Island, The

The Island (1980)
Dir: Michael Ritchie

A reporter investigating some mysterious disappearances in the Caribbean discovers a band of modern day pirates.
Dull thriller from the writer of 'Jaws'. The plot suffers from some odd character development and a lack of exposition, the result feels rushed and poorly handled. There is a good concept in here somewhere, but it fails to provide any real thrills despite some brutal death scenes.
