Sony has released a trailer for its Blumhouse horror movie re-imagining of Fantasy Island. After years of making their name with original thrillers and horror franchises, Blumhouse tried their hand at a legacy sequel with last year's Halloween. The film was a success across the board for the studio, and currently has a pair of followups in the works for release in 2020 and 2021. It also helped pave the way for similar upcoming Blumhouse reboots like Black Christmas and The Invisible Man, in addition to their Fantasy Island feature adaptation.

A big screen take on the TV series that aired from 1977-84 (and was briefly revived in the '90s), Fantasy Island revolves around a mysterious tropical resort that promises to make its guests' wildest dreams come true, but is secretly a living nightmare. The film was written and directed by Jeff Wadlow (Truth or Dare) and has been described as a cross between Westworld and Cabin in the Woods in early reports. Now, Sony has begun to pull the curtain back on the movie.
