Taking its cues from H.G. Wells' THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU and H.P. Lovecraft's THE SHADOW OVER INNSMOUTH, director Sergio (TORSO, ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK) Martino's delirious and bizarre ISLAND OF THE FISHMEN is an Italian genre film like no other!
After surviving two harrowing nautical disasters, Lieutenant Claude de Ross washes up on a remote, uncharted tropical island along with a gaggle of similarly stranded escaped convicts. Soon, the cursed castaways are attacked by amphibious monsters, the work of Professor Ernest Marvin, a disgraced American biologist who has tampered with genetics to create an army of "fishmen". Professor Marvin controls the creatures and has been using them to plunder a submerged city of gold that he believes to be the lost city of Atlantis. But the natives are restless and the fishmen are slowly, surely beginning to hatch their own plans.
Starring legendary actors Joseph Cotten (CITIZEN KANE, LADY FRANKENSTEIN), Richard Johnson (ZOMBIE, THE HAUNTING) and comely "Bond girl" Barbara Bach (THE SPY WHO LOVED ME), ISLAND OF THE FISHMEN was originally released twice to American theaters in the early '80s via Roger Corman's New World pictures in a radically altered version called SCREAMERS (aka SOMETHING WAITS IN THE DARK). DELIRIUM HOME VIDEO is thrilled to be presenting Martino's magnum opus as it was originally meant to be seen.

"An amiable mash-up of Verne and Lovecraft. Not as sleazy as a lot of Italian horror, but a lot of fun, and looks pretty good. Richard Johnson had a weird career! I saw him doing Chekhov for the Royal Shakespeare Society, but he's best known for tropical spaghetti horror."
"I love Italian horror -- I've seen it all. But somehow I hadn't seen this sea creature monster movie. What a blast!"
"Movie is just fine, added to collection."
"MEDIOCRE FILM"
"Good"
"Sea creatures, hp love craft storyline? Add in wackiness. How can you go wrong"
