one of the central characters in this film saying he was planning on leaving a one star review ... okay twin 😍
Just how dire is Hollywood’s dependence on intellectual property? The “Sonic the Hedgehog” movie wasn’t even this week’s most desperate attempt to bring an old brand into multiplexes. Not that rebooting ABC’s “Fantasy Island” for the big screen was an inherently bad idea — the 1977 television show’s “‘Twilight Zone’ in paradise” vibe is always sunny and evergreen — but there’s a real whiff of desperation to the way that Blumhouse has dusted it off, and this slapdash programmer is such a complete shrug of a movie that it feels almost defiantly apathetic from the moment it starts. Dumb in ways that range from inane to insulting, but always growing duller by the minute, this new “Fantasy Island” is only…
Just abysmal.
It’s not worth putting in the energy to critique this because it’s so apparent that minimal energy was put into its own creation, but the detail I cannot get off my mind is that there’s a man in this movie whose GREATEST, UNRESTRICTED FANTASY was to join the military.

SYNOPSIS: When the owner and operator of a luxurious island invites a collection of guests to live out their most elaborate fantasies in relative seclusion, chaos quickly descends.
My fantasy is for Jeff Wadlow to one day direct a horror film that is actually halfway decent, but hey, considering this film made more than 6x than that of its production budget, it must be doing something right, right? Wrong. Although there is…
I went to see a movie in the theater y’all! That’s all thanks to Parker Brennon for getting me to be social and I hope it’s the first of many movie dates! And I loved this! I dunno, maybe I just lack the analytical movie critiquing skills to give an appropriate review, but from a purely entertainment standpoint I really really enjoyed it!
I don’t even get all the negativity and I’m not sure if it’s because other people are too harsh or because I’m not harsh enough and it doesn’t matter because I’m just glad I got to see a fun movie on the big screen. It’s totally ridiculous and doesn’t really make a single lick of sense if you think…
goes from boring bad to weird bad and then back to boring bad. is jeff wadlow the worst working filmmaker?
