“Terror is a Man” * (1959, Severin Films) A shipwreck brings Richard Derr to remote Isla de Sangre — Blood Island — where scientist Francis Lederer claims to be conducting experiments on a panther, but the bandage-swathed creature slaughtering the locals appears more human than feline. Low-budget Filipino creature feature plays in part to the grindhouse crowd with its marauding monster and amusing/aggravating gimmick: A bell that rings to warn audiences of (very mild) gory scenes. But Emmanuel Rojas’s B&W photography is appreciably eerie and the film refuses to paint Lederer and his creation as solely mad scientist and monster; in doing so, “Terror” becomes one of the more solid adaptations of “The Island of Dr. Moreau,” even without acknowledging its source material. Co-directors Gerardo de Leon and Eddie Romero returned to Blood Island for three more films (“Brides of Blood,” “Mad Doctor of Blood Island,” and “Beast of Blood”), all far less subtle but enjoyably pulpy shockers, and all compiled in Severin’s “Fear in the Philippines: The Complete Blood Island” Blu-ray set. Its “Terror” presentation offers an uncut scan from newly discovered film elements, promotional material, and interviews with Romero, Mondo Macabro chief/author Pete Tombs, critic Mark Holcomb, and Stateside distributor/Independent-International boss Sam Sherman.
