our travelers are plunged into a freak storm. Diego doesn't want to be jailed and has a cool gunfight onboard leading to the beginning of carnage that just gets more involved as we continue.
The plane goes down in the ocean killing all but a few lucky survivors. They make there way to the island that first appears to be a paradise.
Our main characters Carolyn (Sarah French), Damon (Victor V. Gelsomino) and psycho FBI agent Victor Sweden (Wesley Cannon) quickly take charge.
An unrecognizable Greg Tally plays Midnight. He is truly hilarious in his deliveries and is a part very different than anything he has done. Very memorable and so enjoyable. Great job.
After getting to know who is left and exploring the island the action picks up quickly and doesn't stop. Again great actors and direction take over for the carnage that is thrown at us. Our monsters who roam and rule the island are out to kill on site. A bloody encounter leaves more than half the group that survived the crash ripped, slashed, disemboweled and every imaginable act of ferociousness from a monster you can imagine. The blood is poured out and good ole splatter FX are presented along with cool scary monsters. These have to be some of the best looking creatures in a long time. Shot perfectly in the dark you see enough to fear and enough to keep you guessing what the heck is happening.
As the chaos has broke out and everyone is trying to either figure out or survive a mysterious guy comes out of the woods to help. We learn his name is Bruce (John Wells). Bruce is a surviving soldier that saw his whole group slaughtered by these monsters. He is part of this group now and explains how to build shelters and how they only come out at night. They are scared of fire so they also build torches.
FBI agent Sweden quickly doesn't like that Carolyn and Damon are getting all the attention split the group up and takes out on there own.
Each group start practicing and learning survival skills but they also keep losing members. Dwindling their numbers and ability to fight back and survive.
Meanwhile to step away from the blood and carnage and feelings of doom. Our hero's Carolyn and Damon sneak off and come across a utopia of sorts snuggled in the woods. A beautiful waterfall and swimming hole invite a lil skinny dipping to ease off some pressure. But like everything else it too is interrupted and more death occurs in the Process.
These 2 groups seem to be getting a hold on things and fighting back but things in these type of movies always take a bad turn. Not everything is as we would like and things turn quickly for the worse. A Bloody finally will leave you exhausted and totally surprised at the outcome.
Be on the lookout for horror icon Kimberly Lynn Cole in another kick ass bloody moment.
Another win here for the Mahal brothers. I mean how can you go wrong shooting in paradise and with such a fun cast and story. Everyone here did so well and was a joy to watch Sherry Davis as Peggy is memorable and had me laughing. Shooting on location is always a task but this movie seems to have had no issues and pulled it off. A special cheers to the whole cast & crew. How hard is it to light a night scene and it was pulled off here perfectly. The monsters were perfectly captured and all the action played out well. You have a little of everything and more that fans of this genre are looking for.
I was blown away by Night of the Tommyknockers and said how can they do better? Well here it is. Highly recommended and worth a look or 2.
