This flight to Puerto Rico hasn't been under a good star from the get-go, as the crew was pretty much forced to take a dangerous criminal (Noel Gugliemi) on board for extradiction against the express advice of the flight's security officer (Tom Sizemore) - and of course this results in a shoot-out almost immediately after the plane's airborne. But that's only a minor problem compared to the freak thunderstorm the plane gets into that soon makes it crash inside the Bermuda Triangle, and only a couple of handful of survivors make it to an island - but they're only moderately suited for survival in the first place, and this isn't a place that's easy to survive in as is ... and then our motley crew is attacked by monsters, and only the interference of a stranger, Bruce (John Wells) saves them from certain death. Now Bruce, it turns out, has been surviving since World War I, which doesn't sound possible since he still seems young and in pretty good shape, but it becomes quite apparent that he knows what he's doing, and if our survivors want to survive some more, it's a good bet to throw in their lot with him. But FBI agent Victor (Wesley Cannon), part of the extradition crew, wants to be alpha dog himself, so without knowing how he promises a way out and splits the group in two. Thing is, neither group is exactly a safe haven since the monsters attack everyone equally, and without - or even with - a decent plan, survival chances are slim ...

Genre fave Sarah French is the voice of reason in this one while horror shooting star Sheri Davis plays the perfect Karen.

Now I wouldn't go nearly as far as calling Bermuda Island the Citizen Kane of monster movies, because it quite simply isn't (nor I dare say has it set out to be) - but that said, it's a film that's really good at what it does, and that's delivering suspense, shocks, action and gore in all the right places, keeping things tight at all times, and presenting us with a nice mix of relatable characters and well-drawn caricatures, which all adds up to really nice genre entertainment. And of course, the lovely yet perfectly moody locations help to bring this one to life, as do the rather nicely crafted practical creature effects.
