The people of New York have been burying their unknown dead on Hart Island since 1869. Now real estate tycoon Rupert King wants to build what he calls "Hope City", supposedly to help the poor and homeless of the city "get a leg up", on this same island, with no thought of the current million or so "residents". Accompanied by a New York cop looking for a missing girl's body and some reluctant employees of the Department of Corrections, King makes his way to the island for the ground-breaking ceremony. But when his personal assistant goes missing, and night falls on the island, dark secrets are revealed, not only about the island itself, but King's "noble" plans for it as well. And the island's residents, with their souls in the form of countless and lethal flies, have no intention of being ignored.

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIf it wasn't for Malcolm McDowell slumming in this B film, it would have been a lot worse than just a bad film. |
| User ReviewPrivate UFor a low budget DTV, this movie offered pretty good chills and had a decent story. The ending was very weak, but what do you expect from an independent horror film? Decent for the most part. |
| User ReviewBrian Bnot what I expected, thought it was a zombie movie. should have figured from the cover it was a fly movie. other then that I didnt think it was too bad |
| User ReviewChristina RNot the best but for low budget it was pretty good. I don't get the point of those jump roping murdered girls all through the movie, I mean come on get over it. And the ending was kind of weak. For low budget it had a good story line. |
| User ReviewDavid BI wonder if there is this island that they send all the pauper bodies to in NY. |
| User ReviewJason Smoved way too slow. It was hard for me to stay interested in it. |
| User ReviewSonja ABoring, Boring, Boring, more Boring. Totally B-O-R-I-N-G!!! No shock factor, I mean this is the worst movie I've ever sat through. |
| User ReviewRyan BWhat a stupid movie, not worth wasting any more keystrokes. |
| User ReviewAl MFor starters, if you are expecting a zombie film, then you will be totally disappointed as I was. Island of the Dead features a somewhat promising premise about the desolate island where unclaimed bodies from NYC are buried. Somehow, the the film got Mos Def to not only act in but also offer music for the film. Plus, Malcolm McDowell's in it.....Ultimately, the film never quite makes sense as it opens like a television series about missing persons, becomes a film about corporate takeovers of mass graveyards, and then becomes a bizarre kind of creature-feature in which mutant flies turn people into the lamest zombies ever. A real piece of crap from beginning to end, Island of the Dead thinks it is way cooler and artistic than it is..... |
| User ReviewMichael AI started watching it mistaking it for a zombie film. Imagine how thrilled I was when I got flies instead. |
