Fantasy Island


(Unrated Edition)


The enigmatic Mr. Roarke (Michael Peña)
makes the secret dreams of his fortunate
guests come true at an opulent but remote
tropical resort. Those fantasies, however,
swiftly become nightmares, with the guests
forced to solve the island’s mystery if they are
to escape with their lives. This unrated edition
includes scenes too horrifying and explicit
for theaters.


FIVE FACTS:



  1. Fantasy Island, also sometimes referred
    to as Blumhouse’s Fantasy Island, is a horror
    re-imagination and prequel to ABC’s 1977
    television series of the same name.

  2. It stars Peña alongside such talents as
    Maggie Q, Lucy Hale, Austin Stowell, Portia
    Doubleday and Jimmy O. Yang.

  3. The movie was critically panned;
    Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-
    Times, for instance, described it as “inane”
    and “contrived”.

  4. It was a box-office success, however,
    grossing $47,315,959 worldwide against a
    $7 million budget.

  5. The film was shot on the island of Fiji.
