Screamers [L'isola degli uomini pesce] (1979) - Newspaper Ad

Oakland Tribune - May 8, 1981

Roger Corman and New World Pictures took a considerable amount of heat for this infamous bit of advertising hyperbole, one that had audiences and critics hurling accusations of false advertising. Screamers was an Italian fantasy film, original title The Island of the Fishmen, that did not feature men getting turned inside out. 

Although a monster movie that appears to stitch together plot elements from both The Island of Dr. Moreau and Creature from the Black Lagoon, the movie is yet another gap in my viewing history that I really should fill before departing this mortal coil.
