I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
View MorePlot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Overrated and overhyped
An action-packed slog
A creepy old house on an island shrouded in fog, a handful of suspects (victims?) and George Zucco and Lionel Atwill together on the same screen - what else could we B fans ask for? Well, for starters, we could ask for a better script, a few less holes in the plot and a better love interest twosome than Sharon Douglas and John Whitney, who nearly sinks the picture all by himself with a very poor acting job.I have to think this story worked better on the stage as the director here couldn't bring it off on screen. But if you go with it and make generous allowances for the proceedings it will work for you.Plus - did you ever think you could ever see Zucco and Atwill in the same picture? They are here - for the first and maybe only time! Now that's worth the price of admission! All you have to do is overlook the small details.
View MoreA modestly crisp, but unspectacular black/white low-budget murder-mystery / revenge yarn (adapted of the stage play "Angel Island") with certain horror elements.After being framed and serving time in prison. Leo invites a group of people (old work buddies) to his secluded mansion on an island to seek revenge and single out the one who killed his wife. The temptation is there for the group, as hints are given to a possible hidden fortune to be found if they stay over the weekend.The old dark, creaky house set-up is made to good use as it's implanted on an remote foggy island (which the mist could play out like a metaphor for the growing unease and not knowing what lays ahead for these guests) and the involving material stays calculative. Moments tend to get blurry, but it's an interesting setting has above-average looking production. Sometimes the pace can flounder and the script gets dubious, but a strong cast (led admirably by a neurotic George Zucco, headstrong Lionel Atwill and classy Veda Ann Borg) seem to rise for the occasion. Director Terry O. Morse ('Unknown World (1951) 'and the American version 'Godzilla, King of the Monsters (1954) ') demonstrates a serviceable slow-burn style and lets the odd assortment of possibilities play out with well-placed suspense. Karl Hajos' moodily potent score seems to suit the growing actions and atmosphere rather well.Simple, but amusingly staged b-fodder.
View MoreThe movie is OK. It's fun to see those murky horror film stars George Zucco and Lionel Atwill, lurking around a mansion built by pirates. Zucco has been in prison for five years and invites the people who caused his incarceration to join him for a party. You might think they would be hesitant to do so, but they all show up. They believe that there is some filthy lucre to get their hands on and, being bad to the bone, they feel they can find it. Zucco, however, has some surprises for them. It's a variation on The Haunting of Hell House. There is a romantic subplot that goes on and a little surprise at the end. Much of the acting is pretty bad, but I am a sucker for these old dark house things. There's fun to be had with a little suspension of disbelief and plain old people watching.
View MoreFog Island is a rather creepy little chiller from B-movie specialists PRC.A man who lives in a creepy mansion with his step-daughter on a small island shrouded in fog invites some of his friends to stay. This mansion has hidden extras including secret passages and hidden doorways. The man also gives each of his "friends" strange little gifts including a skull, a key and a times table book. This man has a reason for all this though and strange things start happening...This movie is quite creepy and atmospheric even though a little slow moving at times.The cast includes horror B-movie regulars George Zucco (The Flying Serpent, Scared To Death) and Lionel Atwill (The Vampire Bat, House of Dracula).Fog Island is worth a look at. Not too bad.Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
