½

Plot: Six survivors of a shipwreck are stranded on an island, including a mad scientist bent upon resurrecting the dead.

Review: Appallingly racist, rushed, and cliche with little horror, this film is a shallow slog despite its short runtime.

Year: 1942 Genre: Sci-Fi Horror Country: United States Language: English Runtime: 1 hour 1 minute

Director: Joseph H. Lewis Writer: Al Martin Cinematographer: Jerome Ash Editor: Ralph Dixon Cast: Una Merkel, Lionel Atwill, Nat Pendleton, Claire Dodd, Hardie Albright, Richard Davies, Anne Nagel, Al Kikume, John Eldredge

------

Story: 0.5/5 - Atrocious dialogue, characters, and racism destroy a pointless plot. The pacing is shocking, with scenes ending almost as quickly as they begin.

Performances: 2/5 - Atwill seems to be phoning in his cliched performance and Dodd is unbearable as the comedic relief.

Cinematography: 2/5 - Looks like a generic television show.

Editing: 1.5/5

Effects & Props: 2/5 - The boat fire is corny even for the era and many of the props look cheap.

Sets: 2/5 - Obvious, bland sets with fake stone decor.

Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 1/5 - The indigenous people's costumes are both offensive and silly, and the survivors look far too pristine for their circumstances.

Trigger Warnings:

Very mild violence

Extremely racist depictions of indigenous people

Brownface

Medical scenes
