VHS Movie Reviews of Island of Terror
Movie Review: In the same style as the Quatermass films
Summary: 4 Stars
Neat little monster flick even if it did miss the Fifties by a few years. Good locations and color photography (filmed in 1:85 ratio) adds to the effect and the monsters are adequate for a film of this type.
Beware that the UK DVD release has the 'hand amputation/blood squirting scene' completely edited out, but I do hear that the German DVD release has the scene still fully intact.
All in all, a fun fifties style 'monster on the loose/trapped on an island' story with a tinge of British flavor which always adds some intelligence to these type of sci-fi flicks.
Summary of Island of Terror
When, oh, when will scientists learn to stop playing with radiation? Island of Terror takes place on a remote island off the coast of Ireland. No phones, no regular transport to and from the mainland, but there is a well-equipped cancer research center where the well intentioned--but foolish!--scientists are irradiating lumps of tissue. The local constable finds a body with no bones in it ("No bones?" "No bones!") and soon a team from London, led by the ever-game Peter Cushing, arrives to investigate. Let's hope that darned generator doesn't give out... Island of Terror isn't going to keep you awake at night, but it is a lot of silly fun. Be warned, though--whatever the evil menace is, it can climb trees! Aaaaiiiieeeeeee! --Ali DavisHorror VHS Video
