Boys of Lost Island - Jaeme Hamilton, Mark Healey - DVD | moviebizz.com
featuring rare coming of age films from around the world.
SYNOPSIS: When a group of boys are stranded on a deserted island
after a storm destroys their boat, they know that the only way they'll survive
is to stick together. But when another storm breaches another boat, the boys
find they are sharing the island with some very evil criminals. Now it will
take some quick thinking and some clever plotting just to stay alive. And will
they ever be able to escape and get back home?
EDITORIAL REVIEW: Sometimes
it's hard to write positive comments about a film that just does not deserve
it. We try to be unbiased as possible, although sometimes it doesn't look that
way! Well...Boys of Lost Island could have been so much more. More than
what it became and what it will be remembered as: a cheap rip off and a slight
to one of the best coming-of-age films made in the 1960's...Lord
of the Flies. Boys of Lost Island was made roughly 6 years
after the original
LOTF and it
has pretty much the same story: a group of boys get stranded on a deserted
island, struggle to survive, and attempt to form their own "government" (by
making laws, and rules). Watching this 68-minute film you would think that the
story takes place over a couple of days. In fact, it supposedly takes place
over "several months" despite the impeccable appearance of the actors! Well
groomed, clean and washed, perfectly combed hair and not one piece of dirty
clothing! The acting by the boys is atrocious and as wooden as Greyson
Fletcher in John
from Cincinnati (sorry, Fletch...you can surf and sk8 better than most, but
you're a horrible actor). In fact, the acting in Boys of Lost Island is
somewhat humorous at times (check out our clip). There is a bright spot,
though: the price! Final word: steer clear unless you're a collector.
