Review: Isle of the Dead (2016)
By William Pattison
This time I’m reviewing a zombie film done by my buddies at
The Asylum. Oh joy…
A military squad is sent to a deserted island in the Pacific
Ocean in order to secure top secret records involving a zombie epidemic that
wiped out the large scientific team experimenting with various test chemicals
and toxins which leads to the team battling not only zombies, but the lone
surviving scientist who has plans for the future of the human race.
For those of you not is the know The Asylum is best known
for their outrageous Sharknato films and their Mockbusters… basically crap
films. Films that are shot in three to four days with budgets of 80s sitcoms.
These are simple garbage popcorn films that you watch for stars that are ready
to retire, horrible acting film school CGI, but with a lot of heart and an
understanding that this is cheap snack food and the films you get when you are drunk
or in a hurry and quickly grab the first thing that remotely sounds like the
hot blockbuster. It is no different here.
This film is a feast of tacky zombie fun with bad acting…they
dare call these losers a Seal team…, lots of mindless zombie attacks, and of
course no morality in the story, just lots of machine gun fire, mindless
violence, and gallons of fake blood. Fun for any zombie movie fan and something
The Asylum does well.
If you love a good bloody zombie film with lots of killing and no one really trying to do a good performance this is the film for you and I highly highly recommend it.
