‘Stranded in paradise… until the sun goes down’
Bermuda Island is a 2022 American survival thriller about the survivors of a plane crash who find themselves on a seemingly deserted island.
Directed by Adam Werth (Alien Storm; Rancher’s Kin) from a screenplay written by Robert Thompson (Breakout; Frost; Crossbreed; Aftermath) based on a story by producers Michael Mahal and Sonny Mahal (Night of the Tommyknockers; Death Count; Attack of the Unknown; Bus Party to Hell).
Plot:
A passenger jet plane carrying dozens of people going somewhere over the Bermuda Triangle gets caught in a deadly storm and crash lands on an island hundreds of miles away from their flight path. They crash land on an island that seems like paradise.
In the daytime, it has crystal blue ocean water with lots of fish but no other wildlife seems to be around. At night time creatures come out of the caves and attack them. They are bloodsucking creatures. Someone who survived a shipwreck a few years prior tells them about how his group was killed off by them.
The group must band together to defeat the enemy but they start fighting each other and split into two groups with different leaders. Can they overcome the odds and survive? Or will the creatures destroy them all?
Reviews:
“The creatures seem not dissimilar to green-tinged versions of the monsters in Night of the Tommyknockers, from the same company, being fast-moving, aggressive and, let’s be honest, men in suits. I’ll take that over bad CGI any day though: they’re quite well done, and there’s no denying, things always perked up when they arrived. Albeit mostly because it stopped the inane dialogue and actions of the survivors.” Grade: C, Film Blitz
“If Bermuda Island had dispensed with the ultimately pointless Diego subplot and gotten to the creatures quicker it would have been a lot better off. The last half of the film is enjoyable B movie cheese. The characters eventually split into two hostile factions, giving it a lethal version of Survivor vibe as well. I’d say a Lord of the Flies vibe but the characters are a bit old for that, even if they do act like a bunch of school kids at times.” 2.5 out of 5 stars, Voices from the Balcony
