the camp on blood island (1958)


"You are useful people, when you behave..."
A remote and brutal Japanese prisoner of war camp during World War II, where the allied inmates battle to survive, whilst also trying to prevent the sadistic commandant finding out the Japanese have lost the war, fearing that once he knows they will be slaughtered.
With a certain realism, this was one of the first films to approach the touchy subject of Japanese brutality in their POW camps, without the sensationalist slant the title would have you believe.
