Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Lee Eisenberg I knew nothing about "Dead Man's Island" when I started watching it, other than the casting of Barbara Eden and William Shatner (whose famous shows aired during the same years on NBC in the '60s), and the setting on an island. As it progressed I noticed a little similarity between the movie and Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None". In the end the movie turned out to be OK, not great. What caught my eye throughout the movie was that Eden's reporter stood out from the rest of the characters: most of them wear neutral colors most of the time, but she almost always wears bright colors, as though she's an anomaly in this group.What I mainly say about the movie is that the casting of Barbara Eden, William Shatner, Roddy McDowall, Olivia Hussey and Don Most means that a beautiful genie meets a captain traveling through space meets an intelligent ape meets drama's most famous lover meets a 1950s goof-ball.

gridoon2018 Essentially a reworking of familiar Agatha Christie formulas, "Dead Man's Island" is not a great movie, but I'm just glad that mysteries of this type are still being made. A remote island, a huge house, assassination attempts, family secrets, an amateur detective, and about a dozen suspects. But there is at least one rather unique twist on the formula (don't read the following sentence if you want to avoid SPOILERS: Usually when a character becomes the target of an unknown killer in these movies, he (or she) either gets killed in the first half ,or he (or she) survives to the end; here, NEITHER of those two things happens!). And then there's the cast: where else could you see people like David Faustino (of "Married With Children" fame), Traci Lords, and William Shatner all together? Nowhere. Though this movie largely belongs to Barbara Eden, who is not only the narrator and the amateur detective of the story, but also one of the HOTTEST 60+ years old actresses you'll ever see. Seriously, she makes even Traci Lords herself almost invisible. (**1/2)

nathid I hated this movie. The title and plot description may make it sound interesting, but believe me - it isn't.The first scene sees our hero, Barbara Eden getting into a boat to go to the island, when an Indian man - who happens to be sat at the dock - tells her, "That was Dead Man's Island. And it will be again.", or words to that effect.From then on, I could tell what sort of entertainment I was in for. The plot was completely unrealistic - in a bad way. Every cliche in the book was present here - I could predict every twist, including the ending, before it had happened.To be frank - for a TV thriller - this film didn't thrill me at all. I don't know why Barbara Eden - a fine actress - ever agreed to do this. She probably did it in an attempt to rescue it, but unfortunately, she is beaten by the poor script and talentless cast members, (including William Shatner, who I used to think was talented).

Jerry-9 What can I say! It has Barbara Eden in it and that is all you need! A rich man who believes someone is out to kill him hires his ex to solve the case. Who would want to divorce Barbara? Check it out if you can!
