Out of Control (1984)

Out of Control: Directed by Allan Holzman. With Martin Hewitt, Betsy Russell, Claudia Udy, Andrew J. Lederer. Upon graduation from high school eight teens take a seaplane trip, intending to celebrate on Keith’s parents’ private island. Stormy weather causes the plane to crash and they end up on a deserted isle. They find evidence of other visitors, and soon must fend for their lives against drug smugglers.

“Thereu0026#39;s a germ of a good exploitive drive-in movie here – teenagers stranded on an island getting into sex games, then fighting drug smugglers who arrive and threaten to kill them. It might have worked had it not all been presented in such a dull and unimaginative way – as well as if the teenagers were a likeable bunch that we cared about. It doesnu0026#39;t help that the movie was severely cut up before its release (look at the running time), with a narrative device added to explain things that not only doesnu0026#39;t explain much, but is pretty annoying.”
