Description: Forget idyllic beaches; the true landscape of Jeff Wadlow's "Fantasy Island" is the treacherous terrain of the human psyche. This isn't your grandfather's escapist fantasy; it's a darkly twisted exploration of desire, consequence, and the unsettling price of unchecked ambition. While initially alluring with its promise of wish fulfillment, the film cleverly subverts expectations, delivering a chilling descent into the shadows of the self. The performances are strong, each character grappling with their inner demons amidst the vibrant, yet increasingly menacing, island setting. Ultimately, "Fantasy Island" (2020) is a stylish and unsettling thriller, a cautionary tale disguised as a vacation paradise.
