Monster Island will stream this July for Shudder 10. And if you are in the mood for a WWII film, a monster film and man versus creature film, then here it is. Enjoy.
Based on Malay Folklore and drawing inspiration from Creature From the Black Lagoon, this creature feature is set in World War II. A Japanese ship transporting prisoners of war to occupied territories for slave labor. After being torpedoed by allied submarines, a Japanese soldier and a British POW are stranded on a deserted island and soon discover that they’re being hunted by a ferocious mythological creature, the Orang Ikan. Both the soldier and POW realize that they must work together to survive the unknown, despite their differences.
The film stars Dean Fukjioka (Fullmetal Alchemist) and Callum Woodhouse (All Creatures Great & Small). It was directed by Mike Wiluan.
Monster Island is streaming On Shudder July 25th.
