i saw this on the box a couple of week back and one of bbc2 occasional late night horror showing . it appear less often than hammer output or other more famous british horror so it be a first time view for me and i enjoy it a good deal . the plot be pretty neat and the setting be ace and with treasure seek archaeologist head to an accurse island where murder have recently take place . predictably enough and they be not alone . the alternate version list for the film mention that the film be somewhat trimmed for it original release which be unsurprising and since the film have a nice amount of bloodshed for a british film of the period and as well a some nudity and even a spot of entertain thrust sex . fortunately it get show uncut on television and though it doesn not have any spectacular content and it still pretty toothsome stuff . sadly the writing and act aren not much good which make for a few moment of unintentional humour and with gary hamilton perhaps the bad acting wise and robin askwith and derek fowlds ( bernard from yes minister and yes prime minister ) the best . the opening 20 minute and before the expedition be underway and be the most striking and with colorful touch and a slightly wacky approach that the film later lose and though there be good smattering of creepy moment and everything mount to a pretty fun finale . so all in all it no classic and but with attractive woman and a good mood and an ample dose of neat and sometimes even shock moment and it a worthy piece of old fashion and shonky good time and worth check out for british horror enthusiast or 70 low budget lover i would say .
