Creature Feature MONSTER ISLAND Arrives on Shudder July 25th – Check Out The Trailer

Looking for a monster movie to get you through to October, (okay really Sept. 1) then check out this trailer for MONSTER ISLAND.

Based on Malay Folklore and drawing inspiration from Creature From the Black Lagoon, this creature feature is set in World War II. A Japanese ship transporting prisoners of war to occupied territories for slave labor. After being torpedoed by allied submarines, a Japanese soldier and a British POW are stranded on a deserted island and soon discover that they’re being hunted by a ferocious mythological creature, the Orang Ikan. Both the soldier and POW realize that they must work together to survive the unknown, despite their differences. Starring Dean Fukjioka (Fullmetal Alchemist) and Callum Woodhouse (All Creatures Great & Small).

In their Overlook Film Festival 2025 review, Dread Central said “Fans of hand-to-hand combat, war movies, and creature features are in for a pleasant surprise.”

The classic 1954 film is a must-see and this is an exciting nod to the original CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON. Definitely stream it during these hot days of Summer. (trailer)
