Night Creatures. 1962.
Another forgotten classic by Hammer, a small village running a bootleg operation and the king' s men come calling to stop and arrest those responsible but they are always one step ahead and local legend of the Marsh Phantoms. Peter Cushing plays the local town minister and hiding his past. Patrick Allen plays Captain Collier sent to find the alcohol runners and uncovers that a vicious pirate may still be alive.
This was certainly enjoyable right from the start to end, it does have its flaws with the effects of the night sky still looking like it's day time but the period costumes are nicely done with the set pieces and Hammer usual Michael Ripper having a bit more screen time, and Oliver Reed charming the local young lady Yvonne Romain.
