Review of Island of Blood

Cheaply made slasher movie has a slow pace that works somewhat in setting up extra tension where a film crew and actors on a remote island are stalked by a maniacal killer intent on fulfilling the Agatha Christie murders of "And Then There Were None". These killings are pretty disgusting, but the photography, editing and sound recording is so bad that at times the film becomes very tedious to try to watch. But even worse is the amateurish style of acting that makes watching everything going OK super painful to watch. You never really get a good view of what anyone looks like because most of the scenes take place late at night with no electricity on. The use of music to determine how the killer is going to strike is a unique idea, but the film certainly fails to resonate. I could sew Val Lewton having producing this in the 40's based on the eerie whistling winds and the sounds of the sea, but as done didn't resonate witt me.
