“Island Escape” (** out of four) was a jaded horror potboiler set on the island of Gran Manan in which a group of mercenaries (Chris Cimperman, Grant Schumacher, Michael L. Parker, and others) are hired by a ruthless millionaire (William Champion) to rescue his daughter (Ariella Mastroiani) but soon realized that the island is on a time loop which resets every 3 days and they are also besieged by evil and otherworldly forces. Fast-moving enough to be watchable but film is only made for those who never saw “Night Of The Living Dead” (or its remakes) or “World War Z.” By this point, the post-apocalyptic/zombie genre needs its own infusion of fresh blood and ideas.
