جزيرة الخيال

After a few dialogs the only thing you'll want is to run away from the theater. There's nothing to save from this movie except maybe Maggie Q. Don't know how I stayed until the end it was a torture !

A group of guests arrive at the Fantasy Island, a paradisiacal tropical resort hosted by the mysterious Mr. Roarke (Michael Peña) and his staff, with the promise that their secret fantasies or dreams come true in the island. He interviews each new arrival to make clear that their fantasies just end when concluded and to confirm each wish. Gwen Olsen (Maggie Q) regrets the day she said no to the proposal of her boyfriend. Melanie Cole (Lucy Hale) seeks revenge on her high-school mate Sloane Maddison (Portia Doubleday). Patrick Sullivan (Austin Stowell) dreams on being a soldier like his father. The gay Brax Weaver (Jimmy O. Yang) and his brother J. D. Weaver (Ryan Hansen) just want to party. But soon they realize that there is a price to pay to the island for the wishes come true. "Fantasy Island" is a highly entertaining fantasy film with good twists. The Metascore and the IMDb User Rating are ridiculous, misguiding the viewers. The plot is a combination of "The Twilight Zone" with the franchise "House" (1985) and not a horror movie. Fortunately, I did not read the reviews in IMDb and I look forward waiting for a sequel. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil: "A Ilha da Fantasia" ("The Fantasy Island")

Horror fans have respect for Blumhouse Productions but this movie is beyond redemption. Heard Jason Blum wanted Nic Cage n that wud have saved this film a lil bit. Michael Pena's character is too soft spoken n without any mystery. The film has no good kills, no nudity, no suspense n tension. This movie is set on a supernatural island n i dont get to see any deadly snakes, insects, monsters or ferocious animals. The end is a big meh. This is a prequel to the tv show of the same name and they provide the hint when they introduce the character of Tattoo which was played by the iconic Hervé Villechaize in the tv show. The funny part is when somebody doesn't like the review, they report that the review contains spoilers n this review doesn't have a single spoiler.

Despite plot holes all over the place, the storyline is quite enjoyable at the first and second act. BUT then the writer suddenly decided to rush it at the third act by creating the worst plot twist.
