Quick Answer

What is Island Fury about?

Island Fury is a 1983 American action-horror film directed by Henri Charr about kidnapped teenagers who are taken to a remote island, only to face a family of crazed cannibals.

Programmer's Pick

With a title like Please Don't Eat the Babies on the cutting room floor, Island Fury leans into its grindhouse roots—kidnappings, cannibals, and more skin than sunscreen. If you like your horror with a side of sleaze and a dash of unhinged island hospitality, this one’s got your number.
