9 Nightmarish Island-Set Horror Movies

Island of Lost Souls

We pick our 9 favorite freaky island-set horror movies

Horror movies about human beings removed from society and left stranded in the middle of nowhere are a dime a dozen. Throw in some livid local yokels with power tools et voila, you have the recipe for more movies than I dare tally.  But today, on this fine, weird Wednesday, we’re going to riff not on shockers about people lost in the woods at the mercy of inbred killers, but about movies with people whisked away to uncharted land masses in the middle of the ocean.

Yes, today it’s our favorite island-set horror movies, where bad things happen to folks who have either been in some sort of shipwreck or plane crash and ended up in some kind of Green Hell or have visited some sort of island on vacation, only to find themselves trapped and stranded, unable to scream for help when killers and creepy critters come to call. In some cases, there is no external threat, rather when society is removed from the rules of engagement, these people end up simply turning on themselves.

Note that island horror movies are a sub-genre unto themselves, and these 9 nightmarish films are not the best necessarily, but rather our favorites. We encourage you to reveal your own picks in the comments section below. And no, Castaway is not a horror movie and doesn’t count, neither does that episode of Gilligan’s Island with the spider in the cave. Enjoy!
