A group of businessmen and convicts are stranded on a “graveyard” island off of New York City. Giant flies eat them. This movie smelled like ass. I could barely keep my eyes on the screen because the wallpaper was so much more interesting. And had a better plot.
I’ll admit I was biased, I saw the title and visions of a zombie flick danced in my head. This greatly added to my disappointment when I discovered that instead of zombies, the movie was about giant, evil flies.
Malcolm McDowell is in this, and he’s a pretty good evil businessman. That’s the only compliment this flick is ever going to get from me. Little Alex really deserves better than the shame of this movie.
