Description

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.

    The Fish Who Loved Me

    Blind bought this with low-ish expectations but enjoyed this fantasy/adventure pic. Some really fun underwater action sequences in the second half were a surprise, cool stuff.

    A Creature Feature Oddity From a Master of Giallo Horror!

    For my full detailed review of Island of the Fishmen, see my entry on Letterboxd: @M4N14K

    Delirium is quickly becoming one of my favorite new sublabels right alongside New Wave Video and Transmission. The Jess Franco onslaught is glorious but this Sergio Martino obscurity is next level! I viewed this film on the Island of the Fishmen Delirium Home Video Blu-ray Limited Edition physical media released through Vinegar Syndrome and it is the same great premium level of packaging and presentation that you’ve come to expect from the generic releases of this boutique label. No other brand beats Vinegar Syndrome at the cardboard game and this great slipcover is no exception to the consistently fantastic artwork and component quality this company produces.

    Very Interesting Flick!

    The slipcover is awesome, as always with anything VS or their awesome partner Labels release! It is a cool movie that was a lot of fun to watch! I always love the unique VS service of allowing you to stack as many movies as you like in your cart during any release period and ship them for free! The peerless VS restoration process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!
