A marvellous cheapie that makes great use of the "old dark house" cliches. George Zucco plays a financier wronged by almost all the cast with his business bought down and his wife murdered. He did the time in jail and now he is out on Fog Island. He invites his "investors" to the isolated island where he proceeds to take his retribution against each of them. They certainly deserve all they get, quite literally the most backstabbing, dastardly, murderous lot you have ever watched, making their inevitable demise all the more welcome. Lionel Atwill is at his coniving best as the most loathsome of the bunch. With trap doors, hidden skeletons, water filled rooms and staircases opened by a button on the organ, this could have been made in the early thirties. The fog and combined spark of Zucco and Atwill makes this great fun. 8/10.
