Synopsis
Three men guarding an isolated lighthouse located at the tip of South America on Cape Horn are attacked by a ship full of bloodthirsty pirates. The pirates, led by Captain Kongre, proceed to build a false lighthouse in order to lure unsuspecting vessels ashore, into their bloodthirsty grip. Based on a novel by Jules Verne, director Kevin Billington has delivered a tight, engaging story anchored by strong performances from Kirk Douglas and Yul Brynner.

5.0 out of 5 stars a weird crew@VERNE'S world of adventure , 16 Jul 2008
By Dr. U. L. Khawaja "usman khawaja" (hornchurch ,london) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This period aventure based on a book by Jules Verne is an atmospheric ,dark,haunting thriller with excellent cinematography and a taut plot .

It is set on the ragged coast of Cape horn where a pirate ship takes over a crucial light -house to deceptively lure the ships passing by the rocky yet picturesque coastline .

Yul Brynner is magnificent as the captain of the weird but eccentrically violent pirates,he has a lieutenant played with a delicious evil streak by the french actor Drouot and kirk Douglas is the keeper of the light house who is being hunted by the pirate crew as he tries to survive .

Samantha Eggar arrives as a mysterious beauty surviving a shipwreck and it gets very surreal with an eerie light and some extremely powerful yet violent sequences .

The violence though serves the purpose of exploring the relationship between this naturally hostile environment and human will to survive and i love the period details and antique decor of the interiors as well as the lush exteriors with a great shipwreck staged in detail and an unmissable finale with some great action drama .

Intelligently violent and exquisitely entertaining ,if you like action adventures with a twist with great acting ,this is heaven indeed and the dvd is an excellent restoration of the origonal too.

A very pleasant surprise for fans of jules verne and brynner too who steals the show in a definitive role like in Westworld .
