Predator Island

From the opening shot of the meteor falling towards Earth, you know you're in for something special.

This is an ultra-low budget shot on video movie about a group of teens stranded on a lighthouse island with some monsters. The story is unremarkable and nothing you haven't seen a thousand times before. The acting isn't great but isn't completely horrible, however the special effects - of which there are a good deal - are laughable at best. In fact, if you can read this sentence, chances are better than 50% that you could do a more credible job creating the video explosion and compositing effects in this movie than the filmmakers.

The movie's saving grace - if you're in the mood for a grade Z turkey of a film - is that there's always something happening and it never gets boring. And if you like making fun of bad movies with your friends, you might just find this worth a dollar rental.

And I must say I appreciated the opening joke, "that is the dumbest name for an island I've ever heard." Probably the best moment in the movie.

OK, I see a lot of really bad comments here, but this is one of those low budget shot-on-dv type horror films that stand as far superior to garbage like "Death Factory" & "Jack-O-Lantern" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325228/ & http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113449/).

You should see the writing, directing, acting and FX in those films. You watch that junk & it puts ultra-B films such as this one in perspective. Granted, this film isn't the best, but having seen FAR, FAR worse it certainly stands out ahead of the rest.

I also agree with some of the other user comments that this film does reminds me of those cheesy 80's films which I just love. And where 80% of filmmakers out there say they can make movies, few ever see world-wide DVD & TV distribution such as this one.

Overall, not great, but not the worst either. It at least seems like these producers had fun making it. I rented & watched it, but I wouldn't buy the DVD. None the less, a decent enough try.

Wow, just watched this movie, It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Heather (Iris McQuillan-Grace) is so strangely attractive however her hair style keeps changing (maybe I was watching her to much) for me she was the star would love to see her again in the future. Chris (Dan Gordon) was very entertaining as well. The film is basically meteor hits and an alien is on the loose (like with the Deadly Spawn) killing people who have to fight to survive. The effects are bad but I've seen worst (really). Everyone has to start somewhere as with Peter Jackson who's first film BAD TASTE took a long time to complete with no budget, and look at him now directing LORD OF THE RINGS. The future looks bright for this film company and I wish you all the best for the future.

This has got to be the WORSE move I've EVER seen!!!!! It was not only boring, it was "gag me with a spoon" dumb. Where'd ya find the actors ... on a street corner? Who did the special effects...Maaco? For God's sakes I could have made a better movie with my CELL PHONE. And if that wasn't bad enough, you even had extras at the end of the movie so we could see just how stupid the actors are in real life. Who ever did the makeup for the aliens...must have spent $5 at your local used costume store and called it a day. And who in the world wrote up the movie description on the back of the DVD case should be shot. PUHLEEZ!! It's not even 1/8 % of what it is described as. That description is just to suck people in to buying, renting or paying a ticket to see it. No wonder there was never a trailer to it....ya would have drove them all away!!!!!!!

Bad Actors...$5

Special Effects...$5.50

Fake Fire....$1.89 (cigarette lighter)

Time Spent Watching This Movie....total waste! (I should sue ya for my time watching it)

Six people head out on a weekend boat trip. When a meteor crash creates a storm they end up stranded on a remote island and the only other people in the island is a lighthouse keeper and his wife and dangerous alien creatures created by the meteor. The group have to fight for their lives against the evil creatures.

OK this is a science fiction/horror so the above story is fine.

The actors have only done this or one or two other movie so i wasn't expecting great acting and at most time its average but no surprise there.

The effects are as basic as it gets.

Men in rubber suits (Aliens) are OK for what it is.

A lot of it was filmed in the dark so you couldn't see much of what was happening, why filming anything if no one can see it?

There is a random scene where 2 girls kiss each other.

There isn't the usual lot of female skin on display, in these movies they usually add some topless women to keep people interested. We only had a small bikini shot.

There isn't much gore.

The editing was a bit random.

The film quality was OK.

The sound was average.

The most annoying thing about this movie is the people who immediately spout out that this is the worst movie ever. I must have seen over 100 message boards with that comment lol. People tend to exaggerate especially if they have paid out money to watch it and storm to the message boards in a rage about spending their $1.50 on the DVD they didn't like. But thats what you get from impulse buying, we have so many ways of checking out a movie nowadays before actually buying it and with a movie like this all you have to do is check out the cast listing and see its not going to be a blockbuster especially if its reasonably new movie and it's in the bargain basket.

Overall yes this is bad movie if you want to compare it to something like Predator which is a good one to compare with as they both have predator in the title :p and Predator has exactly 100 time the budget of this movie. Taking that into account and the people's experience in making movies working on this, it wasn't too bad and definitely NOT the worst movie ever. So my advice is to think about what you are watching before you make yourself look stupid by posting such bold statements especially when you don't explain why you think it is the worst ever. It just makes it a pointless post.

Anyway its best to check this movie out when it's on TV or grab it at a pound shop, or dime store or whatever those places are called because at best this is average, unless you was involved in it then it was brilliant lol. I gave at a below average of 3/10 and definitely not a 1/10.

10 = Excellent 5 = Average 1 = Awful
