Product Description

ISLAND FURY -

While visiting a remote island with friends, two young girls discover a cache of mob money. as well as a clan of bloodthirsty cannibals who pick off the vacationers one by one. The girls manage to escape but are kidnapped years later by wiseguys hell-bent on getting back their loot. Forced back to the island to find the treasure, the girls and their captors instead find nothing but trouble. Also more notoriously known as Please Don't Eat the Babies, this strange shocker was one of the last horror films from independent producer Mardi Rustam (Eaten Alive, Evils of the Night).



BARRACUDA -

The quaint seaside town of Palm Cove is home to upstanding citizens, good ol' fashioned southern hospitality . and a deadly rash of barracuda attacks. The town sheriff (William Kerwin, Blood Feast, Scum of the Earth) and a young marine biologist (Wayne Crawford, God's Bloody Acre) join forces to discover that the culprits are none other than the local chemical plant and its odious managers. but little do they know that the scheme runs much, much deeper. Produced in the wake of Jaws, this homegrown "regional" film is equal parts horror and suspense, with industrial-government conspiracy themes predating those of The X-Files and Halloween III.

3.0 out of 5 stars Barracuda (1978), June 7, 2009

Barracuda (1978) I bought this movie because I really thought it would be terrible. I imagined something like "Spawn of the Slithis", or "Nazi Surfers Must Die", but this movie turns into a fun one after all. In the beginning, the plot is very silly - barracudas eat people. Amazing. The filming is under water, with the barracudas waving their tails while eating the limbs of people is laughable. But... in the middle of the movie the barracudas disappear, and the story, although still with poor acting, gets interesting. In fact, X-Files is very close to this in subject. And the end is a lot better than one you could expect from a movie called "Barracuda".

"Island Fury" Please Don't Eat the Babies (1983) Hank Worden, Mose in "The Searchers", winds down a great career with this student film mish-mash of a movie. Yachters use Worden's small island pier/store to stock up on supplies. The island is off limits and there is a curfew for the paying customers. Yachters are supposed to drop a few bucks and push off. Any one breaking the rules discovers Worden has a family inland that bears more than a passing resemblance to the Texas Chainsaw Clan. Which would have been fine. The film gets even more inept trying to inject a monster menace. Aquatic cockroach things that Worden's family has a weird empathy with. This is a particularly inept and difficult film to watch.

1.0 out of 5 stars what the HECK!!!!!, February 11, 2009

By	M. ROTERMEL - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ok here is how it goes this double feature was a double boredom. It seemed to drag on and on and on. You get my meaning There was no action and if there was I missed it and Island fury should have been Island boredom. Most of the time you are confused between the flashbacks which I am still not sure why they were in there and what is going on in the present My advice run the other way before you waste your money.
