Forbidden Island is an interesting slice of 90s action cinema. The film follows Rei, a psychotherapist who gets entangled with this sinister cult that employs some truly bizarre brainwashing tactics. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it really ramps up during the more intense sequences. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the practical effects used in the cult's rituals have a gritty authenticity that's hard to ignore. The performances, particularly by the lead, bring a depth that you don’t often see in similar low-budget films.
