Synopsis
The Island (1980) is a seafaring horror-thriller starring Michael Caine that you can watch online on iFILM. Reporter Blair Maynard talks his editor into a story about boats vanishing without trace off Florida — and brings his young son along.
A routine assignment curdles into a nightmare. On a forgotten scrap of land, Maynard stumbles onto a community that has lived cut off from the world for three centuries: the inbred descendants of buccaneers who still plunder and butcher passing yachts by the old pirate code. There's no sailing away. Their leader, Nau (David Warner), decides to keep the reporter as a captive and groom the boy into the clan.
Peter Benchley adapted his own novel — the Jaws author once again finding terror at sea, this time with no shark in the water. Michael Ritchie directs. Brutal, bloody and bleak, it's survival horror for anyone who likes their hero cornered by a merciless enemy. Stream The Island online on iFILM.
