Voodoo Island

Mostly interesting for the presence of Boris Karloff and Elisha Cook,Jr. Boris is the hero in this movie, looking fairly robust; he plays a professional skeptic/debunker investigating a mysterious island set for development. Not too many movies where he was the good guy. Usually he was the villain or an anti-hero at best.

The villains in this movie are the carnivorous plants and a callous, encroaching civilization. Though the guys defending themselves may have been a little quick with the 'trigger' finger their motives are sincere and they are not unsympathetic.

This would have been a decent 2nd half of a double feature at the drive-in.
