Again we get another captain warning the main characters about this island they’re eager to get their asses on, and aagin uttering it’s “Blood Island” name, but this time telling them it’s “cursed,” and then following that up with an incident involving the rescue of one of the island’s natives that suddenly turned homicidal, before this dude leapt overboard he was shot and bled green blood. Again, I have yet to take in any of the extras yet, so I don’t know the mindset that got this particular movie made, but it feels like the filmmakers wanted to either remake Brides or just do another movie set in the same location, with similar themes. His character too is totally new but he’s still playing the same sinister manservant type, this time by the name of Razak, only difference this time is his character is a mute. Even though John Ashley is back, he’s playing a totally different character, and actor Bruno Punzalan, who played manservant Goro in Brides, is back again, despite dying in that previous film. And it has has no direct connection to Brides Of Blood either. Brides Of Blood had a more interesting story, characters and effects, and didn’t plod along like this one does. Sadly, I have to state this installment didn’t do a damn thing for me. Read my review of the first movie ( Terror Is A Man), the second ( Brides Of Blood) and the fourth and final ( Beast Of Blood). This is the third movie in the franchise.
