4 out of 5 stars ALPHA DVD VERSION.......2006-10-26

PRETTY GOOD POVERTY ROW CHILLER...MURDER, DECEIT, STRANGE GOING'S-ON, THE USUAL SUSPECTS, & OF COURSE, FOG ISLAND. A GROUP OF HIGHLY UNLIKEABLE GUESTS HEADED BY LIONEL ATWILL ARE INVITED TO SPEND THE WEEKEND AT GEORGE ZUCCO'S FOG ISLAND. YOU SEE, ONE ( OR MAYBE ALL ) OF THE GUESTS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF ZUCCO'S WIFE YEARS AGO. AND WHY DO THEY ALL SHOW UP? THERE'S A HIDDEN TREASURE TOO!...GREAT FUN!!!& LOTS OF FOG...
THE ALPHA DVD VERSION HAS THE USUAL SPLICES & FRAME JUMPS BUT THE OVERALL PICTURE IS QUITE DECENT, CLEAR FOR A PRINT OF THIS AGE & CERTAINLY VERY WATCHABLE. ENJOY.

Empire builder Leo Grainger (George Zucco) and his accountant Dr. Lake (Ian Keith) were divested, framed, and sent up the river for five years. While out of the way someone dispatched Mrs. Granger leaving her daughter Gail (Sharon Douglas) to fend for her self.

Well Leo is back and ready for a little revenge and with luck the discovery of his late wife's dispatcher. He invites all the usual suspects to a treasure hunt, making no pretenses as to his real feelings. Little do they know the house is full of secret passages and deadly traps. We see each person as the make their decision to join the hunt. All but one who is already dead; so his son Jeff Kingsley (John Whitney) attends to find he knows the stepdaughter of Leo. The question is is he on her side or just another money grubber?

Now where have we heard a story of an unexcitable island with a houseful of suspicious guests, a charming girl and one guest substitute that she is attracted to? Oh and of course justice is done. This is acutely based on the play "Angle Island" by Bernadine Angus.

Leering butlers. Eyes in the window. Secret passageways. And yes...fog all around...A group of people are invited to a remote Florida island by the owner, Leo Grainger. He wants to punish the person responsible for murdering his wife. At the spooky mansion, with it's booby traps and hidden skeletons, the visitors are killed off one-by-one....A direct remake of 1941's "Horror Island", "Fog Island" is PRCs low-budget version of "10 Little Indians". Fans of horror-film stars George Zucco and Lionel Atwill will relish the over-the-top performances. Zucco and Atwill appeared together in only three films. Lionel Atwill was a Broadway star in the 1920's. Entering movies, he co-starred in Warners' 1935 "Captain Blood". But a messy personal scandal in 1942 left him employable by only Universal Pictures and lowly PRC. Lionel Atwill's climactic scenes in "Fog Island"'s watery finale are almost grisly. Just one year later, Atwill died of cancer and pneumonia while shooting the serial "Lost City of the Jungle". 1945's "Fog Island" also features Hollywood veteran Jerome Cowan. IMDB lists "Fog Island" at 1.37:1 aspect ratio 35mm. But this brand new DVD is closer to a 1.33:1 16mm source. Digital filtering has produced a generally crisp, clean transfer. But the source print contains blotches, clips, and a sub-par soundtrack. ("What did he say?") The DVD has 6 skimpy chapters and a catalog. Movie fans of Zucco and Atwill will take the boat-ride to murky "Fog Island". But for the rest, an enticing title brings very few shocks and frankly, litte interest.

4 out of 5 stars Atmpspheric standout.......2003-02-17

Ultra-low budget production company PRC managed to create real atmosphere thanks to decent sets and a uniformly excellent cast, toplined by Zucco and Atwill. Even the romantic leads are not wooden, as is so often the case. The storyline, although a bit over the top, none the less zips right along, holding one's interest until the darkly happy ending.

5 out of 5 stars Creepy!!.......2003-01-30

In this 1945 film starring George Zucco and Lionel Atwill is about an island mansion that terrorizes it's visitors.This is one creepy must see Movie!!

Leo was framed by a group of former business associates, and he also suspects that one of them killed his wife. He has invited the group to his island, tempting them by hinting about a hidden fortune, and he has installed a number of traps and secret passages in his home. He is aided in his efforts by a former cell-mate who holds a grudge against the same persons. When everyone arrives, the atmosphere of mutual suspicion and the thick fog that covers the island promise a tense and hazardous weekend for everyone.

            4 out of 5 stars Dark & stormy nights..........2007-02-12

            I enjoy films about people secluded in gloomy castles during storms. These films are quite enjoyable, despite a few slow moments in "Fog Island". This Volume 2 of "Crime Stoppers" isn't as exciting as the first, but still includes some fine old gems of the B-genre of the 40's. Vol.2 is good, but Volume 1 is excellent, with Karloff, Dick Tracy, etc. I'm hoping for a Volume 3...
