(1966, Upgraded 12/30/20) Edward Judd, Peter Cushing, Carole Gray, Eddie Byrne, directed by Terrence Fisher. Things go terribly wrong in an isolated island research lab off the British coast. The scientists are looking for a way to create microscopic creatures that will attack cancer cells. However, what they end up creating is a new breed of bone-devouring monsters are created. The island is cut off from the mainland and it’s only a matter of time before the creatures suck the bones out of every single human! There are many memorable scenes in this film: one involving Byrne and another involving Cushing's arm. Brrr... A terrific climax has the island's populace crowded into a big meeting hall while the monsters break through windows and doors to devour them! Could have almost been made by Hammer. Cushing and Judd are great. A real wow! Beautiful color, widescreen. 35mm.
