One of my all time favorites.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Helllins
It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Brennan Camacho
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Warning: there may be spoilers in this review.The story, it is easy to follow. I would classify this movie as being an action suspense thriller; rather than being classical horror. The background music is suggestive of journey to the center of the earth, or of the mysterious island; and works well with the film. The team up of the main characters suggests in possibility of character models for Mystery Incorporated. You have two guys and two girls; one jock and one nerd (no offense to Velma).I feel that there is a decent amount of talent that was gathered for this film, and all though the story was not the best to follow it was a good movie.For originality, for talent, and for acting; I would give the film at least three stars out of five. Though, a hunter hunting the rarest of game does not stand against the horror films of today, there is one scene in the film that will get the heart pumping three times as fast.If you are a fan of slash films, and of classical horror; this is a good movie for you to enjoy, home alone; on a dark and scary night.

Two tourist couples decide to take a trip away from the usual route to a lonely island. They soon find that a mysterious doctor lives there who hunts people for his pleasure. During the war, he explains, he was assigned to duty as a sniper for his steady hand. What had been an unpleasant duty became a pleasure. Then it developed into a passion, and then into a lust for blood", he openly confesses. He assures his visitors that he has room for more trophies, and soon they are in the dark jungle, prey for the lunatic hunter with a crossbow...Yes, this story is obviously ripped off completely from the classic 'The Most Dangerous Game'. This simple b/w movie is a crude imitation, but nothing more; a forgettable remake attempt you can skip without missing anything.

Yes, the comparison to both "The Most Dangerous Game" and "Island of Lost Souls" (later two "Dr. Moreau" movies) are obvious from the get-go, and the presence of Robert Reed will also create curiosity. But other than that, there's nothing to recommend about this cheaply filmed horror movie where the quality is so low that anything possibly scary about it ends up being lost. Bad photography and sound, poor acting by most and most obviously an insipid screenplay make this one of the most forgettable of low-grade horror films all over the country through drive-ins and underground showings. There are some classics among this genre, but sadly this isn't one of them.Robert Reed does add a touch of class, and it is apparent that as much as he probably hated being in it (being a stage trained actor), he still took it as seriously as he would later do with the squeaky clean Mike Brady. Wilton Graff is the campy villain who resembles assumptive portraits of Lucifer and eats his role up as if he was trying to out-do all of those Tod Slaughter British horror classics of the 30's and any of Bela Lugosi's later works. You half expect him to quote Lugosi from "Bride of the Monster". That would be an improvement over the dialog he is forced to recite.

This was an enjoyable retelling of 'The Most Dangerous Game'. I can't imagine this movie was meant for anything other than drive-ins, so it's got a low production quality and doesn't try to be anything it's not. Campy teenagers tell campy jokes until campy trouble strikes and concludes with campy action. Understand that you're not getting into a movie that will ever join the 1932 release in the Criterion collection, rather a cheesy old horror movie with a young Pa Brady trying to save the day. For fans of vintage camp, not for someone looking for the next undiscovered gem of classy cinema.Rating: 22/40
