When a small band of people is shipwrecked on an uncharted island, they soon find themselves facing a greater menace than isolation and survival against the elements: the island is ruled over by a Nazi scientist who escaped after the war and continues his experiments on some captive women in an effort to find a cure for his disfigured wife, an effort that so far has proved unsuccessful. Leads Irish McCalla and Tod Griffin are rather dull, and while Rudolph Anders is saddled with an unsympathetic role as the scientist, he proves suitably menacing, together with his henchmen, led by stolid Gene Roth. But the best performance is probably that of Victor Sen Yung as the first mate of the shipwrecked vessel, who brings a much-needed dollop of levity without playing a buffoon. Still, there isn’t much point to seeking this one out.

  Not recommended. Otto thinks you should avoid this movie.
