A ship was wrecked on
the rocks to obtain the insurance money and a lighthouse keeper was
murdered. The circumstances in
both cases were mysterious. A
Phantom Light appeared on a hill and the lighthouse light was extinguished.
This film was known
as a “low-budget quota quickie” film. Everything that happens in this film seems to happen
quickly? It was a little difficult
for me to keep track of what was going on all the time. I also couldn’t keep track of the background
information for some of the characters?
There are a lot of scenes of the water pounding the rocks. 3* (This movie is OK)
