The popular ’70s television series Fantasy Island is finally getting the movie treatment, but not in the way it was seen before.
No, this version is similar to something like this year’s The Banana Splits Movie, in that it’ll take a classic television series of yore and turn it on its head —imagining what it would be like if it were in the horror genre instead.
It’s a risky gamble, especially if they want to appeal to fans of the old TV series.
But it’s also under the Blumhouse mold, which might give it the boost it needs to become both profitable for producers and enjoyable for moviegoers.
