Isle of the Dead

A film by Mark Robson

Set during the 1912 war on a Greek Island, the film focuses on six people staying on a remote island in order to escape the plague. Boris Karloff gives a typically strong performance as General Pherides, while Ellen Drew plays a Greek girl suspected of being a vampire. Constant winds and creepy sets illustrate each character’s anxiety as disease and suspicions build to a chilling climax.
