Although the science is somewhat suspect Island Of Terror still is one of the better products from Hammer Studios in Great Britain. The creatures on the island are soulless and scary. They would be as they are just large one cell creatures who subdivide like an amoeba.
Working on one of the Channel Islands on a cure for cancer Dr. Peter Forbes-Robertson has created these silicon based big size amoeba who eat animal bone and leave the carcasses like the deflated balloons after the Thanksgiving Day Parade. They are out of the laboratory now and wreaking havoc on the island.
Fortunately other scientists like Peter Cushing and Edward Judd are frantically working on a way to kill these creatures who are not just soulless but also impervious to just about everything they try. And it isn't like there's a stockpile of weapons on this peaceful Channel island.
Carole Gray is also around to bolster morale for the scientists, especially Judd and to scream when these creatures approach. She does well on both counts.
I'm flippant, but Island Of Terror is not a bad horror film and the coda to the ending gives us all reason for concern.
