The premise

During the American Civil War, five northern POWs make the decision to escape the war by hijacking a hot air balloon. Drifting through the night, they wake to find themselves marooned on a desert island, but they aren't alone.

Horror Vault's take

When a group of Union prisoners of war seizes a hot air balloon to flee the chaos of the Civil War, they bargain for more than they planned — landing on a remote island teeming with dangers far stranger than any battlefield. Stranded and cut off from civilization, the castaways must contend with deadly creatures and the island's deeply unsettling secrets. Drawing on Jules Verne's classic source material, this creature-feature adventure blends period setting with pulpy sci-fi horror. Fans of old-school monster mayhem will find plenty to sink their teeth into.
