Wikipedia

Fantasy Island, also known as Blumhouse's Fantasy Island, is a 2020 American supernatural horror film directed and co-written by Jeff Wadlow. Serving both as a horror reimagining and a prequel to ABC's 1977 television series of the same name, it stars Michael Peña, Maggie Q, Lucy Hale, Austin Stowell, Jimmy O. Yang, Ryan Hansen, Portia Doubleday, and Michael Rooker and follows a group of people who, while visiting the eponymous island, discover that their dream-like fantasies brought to life begin to turn into horrific living nightmares and they must try to survive.

Fantasy Island was released theatrically in the United States on February 14, 2020, by Sony Pictures Releasing, and was largely panned by critics, but was a financial success, grossing $49 million worldwide against its $7 million production budget.

Five people—businesswoman Gwen Olsen, former police officer Patrick Sullivan, step-brothers J. D. and Brax Weaver, and teenager Melanie Cole arrive at Fantasy Island, a tropical resort where fantasies apparently come true. Upon arrival, island proprietor Mr. Roarke guides them to their fantasies: Patrick is enlisted in a war in honor of his late father; Melanie takes revenge on her childhood bully Sloane Maddison; the Weavers become honored guests at a mansion rave; and Gwen accepts her ex-boyfriend Allen Chambers' marriage proposal, which she rejected many years ago.
