One morning while jogging on the beach a young man by the name of "Michael Pace" (Antonio Sabato Jr.) sees the body of a young woman unconscious and floating in the water. He rushes in and carries her to his large beach house and immediately summons a doctor and the local police. Although she remains unconscious the doctor gives her a clean bill of health and recommends that she remains there for the time being to rest and recuperate. When she finally awakens she suffers from apparent amnesia and doesn't recall her name. However, that doesn't stop Michael from becoming totally enamored with her and as a result they eventually end up sleeping together. But then he wakes up and realizes that it was all a dream. And the fact that it was all so vivid spurs him to produce a movie about it and as luck would have it the exact woman of his dreams comes to audition for the film. Unfortunately, there is much more about this woman than meets the eye and his dream soon turns into a terrible nightmare with catastrophic consequences for him and those he loves. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film had an interesting plot, a scenic location and a couple of attractive actresses in AnnaLynne McCord (as "Simone Delacroix") and Joanna Bacalso ("Sherry Pace"). Unfortunately, the complete lack of suspense and the obvious shoestring budget really hurt this movie and left me somewhat disappointed overall. Slightly below average.

Where is Wyclef Jean When you Need him?

It was my monthly Netflix Sleazefest that prompted me to choose this movie. Only the first part perhaps filled the sleaze part. Antonio Sabato Jr is infatuated by some woman that just drifted ashore on a island in the Bahamas, where he lived with his family. He worked, I think, as a screenwriter. The woman is some type of entity. Is she real or not?
He has dreams about her and it looks like the movie is about what he dreamed about. He doesn't trust her because she has some type of sexual affect on men. And people start ending up dead. OK I said this seems interesting. Your average sleazy mystery. The type you Shannon Tweed or Andrew Stevens.
But then all of a sudden it turns into a Haitian Refugee movie. Now I am not going to say how this plays out but I have never seen anything so outrageous. All I have to say it is a revenge movie. If you are willing to see something you never seen take a look but if you get mad because you will never get the time you took to watch the movie proceed with caution. I gave it a generous 4 because James Brolin actually gave it the sleaze factor.

this movie sucks

This was a political statement About Haitian and Cuban immigrants on homemade rafts floating to Florida. There is no suspense or mystery is the movie is very predictable. There is a weak attempt to link voodoo to the story. But it fails.
If you get past that You will listen to actors Who actually pause while reading their lines
You will see 1 actor jump into the ocean but yet multiple underwater shots show the ocean with walls and corners. You also see 1 scene Rotate tween afternoon and pitch black night.
The acting is bad directions horrible And editing a joke.

Yeah, a lot of us watch the bad movies because they are fun. It's a real shame MST 3000 rapped up before they had a chance to skewer this celluloid tomato. I could only stomach 15 minutes in the middle of this stinker so admittedly I can only speak to what I saw, but hey, 15 minutes was enough to compel me to write this review. The basic premise is about a location shoot on an island in the "spooky" Bermuda triangle region. Apparently some mysterious force makes women go bad here, wreaking mayhem on and off the movie set. The film jumps around a lot, really bad editing, no reason. The script must have been penned by someone who knew someone who knew someone and was owed a big favor so that they also could direct. The dialog is ridiculous. The events improbable, the reactions subdued and phony. There is some dude who gets caught having sex with the lead bad girl, SImone, but his girlfriend is the forgiving type ushering him naked back to their room, while some guy is watching thru the window. Another chick freaks out when her boyfriend is kissing another girl in a movie scene. ( doesn't she know its acting, why is she even on the set?) Some dude gets stabbed for real when the prop knife malfunctions- however he doesn't let out a peep and the girl thats stabbing him doesn't feel the resistance of the blade going in? Thats one pretty sharp prop knife! Of course two seconds after the killing there just happens to be a cop, with evidence-bag in hand, who takes the knife away. No one is freaked out, no one cares, no one checks on the dead body, no one questions the girl who stabbed him or the prop-master, movie resumes shooting the next day! There's a cafeteria scene where we see a woman behave as if she is sneaking food to a little girl sitting behind her however the girl already had a full plate of food on her lap and is out in the open for all to see, so what's with the covert operation? Our veteran lead is none other than James Brolin, who went from daytime soapdom to losing his mind in Amityville Horror to end up as the token goy for uber-alpha-diva Babs Streisand. They sort of showcase him in this stinker as the Burt Reynolds' director in Boogie Nights.
I'd recommend this for cheap laughs, but in good conscious, I cannot.

Words Alone Cannot Describe How Bad This Movie Is...YET, IT IS Fun!
Dark_Lord_Mark11 September 2018
How do you go about rating a movie that's so bad it's good?
First my rating was simply a fun factor. This movie is so unbelievable bad on every level, yet ridiculous and cheesy and awful and....yep...must see to believe.
It's Troll 2 bad....but again, I preach, it's fun.
The movie is of revenge, and based on a creature of myth called the Siren. A mysterious girl shows up to, get this, audition for a role in a movie that's not really a movie, but a re-enactment of a real even in the movie. Confusing...well good.
This movie has some silly lines, some sexiness, Antonio Sobado Jr. is over the top in his acting....I mean the movie has some really bad acting. I am confused if it's intentional or not, but that does not matter.
It's actually well paced and NEVER boring. I think, if you like bad movies, with stupid plot(s), and silly characters and some sex appeal...this might be worth seeing.
As a movie it fails at every level and a 2 out of 10. But if you love bad movies, it rarely gets better than this, 9 of 10.
Recommended to bad movie lovers.

Few People Understood This One...
Falconeer11 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The idea that dolphins are some kind of "protectors of human life" is the basis of this strange film. And this is true, as dolphins have been known to rescue drowning people. A group of Haitian refugees try to force themselves onto a yacht full of rich white people, who of course panic, and shoot and kill them all. Then they keep it a secret. But someone/something witnesses the atrocity and takes human form in order to hunt down those on board, and end their lives. The suggestion that a dolphin transforms into a stunning "siren" to seduce men to their deaths is very original and unexpected from a film that initially looks like a typical erotic thriller. But if one pays attention they will note that the film contains no actual female nudity, and only one scene of male nudity. Despite the low budget the film looks absolutely gorgeous and the cast is mostly very appealing. I like the unique twist, and the idea of a "guardian angel' coming to avenge the deaths of innocents. For those easily offended, this is very un-PC; using the subject of refugees dying at sea to make a movie for entertainment purposes, but it does entertain and the sudden shift in tone will take the viewer by surprise. Also the "film within a film" structure is interesting, and seems to borrow that idea from Godard's "Contempt." Aesthetically "Bad Girl Island" looks like the kind of film that requires little thought, but can be rewarding to those that give it their full attention. And of course fans of Antonio Sabato Jr. will want to have a look as he is at his sexiest. On a side note, when seeing James Brolin casting himself in such a role in a film that he produced, I could not help but think of the old adage, "there's no fool like and old fool...."
A writer making a film of a dream he had and gradually losing control of both the story and of reality
clanciai4 January 2023
This film begins with a mystery and ends up in mystery, so the title of it is entirely justified. A writer on Bermuda (apparently well off) comes across a young lady lying in the water, carried there by a dolphin. She is unconscious, and when he brings her to life she doesn't know anything about anything, apparently she suffers from amnesia, doctors and the police are contacted, she is photographed and leaves her fingerprints, and when she is left alone with her rescuer they have a relationship. Naturally his wife (they have a daughter) objects about this, but then he wakes up and finds it was all just a dream. However, that dream was so real and intriguing, so he decides to participate in a movie getting shot and have that dream into the story, and the director (James Brolin) is enthusiastic about it. They need a girl to play the lead, a siren kind of figure, and they find just the right girl - who is the very same girl our young writer was dreaming about. Here the plot gets complicated, as a yacht is found abandoned with blood all over it, apparently there has been some mass slaughter on board, and there are many similar stories of people mysteriously disappeared since 1946 without a trace, and this abandoned yacht with blood all over it but no corpses is added to those mysteries. As the shooting of the film proceeds, we learn that the director ("Terry Bamba" - James Brolin) has had something to do with the massacre on the yacht, as he was there filming it, which is proved after his accidental death, but was it accidental? There are numerous other accidental deaths that never are being followed up, and it all comes down to the mysterious lady in white who can't be traced and who apparently takes on identities of people long since dead. There is voodoo and magic and what not involved in this plot, and although it is impossible to sort it all out, It's a fascinating film, the plot is more than intriguing, and it will leave you thinking. After all, there are more things in heaven and earth than in our philosophy.
Why is the score so low?

I don't get it. This movie is not bad at all.
Why is it considered a bad movie, I don't know. It talks about a siren, an evil creature and Voodoo. I'm sure you don't believe in anything like that, but still the topic is really fascinating.
Acting and directing are not so bad as people say, it's not a masterpiece, but I spent some good time.
I would think that many people aren't anymore able to appreciate the small, little things and every time they want movies to remember forever. Those are people who are often unsatisfied and it's normal, they always want the best without accepting that only few times you can have something extraordinary.
Here there is even more than a just acceptable movie, the script is OK, there is mystery, the end is satisfying, acting and directing are good enough and that's it. What do you want more???
It has been shot in the Bahamas, so the landscape is amazing. I really enjoyed this movie.
My score is quite high as the score of this movie was 3.3. It's absurd, it doesn't deserve only 3 stars, it's totally unfair.
I just gave it some stars more to rise the score a little bit.
I have been thinking that I really like it, I'm not kidding.
Just to say something to someone who are not clever enough to understand how the life works... start to appreciate the little things that the life is offering to you and your life will be better.
