Island of Death (1977)

Starring: Robert Behling, Jane Lyle
Director: Nico Mastorakis

Premise:
A British couple arrive on small Greek island and proceed to cause havoc by going on a murder spree.

My Take:
This movie contains some outlandish situations revolving around bestiality, incest, raping hippies, sexism, and homophobia. It results in lots of killing and nudity. Unfortunately really just shocking for the sake of being shocking and not much substance behind the actions (or generic reasons at best). And the acting is terrible by everyone involved. Supposedly it's notable in the exploitation and Greek cinema, so film buffs may want to watch it.

Rating: Warning
