ISLAND OF TERROR

ISLAND OF TERROR
(vt Night of the Silicates)
   Film (1966). Planet/Universal. Dir Terence Fisher, starring Peter Cushing, Edward Judd, Carole Gray, Eddie Byrne. Screenplay Alan Ramsen, Edward Andrew Mann. 89 mins. Colour.
   This is one of the 3 films with an sf theme made for Planet by Terence Fisher, best known for his HORROR movies, of which this, despite its sf trappings, is one. (The others are The EARTH DIES SCREAMING (1964) and NIGHT OF THE BIG HEAT (1967).) Giant mutated viruses, the product of cancer research gone wrong, get loose on a small island and kill their victims by sucking their bones out of their bodies. There are some well choreographed shocks. As the monsters, which look like animated piles of porridge, can move only slowly, it is unclear how they overtake their prey.
