“This film has a LOT of potential: a haunted castle with a cloaked u0026quot;phantomu0026quot; running about, secret panels, hidden treasure, etc.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe only problem is that the crew seems to take FOREVER to get to the island, and once there, the u0026quot;scarey businessu0026quot; happens much too fast. It wouldu0026#39;ve been much better if they had added about 20 mins. to this film, that wouldu0026#39;ve allowed them to slowly build up each u0026quot;scareu0026quot;. As it is, things happens so fast, that you donu0026#39;t have time to u0026quot;savoru0026quot; them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA good film, none-the-less.”
