BATTLE OF BLOOD ISLAND (1960) - ♦♦

Directed by - Joel Rapp

Written by - Joel Rapp, Philip Roth

Starring - Richard Devon, Ron Gans

 

"The only two survivors of an attack on a Japanese island during World War II, a Christian and a Jew, must collaborate in order to ensure their survival. 

 

Battle of Blood Island is a strange film. On the one hand, it seems legitimately interested in exploring themes of intolerance and some heavy psychological aspects of isolation and alienation as a result of war. On the other hand, it does so in a campy way, perhaps unable to fully opt for a more fulfilling and experimental approach and equally and simply developing into an average B-movie."
