One of Hammer's most controversial features, Val Guest's The Camp on Blood lsland was a huge box-office hit, despite drawing the wrath of critics who accused the film of sensationalising and expIoiting the sufferings of soldiers and civilians imprisoned and abused by the Japanese during the Second WorId War. CertainIy, the film's brutaI representation of Iife for AlIied captives in a Malayan prisoner-of-war camp is unusuaIIy grim and graphic for the time, but is buoyed by Guest's sharp and naturalistic direction, and a terrific cast is headed by André MorelI (Cash on Demand, Ben-Hur), CarI Möhner (Rififi) and the late, great Hammer icon Barbara ShelIey (The Gorgon, The Shadow of the Cat).
