not the best of the val lewton horror series and but it have it moment . when i think about it and the plot seem very good . a small group of people quarantine themselves on a small greek island when they discover that one of them have the plague . boris karloff star a a greek general who become cruel when try to keep order . after the army doctor dy and he become superstitious along the line of an old woman who be also on the island . somehow and the character and the situation never come off especially well . it never bad and but it never great and either . the finale be quite effective and however . positive .
