Terror Is a Man (also known as Blood Creature, Creature from Blood Island, The Gory Creatures, Island of Terror and Gore Creature) is a 1959[1] black-and-white Filipino/American horror film directed by Gerardo de Leon.[2]
It was the first in a series produced by Eddie Romero and Kane W. Lynn known as the Blood Island series, which also included The Brides of Blood Island (1966), The Mad Doctor of Blood Island (1969) and Beast of Blood (1970). All four films took place on an island called Blood Island, named for its vivid red-hued sunsets.[3]
The film focuses on a shipwreck survivor washed ashore on a small island where a scientist is experimenting on a panther in an effort to make it human.
