In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

ISLE OF DESTINY is a B-movie type thriller about an aviatrix, played with relish by June Lang, who gets entangled in the schemes of a criminal boss and who ends up crash-landing her plane on a Pacific island as a result. This movie has quite a deal of incident but much of it is low rent, with a sluggish pace instead of excitement and a general paint-by-numbers feel.The cast is a good one and the actors certainly put in the right effort. However, this movie doesn't really know what it wants to be. It celebrates female independence and spirit on the one hand but then dates things with the jungle girl character attacking people with a blow dart, who feels like she belongs in a Tarzan flick. Otherwise it's a distinctly average movie.
