Once upon a time, design support in the years B.C. (before cable), television stations mature to accelerate stale panic movies on Saturday nights under the name “Chiller Theater.” Yeah, they were “B” movies, but we as children found them scary and animated. Now these films obtain themselves an endangered species. Stations simply don’t accelerate them anymore, even in this age of cable where we supposedly earn to resolve from 100 plus channels. What we’re not told is that the broadcast stations dropped tedious night obsolete movies in favor of the infomercial, which means that the only refuge for extinct time psychotronic fans is the DVD.

MGM has done all us fans a favor by releasing “Voodoo Island” and The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake” as a double feature. These two celebrated films from the “Chiller” days have fallen into oblivion and it is nice to gawk them resurrected in DVD format. Granted, these are not lost classics in ant sense except the psychotronic, but they are worth the time of any dismay film buff.
The first film, “Voodoo Island,” has Boris Karloff in shapely build as a scientific investigator called in by wealthy industrialist Elisha Cook, Jr. to demand exclusive happenings on a Pacific Island. So far, so favorable, but Boris soon discovers a voodoo cult (in the Pacific, no less) with some man-eating plants thrown in for helpful measure. The residence breaks down shortly after this discovery as the explorers consume that dilapidated time-tested plot to collect them all killed – Let’s Split Up.

Produced by Howard W. Koch of “Airplane” fame, “Voodoo Island” looks like it’s off the soar of Modern Jersey rather than in the Pacific. Mild, Boris and Elisha absorb their dignity throughout, helped by a graceful performance from Beverly Tyler.
“The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake” concerns on Jonathan Drake (Eduard Franz), who while attending his brother’s funeral in South America, is horrified to secure his decreased brother is missing his head, which later turns up in the family vault as a skull. Turns out it’s fraction of a curse placed on the Drake family for their role in a massacre of Amazon natives. All the Drake men die of shock at age 60 and lose their heads.
Henry Daniell steals the describe as Dr. Zurich, who is the abominable guy slack the Drake wretchedness. Daniell has a sizable time chewing up whatever scenery comes his arrangement and is titanic fun to leer. Also leer for famous English character actor Paul Cavanagh (“Sherlock Holmes and the House of Awe,” “The Scarlet Claw”) in his last film as Jonathan’s brother, Kenneth.
Directed by Edward L. Cahn, whose credits include “Invisible Invaders,” “Invasion of the Saucer Men,” and the classic, “Creature With the Atom Brain.”)
Salubrious transfer, two immense psychotronic classics, and Boris Karloff and Henry Daniell: What more could a film fan want?
Who will speed from Voodoo Island? If the maneating plants don’t end them first, the boredom will. Yes, Voodoo Island is rather tiresome. I certainly don’t situation my standards too high when dealing with ragged B pictures, but a B film director has accomplished something rather rare when he makes a schlock describe that’s not even mildly humorous. The film has a gorgeous short running time, and our cast doesn’t even catch to the island till about 40-45 minutes through the film. Alot of dilly-dallying up to that point. Karloff gives a edifying performance as a skeptic who likes to debunk superstitious theories, but he really can’t even assign this film. The natives on this island are about as threatening as the three stooges, and you don’t leer hardly enough of the maneating plants which are the only keen thing in the film. It’s very anticlimatic as well. Don’t read any further if you honestly want to withhold the ending of Voodoo Island a surprise. The civilization on this island purposely turned it’s encourage on the rest of the world and wants to hold the island and it’s people a secret. Is there a grand showdown between Karloff and the chief? No. Karloff says, “Don’t difficulty, we won’t snort anyone” and the chief says, “Oh, alright, you can all go”. That’s the extinguish to the horror and menace of Voodoo Island.
The Four Skins Of Jonathan Drake is naturally the better film of the two. It concerns a curse killing off the men of the Drake family, and the last man, Jonathan’s attempts to halt it. The witchdoctor(a native Indian’s body with a white man’s head) and his assistant(a guy who looks like he tried to swallow a sneaker and has the laces hanging out of his mouth) try to come by their hands on the slippery Jonathan Drake. Lots of icy shrunken heads in this one. A decent film, that’s where the three stars go. I don’t know if it’s fair my dvd, but there were a few glitches on the Voodoo Island side of the disc. Lots of skipping, as though you hit the FF button on your remote at the lowest setting. Maybe I unbiased got ahold of a awful copy, but there are no scratches on the disc. Purchase with caution.
