And they should've cast the original Mr. Roarke look-a-like lol. Directing was good, but the writing was riddled with plot issues. Cinematography was great as was the island setting. Casting and acting was otherwise good, and nice to see the stunning Maggie Q. Not a film to brag about, but still entertaining and undeserving of such a low rating. It's a solid 7/10 from me.

A group of guests arrive at the Fantasy Island, a paradisiacal tropical resort hosted by the mysterious Mr. Roarke (Michael Pe?a) and his staff, with the promise that their secret fantasies or dreams come true in the island. He interviews each new arrival to make clear that their fantasies just end when concluded and to confirm each wish. Gwen Olsen (Maggie Q) regrets the day she said no to the proposal of her boyfriend. Melanie Cole (Lucy Hale) seeks revenge on her high-school mate Sloane Maddison (Portia Doubleday). Patrick Sullivan (Austin Stowell) dreams on being a soldier like his father. The gay Brax Weaver (Jimmy O. Yang) and his brother J. D. Weaver (Ryan Hansen) just want to party. But soon they realize that there is a price to pay to the island for the wishes come true.<br/><br/>&quot;Fantasy Island&quot; is a highly entertaining fantasy film with good twists. The Metascore and the IMDb User Rating are ridiculous, misguiding the viewers. The plot is a combination of &quot;The Twilight Zone&quot; with the franchise &quot;House&quot; (1985) and not a horror movie. Fortunately, I did not read the reviews in IMDb and I look forward waiting for a sequel. My vote is seven.<br/><br/>Title (Brazil: &quot;A Ilha da Fantasia&quot; (&quot;The Fantasy Island&quot;)

This movie was surprisingly really good. Everything in this movie has a reason and I love it when things come full circle. Everything made sense at the end and it gave me goosebumps. It didn&#39;t have some super deep meaning but I still thought it was interesting and really fun to watch. Overall a really fun thriller to watch and my eyes were glued to the screen the whole time.
