Taking its cues from H.G. Wells’ THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU and H.P. Lovecraft’s THE SHADOW OVER INNSMOUTH, director Sergio 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: Barbara Bach, Claudio Cassinelli, Joseph Cotten, Richard Johnson
