Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
I wish I had a copy. I didn't have time to record it onto VHS. It was so good. Awesome star power. Wonderful script. A perfect movie. One of Barbara Eden's best. Loved the storm effects. The explosion. W H A T AAA+ flick No disappointments Suspenseful Really keeps you on your toes. Too good to miss. They should show it more often. Especially, instead of awful reality shows. Very good movie. 100 stars. Kudos to the cast and director. I'm not too big on Shatner, but what a performance. Morgan Fairchild was brilliant. And Barbara Eden's acting is unparalleled. Wish they'd put it on video or DVD. I would buy it if I had the chance.
I've just finished watching this movie and i found it quite enjoyable if unintentionally funny. If you love a little pot boiler murder mystery in the afternoon, this is your movie. don't expect too much from it and you'll enjoy. true, some of the stock lines and characters are in there. This is like an Agatha Christie movie really - the characters are two-dimensional but you're not here for that, are you? the mystery's the thing!and an impressive cast as well. i think they all did it for the pocket money myself. hey, you gotta eat, even in Hollywood! just tune in, turn off the brain, relax and enjoy the ride. oh, be warned. you get to see William Shatner in a bathing suit...
Caught Dead Man's Island on ITV in the UK recently and was completely bowled over by how stupendously bad it was. It was brilliant! What a cast -- Barbara Eden! William Shatner! Morgan Fairchild! Traci Lords!!!! Don (not Donny) Most!!! Christopher Atkins! Olivia Hussey! (poor thing) Malcom McDowell!! (Wasn't Rosie Grier available?) The writing and the acting were cringe-inducing from the start.Overflowing with cliches -- the tough but genteel Southern journo-cum-investigator (that would be Barb Eden, playing Henrietta O'something -- better known as Henry O.), the wealthy industrialist (that would be Shatner as Chase Prescott), the secluded island cursed by Indian legend. I'm not making this up!Best of all was Barbara Eden's outrageous lime green poly-blend pantsuit she wore as she interrogated the others about their whereabouts when the shots rang out that nearly killed Chase Prescott. Barbara, honey, you look positively Boca Ra
What can I say! It has Barbara Eden in it and that is all you need! A rich man who believes someone is out to kill him hires his ex to solve the case. Who would want to divorce Barbara? Check it out if you can!
