I Escaped Devil's Island (1973) is a movie I recently watched on Hulu. The storyline follows a man imprisoned in 1918 on a French Guiana Island. There's a legend that no one has ever escaped but the prize prisoner will look to change that.
This movie is directed by William Witney (The Crimson Ghost) and stars Jim Brown (The Running Man), Christopher George (El Dorado), Richard Ely (Love of Life), Richard Rust (Colors ) and Paul Richards (Beneath the Planet of the Apes).
The storyline for this picture is interesting due to the settings, locals and circumstances. The movie is a bit uneven with some fun, great and bad sequences. There's a gruesome kill scene to start the movie, some awesome fight scenes that contain a legendary back breaking sequence and a shark scene that is both fun and bad. The blood in this looked a little too fake for me unfortunately. They also threw some island girl nudity to spice this up a notch.
Overall this is a fun movie that is far from one of the better prison dramas from this era (see The Big Bird Cage) but is still worth a viewing. I would score this a 5.5/10 and recommend seeing this once.
