Island of the Doomed Blu-ray

Mondo Macabro is preparing a Blu-ray release of Ernst Ritter von Theumer's Island of the Doomed a.k.a. Island of Death (1967), starring Cameron Mitchell, Elisa Montés, Jorge Martín, and Kai Fischer. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market later this year.

Description: A group of tourists arrives to see the botanical gardens on a small island off the coast of Spain. The only inhabitants of the island are the famous botanist Baron von Weser and his two faithful servants; all of the other residents fled after a series of mysterious deaths. When the car driven by the tourists' guide hits one of the baron's servants, von Weser explains that the death was due to a rare and incurable disease, not the accident. That night, the guide and Cora Robinson, one of the guests, are found murdered with all the blood drained from their bodies… Is there a serial killer at large, or is it something even more dangerous?
