Review – Voodoo Island

This low-budget Boris Karloff picture starts out with some promise, which should come as a total shock to anyone who’s watched a lot of low-budget Boris Karloff pictures. But fear not, crap fans. You won’t have to wait too long for the bad dialogue and rubber plant monsters to climb into the driver’s seat and steer the production along more familiar roads. As an added bonus we get some weird sexual overtones, particularly between the typical love interest and another member of the exploration party, a lesbian as blatant as production standards of the time would allow. Overall this comes so close to not sucking that it’s actually somewhat disappointing when it turns out as it does. Mildly amusing
