Uriah43 When "Captain Labesch" (Rafael Bertrand) arrives on a remote island under French colonial rule he is determined to put an end to the barbaric practices involved in voodoo rituals. With him is a naive young woman named "Anabella Vandenberg" (Julissa) who wants to rid the world of alcohol. To aid her in this mission she has come to the island to enlist the help of her rich uncle "Carl van Molder" (Boris Karloff) who owns a large plantation further inland. But what neither Captain Labesch nor Anabella realize is just how powerful the people who practice voodoo really are and that they are quite willing to use whatever means are at their disposal to continue their blood-thirsty rites. Anyway, rather than detailing the entire story and possibly spoiling the movie for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this turned out to be a bit better than I expected. Admittedly, the action was a bit bland but the overall story was decent enough and the dancing of Yolanda Montes (as the voodoo priestess "Kalea") certainly didn't hurt the film in any way. Now, that is not to say that this movie is great by any means. But I didn't think it was that bad either. That said, I give it an average rating.

TheLittleSongbird It is very difficult to determine for many which is the best of the late-career-Karloff Mexican films, because they all share the same problems with one another and come this close to having no redeeming qualities. Fear Chamber was the worst, though The Incredible Invasion is one of the absolute worst final films of any actor. Personally, the best is this, Isle of the Snake People because it also has Yolanda Montes' entrancingly sexy dancing as well as Boris Karloff's dignified(though he is also criminally underused) performance, the rest only had Karloff going for them. Saying that is saying little because it is still terrible. The rest of the acting is atrocious, even the dwarf who is more camp than menacing, there is an uneasy mix of those who have no signs of acting talents and those who have no idea how to play their roles. Visually, Isle of the Snake People is the most colourful of the lot but still shows no signs of style, genuine love or finesse, it always looks like it was done on minimal budget and in tight time constraints. The music is overly-strident, the dialogue is horrendously stilted and you never care for the characters. The story is the worst thing about Isle of the Snake People, it is more uncomfortably weird than atmospheric, is very randomly structured and incorporates many things that add nothing and are left unexplained. The abrupt ending and flat direction put the final nail in the coffin. In conclusion, probably the best of the late-career Karloff Mexican films but only has Montes and Karloff who are anywhere close to good. 2/10 Bethany Cox

zee It is entirely worth watching for the performance of Santanón, a Mexican dwarf actor who is the voodoo priest. Capering about with a maniacal grin, in a top hat and bizarre costume, whipping the dancing girls, invoking Papa Labas (or one of those voodoo gods), his performance is riveting. I kept rewinding the film to watch him. I'm still not sure if it was a good performance, but it was a performance unlike any I've seen before and oddly convincing. The actor seemed to be having a great time with it, and were the whole movie his, it'd be one of my favorite cult films.Unfortunately, there's a bunch of other stuff wasting time in this film, a ridiculous police department plot, a temperance gal and her colonialist uncle (Karloff, forgettable), and too much that's non- voodoo ritual.

MartinHafer This film's only distinction is that it's one of several quickie appearances Boris Karloff made in some ultra-low budget Mexican films shortly before he died. The funny thing is that several of the films sat around and were released several years after his death--this one coming out three years later! Why Karloff did this, I have not idea--I assume he really needed the money as none of them were very good and several were downright embarrassing. It was sad epilogue to the fine actor's career.This film is about voodoo, magic, witchcraft, zombies and the like. It's set on a crappy little isolated tropical island where Karloff is the boss-man. A new police chief sent from the mainland has arrived and tries to both organize the lazy police force and stamp out the evil cult. I liked when you first see Karloff, as he's dressed in Colonel Sanders' outfit--and I half expected to see him carrying about a bucket of chicken! Instead, however, he has the obligatory mad scientist lab where he conducts experiments on psychic powers.It's actually pretty odd how long it takes for anything to actually happen on this godforsaken island. Heck, you don't even meet Karloff's character until about 20 minutes into the film. Much of the time, you see bits and pieces of various pagan ceremonies--many of which feature a very curvaceous woman gyrating and a groovy little midget with cool shades and a flower painted on his head (the guy has real style) running about doing...well...I dunno...nor, apparently, did the film makers. And, as you watch the film you notice this is true of just about everyone--there really isn't much of a plot and it's just a long series of freaky vignettes like you'd see in an old fashioned spook house--not really a comprehensible film. And, unless you are a die-hard Karloff fan, this is definitely one to skip--heck, it's not even of much value to a bad movie buff.
