huh? the target of this movie have no idea about the fantasy island tv show, i didnt even know it existed until nowl, at first i thought you were talking about love island reality lmao

Everything about this movie looks fun, and early tracking is promising considering they always understimate Horror movies, if it gets decent reviews, I can see it surpassing the first HDD.

Though Love Island with a horror twist is also not a bad idea for a movie (some would say the actual thing is a horror show in its own right)....

 

Haven't seen a Fantasy Island rerun or heard a "the plane, the plane" joke in years so I wouldn't expect the under 25 to crowd to know the original show at all. I like the concept of the movie, it just can't really much on nostalgia to bring in an audience.

That trailer looked really poor. Also it’s now called Blumhouses Fantasy Island, last time Blumhouse put their name in the title it was Truth Or Dare and that was dire.

I keep getting the trailer for this on Hulu. Looks pretty dumb and the trailer's starting to get on my nerves.

[MOVIEGUY]

Lol I wasn't but okay

[Blaze Heatnix]

For a final trailer, this was very poor and short. 

 

I'm not feeling it and I'm also afraid of the director ( though I loved Never Back Down and somehow liked Kick Ass 2. Rest was crappy, though )

[Boxofficerules]

Is it true there are no Thursday previews for this?

[Boxofficerules]

Is anyone talking about this, saw hardly anyone post or talk about the final trailer. Didn’t see it get many likes or shares either.

[aladdino]

i see 14/38m for this

Seems to be flying under most people's radar.

Of course with a 7 Million dollar budget the studio is not going to lose any money.

End of 2019 / January 2020 has been rough for horror in general.

 

Black Christimas was horrible ( D+ CinemaScore )

The Grudge was horrible ( F CinemaScore )

Underwater was so so ( C CinemaScore )

The Turning was dogshit ( F CinemaScore )

Gretel & Hansel wasn't loved either ( C- CinemaScore )

 

I'm not feeling Fantasy Island. Its concept is interesting at first glance, but the execution might be a mess. There are at least 5 main characters, each one with a different wish. Tons of questions to be answered. I got worried when the girl said "everything and anything is possible". I hope movie won't lose itself with the plot. 

[The Horror of Lucas Films]

This movie has a lot of potencial, but Uni needs to step-up the marketing for it. They're losing their ablity to market a Horror movie to teenage girls.

[DAJK]

If Uni has great marketing over the next 7 days (I doubt it) I could see this opening on par with Truth or Dare. 

[Maxmoser3]

I’m getting PG-13 Cabin In The Woods vibes from this
