Monster Island (2019)
Good...until the ending
I watched this and really enjoyed the movie, finding it to be good, fun, easy entertainment after working hard all day. The acting was good, the special effects worked well enough to keep me focused on the action and the story. The selection of actors was great. Natalie Robbie (who played Sarah Murray) caught my eye in particular since she reminds me very much of Dana Plato (Kimberly Drummond of Diff'rent Strokes).
My only problem with the movie was the final few minutes. The build-up throughout the movie was good but then it felt like they just "capped off" the movie with a TV episode type of ending. I would have expected something like this from a down-market "monster of the week" show, not a one-off movie.
I know some folks will say, "Ahhh, but this was an Asylum film" and maybe they are right. I don't know one movie company from another. I just had higher expectations given the rest of the two hours that I had spent watching it. Oh well!
If/when it comes out on DVD, I will definitely add it to my collection. I just kind of hope that they put "alternate endings" on the disc, similar to what was done for the comedy movie "Clue" back in 1985. I'd like to see something more satisfying.
