Monster Island – Watch the trailer for the new Singaporean creature feature

May, 1942. WWII rages across a world divided. Sailing across the sea, a Japanese Hell Ship transports POWs to occupied territories for slave labour. Onboard the ship is Saito, a traitor to the Japanese who is being sent back to the motherland. Saito is shackled to another POV, a British soldier named Bronson who holds nothing but hatred for Saito because of his Japanese nationality. When the Hell Ship is torpedoed by Allied submarines, Saito and Bronson are thrown overboard and wash ashore a deserted island. But they are not alone. Bronson and Saito are hunted by a monstrous creature – the Orang Ikan – who will stop at nothing until both men are dead. Bronson and Saito must put aside their hatred for one another to survive the island and kill the creature before it kills them first.

Monster Island, aka Orang Ikan, is written and directed by Mike Wiluan, and stars Dean Fujioka, Callum Woodhouse & Alexandra Gottardo.
