Isle of the Dead (1945)

Val Lewton-produced 1945 horror starring Boris Karloff. During the 1912 Balkan War, General Pherides visits a Greek island to honor his late wife, only to find it under plague quarantine. As deaths mount, his rational mind gives way to superstition — he becomes convinced a woman among them is a vorvolaka, a vampire-like creature. Directed by Mark Robson. Warner Archive Blu-ray released March 30, 2021, from a new 4K restoration.
