Most Bizarre and Unintentionally Hilarious Back-of-DVD Film Synopsis Ever.
Island of Death. 1977.
“Celia has discovered the meaning of crude, primitive sex. While her husband (who was never her husband but her brother) starts to melt”
Cast your eyes south, open the somewhat stretched image in a new tab, and read the grammatically ‘adventurous’ and comically nutty synopsis of Greek exploitation horror nasty ‘Island of Death’, which can be found on the back of the UK DVD release of the movie.
It reads like the rantings of a semi- illiterate psychopath and describes almost everything that happens in the film so that you don’t actually have to see it (don’t see it by the way- unless you enjoy a bit of of misogyny, homophobia, atrocious acting and goat-fucking in your horror flicks).
It’s a miracle that something this offensive, inept and frankly bizarre made it through quality control (I’m referring to the movie synopsis below, but this could just as easily apply to ‘Island of Death’ itself- which plays out like a Carry-on film directed by Peter Sutcliffe). For this reason its existence should be duly noted.
