Island of the Fishmen or Island of Mutations (Italian: L'isola degli uomini pesce) is a 1979 action-horror film directed by Sergio Martino, starring Barbara Bach, Joseph Cotten and Richard Johnson.

In 1980, about 30 minutes of footage was removed from the original film and replaced with new material for international release. This version was first given the title Something Waits in the Dark; it was re-edited and re-released in 1981 as Screamers.
