This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Attack of the Beast Creatures (also known as Hell Island, and Beast Creatures) is a 1985 American independent horror film produced, and directed by Michael Stanley. It stars Robert Nolfi, Julia Rust, Robert Lengyel, Lisa Pak, and Frank Murgalo. The film centers on a group of survivors who wash up on the shores of a seemingly deserted island in 1920, after their ship capsizes. While there, it slowly becomes apparent that the island is home to a tribe of small doll-like creatures, who begin stalking and killing the survivors one by one.
The film was developed from an idea by producer William Szlinsky, who approached Stanley with a possible scene for a film involving a man's face being eaten away by acid. Feeling that this would make a great scene for a horror film, Stanley came up with the idea of an island inhabited by a tribe of doll-like monsters that killed anyone who came there.
Principal photography began sometime in 1983, in Stamford, Connecticut, with a majority of the film's cast being inexperienced actors. Although completed in 1983, the film remained in distribution hell until 1985, when it was picked up by Joseph Brenner who specialized in distributing independent and foreign films. Originally intended to be released under the title Hell Island, it was subsequently changed to its current title on Brenner's insistence, who released the film with little promotion on July 12, 1985. It was largely ignored by mainstream critics and otherwise received largely negative reviews. Over the years, some critics have commended the film for its enthusiastic approach, and cheesy B-movie charm, and it has gained a small cult following.
