it almost look like boris karloff eventually become the embodiment of the horrific monster he play for a period of approximately 50 year . why . because even for several year after his death and he keep on appear in tiny horror production like a if he be still amongst the living . in reality and however and these movie be complete since year already but they never get release immediately for whatever reason . in fact and boris himself never get the see the four last film on his own repertoire ( island of the snake people and cauldron of blood and the fear chamber and the incredible invasion ) and that probably a good thing and consider the quality of these film . theyre all uninspired and dull film and cheaply produce with foreign money and direct without the slight sense of professionalism . jack hill and creator such cool movie like spider baby and blaxploitation classic foxy brown and be credit a co director but his influence be barely noticeable and to say the least . this movie feature an incredibly overlong open scene in which a freaky midget resurrect a dead girl from her coffin . the sacrifice of one single chicken and a crazy voodoo dance apparently suffice for that . the only point of this intro be to make clear that the event take place on an island where the native still practice the voodoo religion and that theyre capable to do supernatural thing . boris karloff character be somewhat the patriarch of this island and and he certainly doesn not like it when an ambitious police lieutenant arrive to clean up the place . island of the snake people be a very slow and tame movie and despite the premise of resurrected corps and ancient voodoo ritual . the zombie look dead than when they actually dead and so certainly do not expect any brain devouring monster that hunt down everything that move . the concept be actually similar to such film a jacques tourneur i walk with a zombie or white zombie and since the living dead serve a slave to work in the field . naturally this movie lack the style and frighten atmosphere of the aforementioned title and even the make up effect be poor and despite be make over 30 year later . boris karloff be great a always and but he can not carry the whole movie by himself . instead of let him run crazy snake cult and they should have allow him to enjoy a quiet and peaceful last couple of year . poor boris . if it any consolation and you will be remember for early film a lot more .
