The Camp on Blood Island

(1958)Directed by Val Guest81 minWar, Thriller, Drama
“This is not just a story - it is based on brutal truth”

A Japanese prisoner of war camp in the later years of the Second World War holds Allied men who have been told to expect nothing but punishment. Col. Lambert (André Morell) and Piet Van Elst (Carl Möhner) are among them, and Val Guest builds the story around two opposing cultures that cannot agree on what counts as lawful or moral. The prisoners stand in the compound, thin and silent, while the guards walk the line.
