Island of Terror

1966 · 89 min

A quaint, foggy island mystery that slowly gives way to gooey, bone-sucking monster mayhem, more eerie than scary.

Tagline
How could they stop the devouring death...that lived by sucking on living human bones!
Overview
When a small island community becomes overrun with creeping, blobbish, tentacled monsters that liquefy and digest the bones from living creatures, the community struggles to fight back.
