Island of Terror

Poster of Island of Terror

They lived by eating human bones… and threatened to consume the world!

  • Island of Terror remains one of the more entertaining sci-fi/horror hybrids of the 1960s. … While some might consider it just another creature feature, the film’s literate script and intelligent acting make this Island a worthy destination for discerning fans of 1960s horror and sci-fi.

    Mark Clark and Bryan Senn, Sixties Shockers: A Critical Filmography of Horror Cinema, 1960-1969 (McFarland, 2011)
