The Eclectic Choice: Island Of Death

Island Of Death (1975)
dir. Nico Mastorakis

I'm not recommending this movie, so watcher beware. That being said, this is an exploitation movie that is out of its mind. This is one of those movies that makes you wonder, "What the hell were they thinking when they wrote it? What the hell were they thinking when they shot it? What the hell is this?"

A husband and wife go to a small Greek island. They are religious wackos and kill start knocking of people that they deem impure. They also take photos while committing these crimes because they get off on it. The movie contains bestiality, golden showers, incest, racial slurs, and all sorts of hate crimes. Oh and all of the things I just listed are committed by out married couple. The acting is horrendous and the film lasts about half an hour too long, but it's not valueless. There is some nice compositions and some fun moments if you are into exploitation movies. If not then stay away.

I wouldn't buy it, but I would be curious to have a conversation with the person who does.
