Return to 'Island of Death' (2015)
*** (out of 4)
This sixteen-minute short is a fun one as director Mico Mastorakis returns to the shooting location for his notorious 1976 film ISLAND OF DEATH. If you've seen the film then you certainly know that it's the rare exploitation film that actually lives up to its reputation of being a shocker. This short has the director returning to the locations and showing how they look today compared to when he was originally there shooting the picture. It's rather shocking to see how little has actually changed but fans of the film will certainly enjoy this travelogue as we get to see the beautiful locations and Mastorakis makes for an interesting and fun host as he shares some nice stories. He even addresses the controversial "goat killing" seen in the film.
