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.
