Director: Jack Curtis
Writer: Arnold Drake
Cast: Martin Kosleck, Byron Sanders, Barbara Wilkin, Rita Morley, Ray Tudor
Jack Curtis directs this forgotten B-movie from the 1960s, which holds the dubious distinction of being one of the only horror films of its ilk to be shot entirely on Long Island. Starring Martin Kosleck, who was known in Hollywood throughout the 1940s for his knack of portraying Nazis, the film has somehow been neglected by the veneration currently being visited upon its contemporaries, but nonetheless it exhibits many of the same characteristics. Kosleck plays a demented Nazi scientist who is experimenting with a strain of flesh-eating bacteria, which he sees as the key ingredient to a revivified Third Reich. The seclusion of his island lab is one day disturbed by a peevish movie star, her secretary, and their pilot. A beatnik shipwreck victim rounds out the protagonists. The action is low-budget but highly gory in this cult classic designed for drive-in thrills.
