Warning: there may be spoilers in this review.The story, it is easy to follow. I would classify this movie as being an action suspense thriller; rather than being classical horror. The background music is suggestive of journey to the center of the earth, or of the mysterious island; and works well with the film. The team up of the main characters suggests in possibility of character models for Mystery Incorporated. You have two guys and two girls; one jock and one nerd (no offense to Velma).I feel that there is a decent amount of talent that was gathered for this film, and all though the story was not the best to follow it was a good movie.For originality, for talent, and for acting; I would give the film at least three stars out of five. Though, a hunter hunting the rarest of game does not stand against the horror films of today, there is one scene in the film that will get the heart pumping three times as fast.If you are a fan of slash films, and of classical horror; this is a good movie for you to enjoy, home alone; on a dark and scary night.

Yes, the comparison to both "The Most Dangerous Game" and "Island of Lost Souls" (later two "Dr. Moreau" movies) are obvious from the get-go, and the presence of Robert Reed will also create curiosity. But other than that, there's nothing to recommend about this cheaply filmed horror movie where the quality is so low that anything possibly scary about it ends up being lost. Bad photography and sound, poor acting by most and most obviously an insipid screenplay make this one of the most forgettable of low-grade horror films all over the country through drive-ins and underground showings. There are some classics among this genre, but sadly this isn't one of them.Robert Reed does add a touch of class, and it is apparent that as much as he probably hated being in it (being a stage trained actor), he still took it as seriously as he would later do with the squeaky clean Mike Brady. Wilton Graff is the campy villain who resembles assumptive portraits of Lucifer and eats his role up as if he was trying to out-do all of those Tod Slaughter British horror classics of the 30's and any of Bela Lugosi's later works. You half expect him to quote Lugosi from "Bride of the Monster". That would be an improvement over the dialog he is forced to recite.

Not a terrific movie by any stretch, but not as bad as its rep, either.Instead of taking it seriously, watch it for what it is: a cheesy remake of "The Most Dangerous Game." Of course, it's not suspenseful--except as the runtime nears its end, with no obvious resolution in sight--but the story's been told so many times, how could it be? You might have a better time by focusing on its little quirks: why does the dangerous, experienced hunter go into a steamy jungle wearing a buttoned-up leather jacket and a black fedora? Why do the henchmen all dress exactly alike--horizontally striped shirts, dark pants and dark caps? (All they need are "clever" name tags to resemble the interchangeable thugs on the "Batman" TV show.) Finally, take pity on poor Pete. Quicksand around? Pete steps in it. A club-wielding looney? Pete gets clobbered. "Someone needs to scout around for the madman with a crossbow, while the rest of us stay safe. Pete, YOU do it." "Ummm...okay..." Poor guy.

A group of youngsters land on a beautiful, seemingly deserted island while taking a detour on their boating trip. After exploring the wooded island for a few hours they run into a seemingly sweet older man who convinces them to stay at his house since it is getting dark and there are a lot of scary animals roaming the woods at night. The group all agree but there's just something not right about this older man. It turns out he is a crazy millionaire who lets victims loose on the island while he hunts them down and kills them to keep as "trophies". Really not a bad story (although not original) but the execution really is a bit silly. The dialog really is bad especially at the beginning. Robert Reed plays one of the youngsters in an early role of his. It is somehow amusing to hear his voice once you know him as Mike Brady. Although most of the acting was plastic, I thought the part of the crazy millionaire played by Wilton Graff, was pretty decent in what is clearly a role best suited for Vincent Price. A few of the bit parts were well played too actually. This is a remake of "The most dangerous game" that falls short in many places but I really didn't feel bored with this 68 minute movie.
