Released in February 2020, Nightmare Island(Fantasy Island in its original version) is ahorror-adventure film directed by Jeff Wadlow. This feature reinvents the famous 1970s series, plunging its characters into terrifying situations where their wildest dreams turn into nightmares. Starring Michael Peña, Lucy Hale and Maggie Q, the film explores the dangers of fantasies and the dark mysteries hidden on a remote island. Nightmare Island will be available on Prime Video from October 22, 2024, just in time for Halloween.
The enigmatic Mr. Roarke (Michael Peña) welcomes a group of guests to a luxury resort on a mysterious, isolated island. Each guest has come to the island with a particular fantasy that the island is capable of bringing to life. Whether it's reliving moments from their past or fulfilling their deepest desires, everyone sees their dreams fulfilled, but very soon, what seemed like paradise turns into a nightmare.
Fantasies twist and turn sinister, endangering the guests' lives. As reality becomes blurred, they discover that they are trapped in a vicious cycle and must understand the mysteries of the island if they hope to escape alive. As revelations unfold, they realize that the island itself and Mr. Roarke hide terrifying secrets that threaten to turn their fantasies into the worst possible reality.
Nightmare Island will appeal to horror film fans who enjoy tales where desires and dreams turn into nightmares. This film will appeal to those who have enjoyed works such as Get Out or The Cabin in the Woods, where fantasy rubs shoulders with suspense, and where the protagonists must solve a mystery to survive.
The film's originality lies in the transformation of an initially light-hearted concept (fantasies fulfilled) into a terrifying universe. The guests' personal stories take unexpected and deadly turns, and the island, which seems capable of manipulating everyone's desires, becomes a character in its own right, evil and enigmatic. Michael Peña plays a charming yet unsettling Mr. Roarke, while the cast of Lucy Hale, Maggie Q, and Austin Stowell bring an emotional intensity to this struggle for survival.
Available on Prime Video from October 22, 2024, Nightmare Island is a thrilling horror film that plunges its characters into a waking nightmare.
