     Isle of the Dead
1945  NR  HORROR  1h 12min
CAST— Boris Karloff, Ellen Drew, Marc Cramer, Katherine Emery, Helene Thimig, Jason Robards, Sr.
MUSIC— Leigh Harline  DIRECTOR— Mark Robson  BASED ON— Isle of the Dead (painting), by Arnold Bocklin

     A sleeper film that may just put you to sleep, Isle of the Dead has little to offer. Boris Karloff plays a Greek general visiting his wife’s grave on a remote island. He’s drawn to a house where, unbeknownst to him, a deadly plague has taken hold. As the residents start to drop like flies, some start to suspect a more sinister cause of death, a form of Grecian vampire. With lots of set-up, the film never pays off, leaving the viewer feeling cheated, wishing the plague would have just done its job and wiped them all out.
OUR RATING— * ½
