Last night I saw "Horrors of Spider Island", a cheesy movie about youths on an island getting killed by monsters. "Demon Island" is much the same concept but done some 40 years later so it might be interesting to compare the two in an attempt to review to latter.
Both have a cast consisting of young people, several of which are good looking women. The gang ends up on an island and are unable to leave, in "Horrors of Spider Island" they crash there, in "Demon Island" they go there willingly to party but the monster breaks their boats (how the monster knew it had to do that is a mystery).
Most of the characters are pretty much just cardboard cutouts meant to be monster food, even though most of the "Horror s of Spider Island" characters actually survive while "Demon Island" kills them off.
The monster is utterly ridiculous in both movies, half man half spider thing in one and demon piñata in the other. Although it must be said that the special effects in "Demon Island" are worse not to mention annoying as the monsters vision is an absolute joke, and everything the monster does is really loud.
In both movies the monster dies in the end and what's left of the cast go home. The main difference is that "Horrors of Spider Island" is slow paced and mind numbingly boring, at least "Demon Island" has more action in it and i therefor the better movie. However, "Demon Island" takes itself a bit too seriously when it could just have been some campy fun.
