Quick Hit

Island of Terror throws horror on screen with real nerve, but the finish is shaky. A decent premise gets left on the table.

Full Take

You can feel the movie reaching for a hit from frame one. When the image is sharp and the menace is clean, it lands. British genre discipline gives the film a cleaner shape than many of its pulp peers. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That keeps it stuck at BAD.
