Blumhouse and Sony Pictures’ Fantasy Island is set to open in theaters February 28, 2020, reports Deadline who also reveals that the forthcoming adaptation of the ABC long-running series from the ’80s is “horror-tinged”. Our sources tell us that the adaptation is similar to the show except that someone is killing guests of the island.

Truth or Dare’s Jeff Wadlow is directing from a script written by him and Truth or Dare co-scribes Chris Roach and Jillian Jacobs.

Lucy Hale (pictured in Truth or Dare) stars with Michael Pena (below in End of Watch), who’ll play Mr. Roarke, the host of the enigmatic isle and Crazy Rich Asians’ Jimmy O. Yang. Hale plays one of the guests who is anxious to see her fantasy realized. Roarke warns guests that their fantasies may not play out as expected.

“Old-school American horror is back as Adam Green’s iconic Hatchet series returns in a blood-soaked, fully Unrated collection, uniting all four films for the first time.

“Unleashed at a time when the fun of 80s slashers had all but disappeared from the cinematic landscape, Hatchet ushered in a new era of terror with its unapologetic brutality and introduction of Victor Crowley, the modern bogeyman, who ruthlessly hunts those who dare tread into his swamp. With each installment, the stakes escalate, delivering bigger, bloodier scares and a relentless barrage of inventive kills. So gather all your pieces, because it’s time to return to his swamp and learn once and for all that some legends truly never die.”

Other films coming soon from Dark Sky Selects include The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers, and Faces of Death. Stay tuned for updates.
