The Marsh Phantom
15 December 2019
In 1776, a mulatto sailor (Milton Reid) attacks the wife of the pirate Captain Clegg and has his ears and tongue cut out and is left alone in an island to die.

In 1792, in the village of Dymchurch, there is a legend of Marsh Phantoms that ride along the night around the village. The Royal Navy Captain Collier (Patrick Allen) and his sailors arrive in the village to investigate smuggling and bootlegging in the area and are received by the leader Rev. Dr. Blyss (Peter Cushing), who is also the leader of the smugglers. They bring the mulatto that attacks Dr. Blyss apparently with no reason. Captain Collier also decides to investigate the Marsh Phantoms.

"Night Creatures', a.k.a. "Captain Clegg", is an entertaining melodramatic adventure by Hammer directed by Peter Graham Scott. The plot is funny, with the smugglers playing prank in the Royal Navy crew, and Peter Cushing has an interesting role. The romantic side with Oliver Reed and Yvonne Romain also works very well. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Patrulha Fantasma" ("Phantom Patrol")
