The Camp on Blood Island
The novelization of the screenplay was a spectacular success, selling up to two million copies.,Col. Lambert: I've no use for shirkers and there's no room for self-pity here.,"This is not just a story - it is based on a brutal truth.",Featured in The World of Hammer: Hammer (1994),Watching this now it is difficult to believe that it was given an X certificate.The violence is mainly kept on screen.The main plot point being whether Andre Morell as chief camp officer should tell the sadistic Japanese camp commandant that the war had ended,since the commandant had said that in such eventuality he would kill all the prisoners.Everyone is sweating buckets despite the fact that it was probably filmed in the local woods.Obviously Japanese actors were a bit thin on the ground so they roped in Michael Ripper,obviously not being chased by a Hammer monster on the day. Nevert he less not a bad effort even if it is no classic.,
