A loving homage & parody of the Italian cannibal films of the late 70s.

In Antonello Giallo's follow up to the notorious Pleasures of the Damned, private investigator Jack Steele is hired by a mysterious treasure hunter to help find the lost treasure of Marco Polo. Along for the trip is Jack's adopted son, Billy. Their search brings them to an island off the coast of Argentina... and into the clutches of a primitive cannibal tribe, the Yamma Yamma. Alexis Kinkaid, a mysterious recluse who has made his home on the island amongst the cannibals, may hold the key to unlocking the island's secret... if they don't end up in the belly of a savage first! Isle of the Damned, shot on location in Argentina in 1980, brought Giallo under fire yet again... this time by the Argentinean government, who issued a warrant for Giallo's arrest under suspicions of abuse of the native peoples. Giallo fled the country before he could go to trial. The film has been long out of print, but is presented here in a digitally remastered form.

Isle Of The Dammed is a must see! One of the best comedies I've seen in years!! Shocking, grotesque, vile and I loved every minute of it. This movie will blow your fuckin' mind away & your brain will need a vacation after you view it." - Cult Movies Magazine "Isle of the Damned kills anything the major studios pawn off on us as comedy... easily the best film of it's type since Bad Taste!" - DVD Holocaust "Chock full of nasty stuff." - Fangoria "Isle of the Damned is incredibly silly, insanely violent, and loads of fun!" - Shock Cinema "[Isle of the Damned] truly wears it's love of Italian cannibal films firmly on it's bloody sleeve" - Shock Till You Drop "Isle of the Damned is a side-splittingly perfect comedy, by genre geeks for genre geeks." - Ultra Violent "I was blown away by this film... Isle of the Damned makes Cannibal Holocaust look like Mary Poppins by comparison." - Horror Yearbook "Director Mark Colegrove has delivered a film that is both the apex and epitome of all that defined Mondo Italian cinema brutality." - Killing Boxx
