Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Isle of the Dead is a 1945 horror film directed by Mark Robson, produced by the master of 1940s horror, Val Lewton.It is set in 1912 during the First Balkan War, one of the warm-up acts for World War I. General Pherides (Boris Karloff) is a Greek general who has just won a battle at great cost. With the battle won, he takes a break and goes to visit his wife's tomb on a cemetery island, taking along American war correspondent Oliver Davis. General Pherides is enraged to find that his wife's tomb has been vandalized.Looking for the culprits behind the vandalized tomb, he finds on the island an archaeologist, Dr. Albrecht, and Albrecht's housekeeper, Madame Kira. Also on the island are several guests of Albrecht: Mr. and Mrs. St. Aubyn, the husband being an English diplomat; Thea, a caretaker for the frail Mrs. St. Aubyn; Dr. Dossos, whose status as a medical doctor becomes important; and Andrew Robbins, an English tinsmith.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Robbins falls ill at dinner and by the morning is dead. Dr. Dossos comes up with a terrifying diagnosis: Robbins has caught The Plague, namely septicemic plague, the worst kind. The entire island is placed under quarantine. Madame Kira, a superstitious old peasant, blames everything on Thea, whom Kira claims is the host for a vorvolaka, a Greek evil spirit roughly analogous to a vampire. | |

Actually Not a Vampire: Nope, Thea's not a vorvolaka, it's just ignorance and fear from Kira and Pherides. | |

Art Imitates Art: Inspired by a painting called "Isle of the Dead". The painting can be seen in the opening credits, and the matte painting of the island as Pherides and Oliver approach. | |

As You Know: Oliver in the opening scene helpfully mentions to Pherides how he, Oliver, is an American war correspondent. | |
