Isle of the Dead Unearthed “Kung Fu Bob” O’BrienDuring the Balkan Wars, Greek general Nikolas Pherides (Boris Karloff) made a pilgrimage to the tiny island where his wife was interred, and watched as the atoll's few inhabitants began to sicken and die. Is the cause an outbreak of plague or was there something to the superstitious locals' belief in a malevolent supernatural force? Atmospheric Val Lewton chiller co stars Ellen Drew, Marc Cramer, Alan Napier, Jason Robards, Sr.; Mark Robson directs.
