InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

GL84 Heading to a small, abandoned island for a traditional game, two groups of college students unwittingly summon a cursed, demonic piñata that begins a rampage of terror on the groups, forcing them to band together to stop it.An enjoyably cheesy affair, this one has some rather good parts to it that goes along rather well with its few intentionally creepy moments. The opening history of the being is pure cheese, as are the CGI-heavy sequences of it morphing into various designs and body types, which are just so goofy and clumsy that it's impossible not to be somewhat entertained at what's presented during these scenes. There's also the film's rather convoluted back-story for the participants of the expedition, who are given way more than is necessary for these kinds of films and don't really need one considering what's happening during the horror scenes, which are quite fun and kinetic. The piñata eye-view of the scenes adds some excitement, the stalking is great as the island paradise location is supposedly abandoned and that allows for the kills to come off infinitely better than expected. A cheese-fest through-and-through, but still entertaining.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity and drug use

Anders Twetman Last night I saw "Horrors of Spider Island", a cheesy movie about youths on an island getting killed by monsters. "Demon Island" is much the same concept but done some 40 years later so it might be interesting to compare the two in an attempt to review to latter. Both have a cast consisting of young people, several of which are good looking women. The gang ends up on an island and are unable to leave, in "Horrors of Spider Island" they crash there, in "Demon Island" they go there willingly to party but the monster breaks their boats (how the monster knew it had to do that is a mystery). Most of the characters are pretty much just cardboard cutouts meant to be monster food, even though most of the "Horror s of Spider Island" characters actually survive while "Demon Island" kills them off.The monster is utterly ridiculous in both movies, half man half spider thing in one and demon piñata in the other. Although it must be said that the special effects in "Demon Island" are worse not to mention annoying as the monsters vision is an absolute joke, and everything the monster does is really loud.In both movies the monster dies in the end and what's left of the cast go home. The main difference is that "Horrors of Spider Island" is slow paced and mind numbingly boring, at least "Demon Island" has more action in it and i therefor the better movie. However, "Demon Island" takes itself a bit too seriously when it could just have been some campy fun.

AzureKite This was one of the most pathetic movies iv ever seen. I watched it on IFC, when nothing else was on AT ALL. This movie can be summed up in 3 words- killer goddamn piñata. Yes I said piñata. The story is very simple, the acting is very lame, and everyones an idiot. There are only 2 good things I can name about this movie 1 - One of the actresses is a playboy playmate.2 - The killer piñata is one vicious little bitch.In all seriousness, there's 1 really hot chick and the Pinata, though pathetic and cheesy, brings the gore fest like Pinhead and Leatherface, just without the awesome demonic powers or the chainsaw. This is the kind of movie you rent for $1.00 when there's nothing else to do, or watch on TV for free as its pretty much worthless.

danabunner I don't understand why this movie isn't on the Worst 100 list. I've seen 7 movies on that list, and this one is worse than any of those. If I gave a 10th grade class an assignment to create special effects and they turned in the ones in this movie, I might feel sorry enough for them to give them a D. I hope they didn't pay the special effects team more than $500. Not only are they embarrassing poor, the animated figure doesn't look like the costumed figured used in the close ups.Meanwhile the acting is so stiff that one is left wondering if the final footage came from the 2nd or 3rd reading of the script. Or if the script was simply being written an hour before the filming.If you are looking for a silly horror movie to watch with a group of friends for laughs, this is a very good candidate. On that scale, I would give it an 8.
