When Greek general Alexis is granted a brief respite from the grueling Balkan War to visit his wife’s grave on a remote Aegean island, he stumbles upon a nightmare that will test his sanity. As a mysterious plague sweeps through the close-knit community, panic and suspicion fester, and the island’s ancient superstitions come terrifyingly to life. Trapped with a circle of strangers—including a beautiful young woman who may be the walking dead—Alexis must uncover the dark truth behind the sickness before the island claims him too. Mark Robson’s atmospheric chiller weaves a taut web of psychological terror and gothic dread, where every shadow hides a secret and the line between life and death blurs.

User Reviews
RetroTerror – 7/10
“I was surprised by how eerie this old gem still feels. The foreboding island atmosphere and the slow-burning tension really got under my skin. The plague angle adds a layer of paranoia that feels disturbingly relevant.”
GrimReaperFan – 5/10
“I appreciated the gloomy visuals and the lead actor's intensity, but the pacing felt sluggish in the middle. The supernatural elements are subtle, maybe too subtle for my taste. Still, it's an interesting piece of horror history.”
CinephileGhoul – 6/10
“For me, the movie excels in creating an unsettling mood, especially with the plague-induced hysteria. The twist involving the 'vampire' was clever, though the film's age shows in some melodramatic moments. Worth a watch for fans of classic dread.”
HauntingMelodies – 8/10
“I was glued to the screen from start to finish—the way the island's panic builds is masterful. The performances feel authentic, and the ambiguous ending lingered with me. It's a shame more people don't know about this one.”
