Review of Isle of the Dead (1945) by Braden A — 16 Feb 2006
A very solid, surprisingly scary little horror film. Boris Karloff is wonderful as the cold-hearted but noble general who only wants to protect his soldiers and the people around him. The opening scene really defined his character, which was great.
One scene in a tomb towards the end of the movie was VERY scary, and gave me quite a jump.
A really great movie. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
I'm really, really loving this Val Lewton collection.
