Fantasy Island's Reboot Is A Horror Movie - Here's Why

This article compares the old TV version to DS, which, as far as I'm concerned, is an insult to DS. But maybe that's just me...

Never watched it. It's not from "the same era" as Dark Shadows--the mid to late Seventies was a very different time from the late Sixties, and a filmed weekly primetime series is a very different type of animal from a daily daytime gothic serial.

The "author" of that puff-piece probably never saw a single episode of any of the shows referenced in this PR.

And if the Banana Splits can be "re-booted" as a chainsaw splatter film, why not Fantasy Island--I think it is very unlikely that fans of the original show will bother going to see the film, in any event.
