Captain Collier (Patrick Allen) and his band of sailors show up to an English coastal town to investigate reports of Marsh Phantoms who ride by night spreading terror to the town. The Captain suspects that the local reverend (Peter Cushing) might be hiding something. Are the phantoms genuine or a cover for illegal smuggling activities? (Final Cut Entertainment)

It's no coincidence that Peter Cushing was one of the studio's favored actors and one of the best British actors of his time. He proves it here too. Likewise, Oliver Reed simply has the face for playing complex characters, which might not be entirely the case here, but still. The film is excellently cast, and this only contributes to the overall good impression you will have from it. It's not a big scary spectacle, but it's a well-crafted piece with interesting characters and a story that isn't entirely straightforward.
