Starring horror legend Peter Cushing Island of Terror tells the story of the discovery of a messy boneless corpse on a secluded British island.
When an investigation is done they discover that the island is becoming infested with horrible creatures that put the towns population at threat!
Created by many of the same people who brought us the original Hammer Horror classics this looks great for its age and even the rubber monsters are better than you'd imagine.
Sure it's goofy, cheesy and even Cushing isn't exactly on form here but it's entertaining enough stuff for fans of the genre.
If you can get past the silliness of it all and stomach the sight of Peter Cushing trying to get into a threesome then there is entertainment value to be had.
The Good:
Interesting beasties
Ahead of its time
The Bad:
Leading lady poorly used
Seven different types of cheese
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Solitaire was Peter Cushings second choice
Working lighters weren't in the budget
