Fantasy Island (2020)

Recommended Posts

I will say that I was intrigued by the idea that the premise could have worked well as a horror film, in a kind of Tales From the Crypt type of way, but boy did they find a way to fuck it all up to where it's basically just a horror version of Bedazzled in a way. A couple of the guests' storylines were interested and should have gotten more time, like Maggie Q's, but they focused on the weaker ones like the one involving revenge on a childhood bully and two brothers who wanted to "have it all." It's worse in that a big part of the main twist is given away in the trailer, where the overall trip and what happens is someone's fantasy, but the other half of the twist of whose fantasy it is is kinda telegraphed. Then add to that fuckery the fact that the twist reveal shouldn't work in connection to the island's rules that are explicitly laid out multiple times in the movie or the fact that by the end this movie is meant to act as a soft prequel to the damn TV show, and this should make for an amazing episode.
