If you loved Island of Terror, try The Man Who Could Cheat Death
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Terence Fisher, and they both carry the body horror, dread mood tags, and they sit in Horror / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Island of Terror, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Man Who Could Cheat Death is
Paris, autumn, a single candle guttering low. A face frozen at forty though the ledgers note one hundred and four years. Glandular thefts leave fresh graves in the Bois de Boulogne while Europe’s scientific circles whisper. Fisher’s 1959 chiller lets old leeches drip wax onto a new century.
