A British couple's Greek holiday erupts into a notorious spree of transgressive terror.
ISLAND OF DEATH
The lucky ones got their brains blown out!!
A British couple on a break on a small Greek Island, spreading terror beyond anything the Islanders could have ever imagined. Only stopping every once in a while to shag anything that moves, be it a man, woman or an animal. But will they go unpunished, or the inspector from London will be able to put an end to their killing spree?
Pack sunscreen, but leave your good taste at home.
If your idea of a Mediterranean getaway involves taboo-shattering mayhem, Island of Death is your fever dream. Few films cram this much sex, violence, and exploitation into one sun-baked Greek island, and Nico Mastorakis doesn't flinch from the extremity. Consider this a boundary-pushing artifact from the wildest end of 1970s Eurocult cinema.

Island of Death is a 1976 Greek horror-thriller film directed by Nico Mastorakis about a British couple who unleash a wave of violence and debauchery on a small Greek island.
Synopsis
Island of death has it all – sex, torture, racism, sexism, homophobia, Christian-ploitation, hippies, gratuitous nudity, gay sex, lesbian sex, rape, gay rape, golden showers, fart as an insult, mysogyny, drugs, bestiality…
THIS is what exploitation cinema is all about. Before I continue, if you want graphic sex, look elsewhere, this is strictly soft-core (and includes bush in full frontal due to the era in which it was filmed), and the violence is not really graphic gore (gore-hounds look elsewhere too).
But for trash auteurs, this will be the movie you’ve always wanted to watch (even if you didn’t know it). It gets more and more obscene and ridiculous as the movie continues, breaking all rules of political correctness and taste. The madness is set to a wacky, funky, totally inappropriate 70s soundtrack and has moments of absolute hilarity, often coming from the dialog. I was very impressed with this film watching it for the first time last night and will watch it many, many more times. Of all the ‘cult’ films I’ve got from internet shopping stores, this is the most satisfying thus far, absolutely not a let down. Unless you have the wrong idea of what sort of movie this will be (ie: extremely gory, porn or an A-grade movie) you can’t go wrong.
Why Cult
Set against the scenic backdrop of a Greek island, this film turns paradise into a playground for unrestrained depravity.
From bestiality to golden showers, the film gleefully checks off almost every forbidden box in the exploitation playbook.
Despite the lurid reputation, it's strictly soft-core—so the shock comes from excess, not explicitness.
Nico Mastorakis writes, directs, and even appears (uncredited), orchestrating this notorious descent into sun-drenched madness.
