Description: ISLAND OF THE FISHMEN (DVD 1979 -2009) BRAND NEW - HORROR - ACTION - ADVENTURE - SCI-FI PRODUCT INFORMATION PROVIDED BELOW ~ Product Description It's 1891: Lieutenant Claude de Ross (Claudio Cassinelli), a military doctor, and a few newly escaped convicts are shipwrecked on a mysterious tropical island. They soon come across a strange couple: the sadistic Edmund Rackham (Richard Johnson) and the beautiful Amanda Marvin (Barbara Bach). The doctor finds out that Amanda's father, professor Ernest Marvin (Joseph Cotten), is a mad scientist who is experimenting on horrible human-fish mutations. While Professor Marvin is convinced that he's doing his research for humanitarian motives, Rackham has other plans, since he has discovered an incredible secret lying beneath the island. FROM FULL MOON - Italian horror director Sergio (TORSO, ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK) Martino's mythical 1979 dark fantasy thriller ISLAND OF THE FISHMEN is swimming to Blu-ray and DVD from Full Moon...and for the first time in North America we're presenting it in its ORIGINAL director's cut! Taking its cues from H.G. Wells' THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU and H.P. Lovecraft's THE SHADOW OVER INNSMOUTH, ISLAND OF THE FISHMEN is an Italian genre film like no other.After surviving two harrowing nautical disasters, Lieutenant Claude de Ross washes up on a remote, uncharted tropical island along with a gaggle of similarly stranded escaped convicts. Soon, the cursed castaways are attacked by amphibious monsters, the work of Professor Ernest Marvin, a disgraced American biologist who has tampered with genetics to create an army of "fishmen". Professor Marvin controls the creatures and has been using them to plunder a submerged city of gold that he believes to be the lost city of Atlantis. But the natives are restless and the fishmen are slowly, surely beginning to hatch their own plans. Starring legendary actors Joseph Cotton (CITIZEN KANE, THE HELLBENDERS), Richard Johnson (ZOMBIE, THE HAUNTING) and comely "Bond girl" Barbara Bach (THE SPY WHO LOVED ME), ISLAND OF THE FISHMEN was originally released twice to American theaters in the early '80s via Roger Corman's New World pictures, first as SOMETHING WAITS IN THE DARK and then in a radically altered version called SCREAMERS. Full Moon is thrilled to be presenting Martino's magnum opus in its completely uncut original form for the first time in North America in a gorgeously remastered transfer from the original 35mm negative.L'isola degli uomini pesceFrench theatrical release poster From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Island of the Fishmen aka. Island of Mutations (Italian: L'isola degli uomini pesce) is a 1979 Italian-American action-horror film directed by Sergio Martino, starring Barbara Bach, Joseph Cotten and Richard Johnson. In 1981, about 30 minutes of footage was removed from the original film and replaced with new material for international release. This version was given the title Screamers. Plot It is the year 1891 and a military doctor, Lieutenant Claude de Ross (Claudio Cassinelli) a survivor of not one, but two shipwrecks, washes ashore on a mysterious, uncharted Caribbean island along with a handful of convicts. When several of these convicts meet unfortunate ends at the hands of the titular fishmen, Claude and the other survivors flee into the jungle, only to encounter the sadistic Edmond Rackham (Richard Johnson) and his beautiful captive Amanda Marvin (Barbara Bach). Amanda's father, Professor Ernest Marvin (Joseph Cotten), a once-famed biologist, has discovered a way to transform humans into amphibious creatures and controls their every move. Rackham manipulates Marvin into performing the procedure upon both willing and unwilling participants by assuring him that his work is undertaken for purely scientific and humanitarian motives (Marvin hopes to reduce strain on the world food supply by creating a race of people who can live in the resource-untapped ocean). Having discovered the lost city of Atlantis beneath the waters surrounding the island however, Rackham is in actuality using the half-human monsters to plunder the lost city of its treasures. Shakira (Beryl Cunningham), a voodoo priestess in the employ of Rackham foretells death and destruction descending upon the island. The priestess' prophecy is fulfilled as the film ends with Claude and Amanda attempting an escape from a gun-wielding Rackham, a crazed Shakira, uncontrolled fishmen and the very volcano that doomed Atlantis which awakens and threatens to send what unsubmerged landmass remains to oblivion.
