Suddenly, the girls regretted their fantasy of being in a hardcore wrestling tag-team.

Mention Fantasy Island to anyone under 40 and you would probably be greeted with stony silence, or a series of blank-eyed blinks accompanied by appropriate Cartoon Network-style sound effects.

The hugely popular series, which ran from 1978 to 1984 after a pair of TV movies, has pretty much fallen out of the pop culture conversation – so when horror specialist Blumhouse acquired the rights, it must have figured there was no harm in turning the property into a horror movie.
