Set on the beautiful Greek island of Mykonos, the film follows the exploits of a young couple of a murder spree. You will not believe some of the ways that some of the victims are dispatched and shows that the film is a product of a director with a vivid imagination.
As it was made in the 1970′s some of the gore effects are a little dated but in no way does that diminish the shock value of the film. With all the unpleasantness going on, did I find it offensive? No not at all, but then I am am pretty hard to upset. It was made to offend, the director Niko Mastorakis has admitted that in interviews but it’s all a little campy with some pretty amateurish performances but the two main leads are sensational. It’s certainly better than the recent ‘A Serbian Film’ which is just a vile nasty piece of rubbish which should have never been made.
Island of Death is essential in any horror fan’s collection, for others I would stay away. Great depraved entertainment.
