Isle of the Living Dead

Synopsis

In the heart of the Caribbean, on a remote island shrouded in mystery and shadowed by colonial history, a young nurse named Betsy arrives to care for a planter's ailing wife. But the island's beauty hides a dark secret: a pervasive, unnatural lethargy that has gripped the plantation's workers, leaving them listless and vacant-eyed. Whispers of voodoo and ancient curses fill the humid air, hinting at a power that controls the very minds of the island's inhabitants. As Betsy delves deeper into the island's strange customs and the secrets of the imposing sugar plantation, she finds herself drawn to the enigmatic master of the estate and his unnervingly passive wife. She soon discovers that the island's affliction is far more sinister than mere illness, a terrifying resurrection of the past that threatens to consume her as well. This chilling reimagining of a classic tale explores themes of control, exploitation, and the enduring power of the supernatural, offering a captivating journey into a world where the living are not truly alive.
