Moody thriller about a yachting party that,after encountering weird weather, and a mysterious derelict ship, finds themselves shipwrecked on an island run by a former Nazi commander(Peter Cushing, fine as always) who realizes that the secret program run during the last days of World War II, that produced super soldiers who ran amok, have now resurfaced, and intend to murder everyone...
Despite a low budget, this is a genuinely eerie and atmospheric film, helped immensely by an effective nautical score that creates a memorable aura for this whole dream-like film. Brooke Adams, Luke Halpin, John Carradine, among others round out the cast of unfortunate castaways.
Other plus is that the soldiers(basically zombies) are presented in the old-school manner(think Val Lewton).
Well worth seeking out, and is on DVD.
