Fantasy Island
Director: Jeff Wadlow
Actors: Michael Peña, Maggie Q, Lucy Hale
PlotA group of contest winners arrives at a luxurious and remote tropical resort, known to make the secret dreams of its guests come true, but at a cost not initially apparent. The mysterious Mr. Roarke, the island's caretaker, greets them with the promise that their fantasies will be fulfilled. Each guest is eager for their turn, their desires ranging from the need for revenge, the longing for a lost love, the desire to change something from the past, or the simple wish for an adrenaline-filled adventure. As they embark on their personal fantasy experiences, they start to realize that the island operates under its own set of mystical rules.
As the guests' fantasies begin to unfold, they soon discover that the outcomes are not as they anticipated. The realization that every fantasy comes with a price becomes evident, and the distinction between fantasy and reality blurs. Attempts to end their personal fantasy stories lead to the understanding that the island holds a deeper, more sinister control over them, and it's not about granting wishes but revealing truths. The group must band together to unravel the island's mysteries and find a way to escape before their nightmares consume them completely, pushing them to confront their deepest fears and darkest secrets.

Fantasy Island fails as horror, lacks scares, & wastes potential; solid Blu-ray release but film disappoints.
