The tome , the tome! Pass me the tome of PG boobs. Pretty lame movie, as lame as the thirtyish Epstein Island goofs I’m about to unleash:

Not as profoundly awful as the average person says, but it is quite lacking in most regards. I felt a bit let down by some of the turns, but Fantasy Island's most unforgivable sin is being overzealously derivative, trying to ape from so many sources that it just spins itself into a tangled aimless mess.

Fantasy Island is truly an incredible piece of cinema. Toeing the line between a wannabe horror film and a wannabe comedy film, Blumhouse stumbles across one of the best bad movies in years. It's ridiculous, everyone is either overacting or phoning it in, and the script basically makes no sense. Leaving you with more questions than answers, Fantasy Island rocks.

Blumhouse continues to out do themselves. Fantasy Island derives from being purposely goofy, but not doing so in any way that is actually entertaining. Where as, some movies are actually entertaining by it's creative elements, screenplay, coherency, and direction...this movie has none of those things. It's good to know your audience, but it doesn't make it an excuse to make a lazy and purposely stupid movie that literally contradicts your whole movie's synopsis in itself. Simply bad.

Alright, guys. This movie IS bad, but it's so bad it's good. Seriously. Bad acting, inconsistent themes, and it has no idea how to mix comedy, drama, and horror - and even so...I had the best time with this film. There's no way. NO WAY it didn't know how ridiculous it was being. Personally, I can see all the technical missteps the film takes, but I was EXTREMELY entertained anyway. Biased Score: 78% | Unbiased Score: 62% | Criticker Predicted Score: 48% (way off, Criticker).

Really stupid movie with no internal logic at all. Looks like it had its budget slashed when they realized it was stupid. The most unconvincing villain of all time. Big time idiots all around. Somehow ends with about 10 plot twists in a row.

Profoundly nonsensical and a waste of an interesting premise. Michael Pena looks like he's having a nice time though, and his turn as Mr. Roarke is a highlight, as is Michael Rooker's all-too brief appearance. Bad stuff!

This is a perfect example of a good idea that was poorly executed. I mean its a remake, a comedy, and a horror? film. The horror aspects reminded me of something from Disney or goosebumps. The comedy was lame and while the dramatic parts were a little better the actors weren't up to the task. Hopefully the film series end here.

I almost enjoyed Fantasy Island up until the 5th or 6th twist in the third act, leaving a bad impression. I'm not a horror aficionado, so the fact that everything in the film plays out like a comedy, actually worked in my favour. That said, it's not a good film. The acting, direction and writing is poor, but there are some interesting ideas. Unfortunately they aren't tied up with any thematic consistency, making the entire thing a little pointless.

I was expecting worse from the trailer, and it wasn't as bad as it seemed. Sure, not good, but it still had moments of wondering what was up. Though it seriously got lost along the way, the whole black goo thing was hard to take seriously at all, and the number of twists is a bit disorienting.

Granted, the ending fails to wrap things up in a satisfying way, which is awful given the number of questions raised by the intermingling of fantasies throughout the film, but I’m still not sure why this is as hated as it is. Like the tv show it delivers multiple characters who each have their own storyline, albeit with horror being the primary catalyst for change. It might have helped to have more characters who weren’t so initially annoying so we’d want to see them grow rather than killed.

The story is not awful, but it would be 20 points better without the valley girl actresses reminiscent of the acting in Sharknado. Impatient and intelligent people will be a little annoyed by it.

For those who have either forgotten about its existence or have never heard of it at all, "Fantasy Island" was a television show that ran from 1977-1984 in which Ricardo Montalban played Mr. Roarke, the head of a mysterious island resort who, along with the assistance of aide-de-camp Tattoo (Herve Villechaize), would each week greet a new crop of guest stars—ranging from newcomers to aging stars in between gigs appearing on "The Love Boat"—and somehow make their deepest fantasies com

There is a good chance that this might be the most stupid movie in recent years. All points goes to the production design.

Trying to have too many stories going on at once kind of derails the whole thing. You don't really get enough of anyone. Kind of funny in parts but mostly just dull, which is rare for a blumhouse movie. Usually when they fail it's pretty spectacularly.

What a mess this movie is. It starts out cheesy with the cringiest one-liners as the backbone of the entertainment then we hit the fantasy part of the island and it's like watching a skinemax movie. It quickly devolves into total nonsense and there's even some fantasy inception bullsh*t. It can't even follow the rules that it lays down as the foundation of the movie. It's very bad. And the ending is laugh out loud stupid.

Not sure about all of the terrible reviews. It works more as an action thriller than horror, but it's pretty entertaining throughout and explains the origin of Fantasy Island.

The single-biggest crime that this movie commits is, it's a horror-comedy trying to tiptoe between genres, and accomplishes neither: it's not scary enough, and it's certainly not fun (or funny) enough. In fact, this "fun" horror movie is no fun at all. Let me to save you $20 and nearly two hours: living in the past or seeking revenge is a bad idea. Hell, there isn't even satisfaction when the villain gets their comeuppance. This is useless but still exists, which is the worst state of them all.

The location is fantastic indeed, but the story is as muddled as the island's waters are clear. MY SCORING: 99-96=Great; 95-90=Very good; 89-85=Good; 84-80=So-so; 79-70=Boring; Below 70=Forget it.

I think Fantasy Island will be the biggest disappointment for me this Hooptober. I am a fan of most Blumhouse films, and once I saw the setting and premise I was excited. I thought it would end up being a mashup of Westworld and Lost turned horror. The set up was alright, but it continued to spiral down until I was left wondering, "How did this get made?" This question led me to check if either bad movie podcasts - How Did This Get Made? or The Flophouse - had an episode on Fantasy Island.  I w

I have a high tolerance for cheap horror, but this pushes past any possibility of camp appeal and delivers only tedium.

I really don't get where this was supposed to be a comedy. Also Micheal Penya is a highlight? A stone faced ponce with a vague accent is a hightlight? More like I don't know Travesty Shiteland

They want to slowly build up the tension and suspicion about the island not being quite the fantastic realm of a happy variety but rather a nightmarish one. They do this by opening with a horror scene. … Awesome job of killing any suspense for viewers who are not familiar with the original TV series! *claps hands* Also, it’s a douchebag move to make villains act like good guys in solo scenes as if they knew they are being recorded for a movie. Twist was good but orchestrated terribly.

No fewer than three people could have written this quasi-film that veers wildly between badly timed comedy (with the dubious adornment of some of the most leaden ad-lib work of the past few years), self-serious inspirational schmaltz and what, from a great distance, might resemble action. Bolted to an IP few people under 60 will remember fondly, the misshapen hybrid seems to beg for the release of death throughout its mercifully short runtime.

I'm a sucker for these types of horror films, so I never learn. It should be far more interesting but it has too many parts to juggle, none of which ever really pays off. The theme is also uneven as it doesn't know whether to be serious or not and ends up coming off a little goofy.
