The Antilles are divided into two major groups: the "Greater Antilles" to the north and west, including the larger islands of Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico; and the smaller "Lesser Antilles" on the southeast.

Guatamala

In 1987, an extraterrestrial predator came to Earth looking to hunt the ultimate prey. It's search brought him to Central America where it systematically stalked and killed members of an elite US Special Forces unit. One soldier however, Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer, managed to survive and defeat the Predator. Before dying however, it detonated an explosive charge that leveled half the jungle.

Matoul

Matoul is a fictional island located in the Antilles. It was the primary setting of the 1979 film Zombi 2 by Lucio Fulci.
