Captain Clegg is one of my favourite Hammer films. Stellar performances by Peter Cushing, Michael Ripper and Oliver Reed and a genuine setting make a very entertaining mixture.

The Blu-ray however is a mixed bag. Positive for sure are the interesting extras. Sadly there is no audio commentary. Also the sound is very good. The picture quality however is not convincing. This an old Universal transfer with visible traces of DNR and electronic tampering. Sharpness and detail are pretty low, colors are OK. There is some digital noise present, especially in the dark scenes. The original English title has been computer generated and embossed into the title card. Because of this the title card features some strange noise which even covers the black blanking areas of the windowboxed credit sequence. After the credit sequence the film's aspect ratio changes to something like 2.00:1 which indicates this transfer was originally made from the US version called Night Creatures.

Originally made to be shown as part of a double bill, Captain Clegg easily stands well on its own. Cushing is as magnificent as ever, as is hammer regular, Michael Ripper. The story is one of pirates and ghosts or rather pirates pretending to be ghosts, but like most hammer films the story is only part of its appeal. Full of hammer nostalgia which draws you into what is essentially a boys own adventure. There are better quality hammer blu rays available and this is perhaps not the film to watch if this is the first experience of hammer films. However, to those of us who will be forever woven into the fabric of hammer, this will make an excellent addition to our film collections.

Not the most famous Hammer Horror, and you could say not the best, but still as a Hammer fan I really enjoyed this film. It comes with great sets plus your typical hammer soundtrack and last but not least Peter Cushing, what more does a hammer fan want?. But my huge negative is the picture quality, its very poor, it is that bad I think my dvd version was better. But still I am happy to have this in my collection.

An enjoyable story and of course a good cast so strong enough to grab attention through to the end. Unfortunately the image quality is not good and it seems pointless to put it on blu-ray. The camera work is also poor, even for a film of this age: the "phantoms" (which actually do not come out very often) appear in front of a totally black background at one point, and in some places the film changes from day to night and back to daytime again within the same sequence. Despite that, it's still a another good old "mild horror" from Hammer.

A village vicar heads up a smuggling ring in his non-prayerful hours and succeeds in the operation by disguising the skullduggery in a guise of supernatural proportions. Peter Cushing and Oliver Reed are very convincing. An atmospheric tale of adventure and horror.
Final Cut releases a fine blu-ray with some nice extras. I have no complaints on the picture and sound quality and I am very happy that the company added English subtitles. Why doesn't Amazon list this?

I think this is one of a pair of early 60s versions of the adventure novel by lawyer/actor Russell Thorndyke "Dr Syn" (one of a long series) which first reached the screen in 1937 with Margaret Lockwood & the final appearance of George Arliss, as a nasty vicious old pirate masquerading as a harmless,kindly old vicar in the parish of Dymchurch & leader of a cut throat gang of smugglers who spend their nights riding the scary,desolate 18th century marshes spookily disguised to fool the natives & continually on the alert for the militia called in to hunt them down. There was great controversy at the time of the release of this Hammer version which clashed with the somewhat better Disney version that ran closer to the original story that competed for its Odeon release. With my first read of the book at 14 I was gripped by the story's atmosphere and the dark scenes of the then desolate,lonely Kentish marshes. The Disney 1962 colour production, Dr Syn Alias the Scarecrow starred Patrick McGoohan & George Cole which,true to Disney's style, had its scary moments..

Story of ghosts and pirates starring Peter Cushing as captain Clegg. A early Hammer production with support acting from the 'little know then', Oliver Reed. The photogenic qualities and natural acting abilities of Reed shine through in this little known Hammer film. I bought it to see Reed in early film productions and was not disappointed by this wee gem.

Very dissapointrd in this blu ray. Falsley advertised as progressive scan this interlaced video on my 70" Aquos is jittery and loaded with digital artifacts. It is mostly unwatchable. Bummer! It's a very cool hammer film but mishandled by those who produced the blu ray.. Shame on them.
