captain clegg (1962)


aka Night Creatures.
"I should say he died of fright."
A customs official arrives in a small coastal village to investigate smuggling activities in the area, but Captian Collier (Patrick Allen) is soon sidetracked by reports of "Marsh Phantoms" terrorising the area, and a comely serving wench (Yvonne Romain). Then his focus turns to the activities of the local vicar (Peter Cushing), is he hiding something?
An interesting mix of costumed melodrama, adventure, and horror, with more than a touch of saturday morning matinee about it, and features the then current hammer stable of actors including Oliver Reed.
