Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe producers used a very William Castle-like exploitation gimmick; plastic packets of "instant blood" were given out to each patron as they entered the theater in case they were attacked by flesh eaters.
- GoofsWhen the film opens, the camera follows a taxi driving on a wide highway in New York City, The car is a 1959 Ford. However, in the next scene when the taxi stops in front of a building and the driver gets out, the car is now a 1960 Dodge.
- Alternate versionsA shorter version exists on video: the original 35mm print, which is identical to the video release issued from Sinister Cinema, was trimmed for television and 16mm rental. The Monterey Video release of the film is this truncated television print.

Featured review
Surprisingly effective low-budget horror film about a creep (Martin Kosleck) on an isolated island trying to replicate Nazi experiments with flesh-eating organisms. A pilot transporting an alcoholic actress and her assistant is forced to make an emergency landing on the island and business picks up from there. A good B horror flick with some nice cinematography and special effects that were gory for the time. Despite its budgetary limitations it's pretty neat. Most of the movie takes place in one location, on a beach. Several moments of unintended hilarity, such as Byron Sanders' character talking about his ex ("I actually loved that little tramp.") or every scene involving Ray Tudor's beatnik (I'm comin', my people, I'm comin'!"). Sexy Barbara Wilkin has a nice scene taking off her shirt to help bandage Sander's wound. Tame by today's standards of course. Martin Kosleck is good fun as the mad scientist and the rest of the cast is enjoyable enough. Worth a look even if it isn't going to change your life.
