He discovers that it's overrun with mutants and monsters from a failed 1980s DARPA "super soldier" project. He soon comes up with the incredible idea of turning the island into a world-class getaway resort, utilizing the creatures as its staff, much to the dismay of the United States government.

 

The film, which world premiered at 2024's Sitges Film Festival, is executive produced by Mike De Trana and Brian Volk-Weiss, produced by Steven Shea and Anna Roberts, written by Steven Shea and James Schrader, with over 86 minutes of original music composed by Rob Reider, and illustrated by artists Logan Van Der Wolf, Zia Izzy, Elly Karipides, and Chickenz.

“Getting to be a part of the Nacelle family is a dream” says Shea. “With their awesome portfolio of animation and blend of comic-con and comedy, it's the perfect home for our mutant filled resort!”

“We’re excited to finally get this fantastic animated film out for the world to see!” said Nacelle Founder and CEO, Brian Volk-Weiss. “I predict you’re all gonna love it!”

ISLA MONSTRO will also be released on Blu-ray, DVD, and a Vinyl Soundtrack through MVD Entertainment Group. As well as a VHS and Cassette through Abyssmal Entertainment.
