Phantom Ship (1935)
*** (out of 4)
Hammer's first film is about the mysterious surroundings behind the legend of the Mary Celeste. This film tells one version where several suspects are looked out including a tortured man played by Bela Lugosi. I think this film gets a lot of negative reviews, which it really doesn't need. I've read reviews where people say the film fails because it doesn't shed any real light on the mystery but hey, the true story is a mystery so no one really knows what happened. The film runs a fast paced 62-minutes and the movie goes by very fast even though it's mostly a talking film. Lugosi turns in one of his best performances and thankfully he never goes over the top but instead gives an intense, psychological performance.
