By   |  Jul 26, 2025

Eureka Entertainment are bringing the 1985 Hong Kong horror movie ‘The Island’ (生死線) to US and UK Blu-ray on October 13, 2025.

Directed by Leung Po-Chi, the film centres around a teacher who leads six young students on an adventure to a remote, uninhabited island, only to uncover that they are not alone. The cast includes John Shum, Ronald Wong, Timothy Zao, Che Ching-Yuen, Amy Kwok, Peter Chan Lung, and Chan Ging.

Synopsis: At the height of summer, teacher Mr Cheung (John Shum) takes a small group of his students on an excursion to explore a rural island that he assumes is uninhabited. But upon arrival, Cheung and his class discover that they are not alone – the island is, in fact, home to three deranged brothers and their equally deranged mother. And when one of Cheung’s students refuses a marriage proposal from the youngest – and perhaps most disturbed – member of this deeply strange family, both the teacher and the young people in his care soon come to wish that they had stayed at home.
