Review of Island of Terror

Kind of cheesy, but still creepy. A small island is terrorized by a shell-like creature with tentacles that pulverize and suck the bones out of their victims. This is one of those sci-fi flicks that seems to end up funnier than it is frightening. Still worth a watch. Special visual and sound effects are obviously dated.

Veteran horror master Peter Cushing can't save this one. The better acting comes from Edward Judd, Carole Gray and Eddie Byrne.
