This puppy's an all time classic thiller that I personally love cause nothing says horror to me like a bunch of undead seafarers with leprosy that carry swords and sharp metal hooks. These guys are kind of ticked off that their ship sunk and their gold stolen by the founding fathers of the town of Antonio Bay so they decide to come back at the 100 year anniversery of the town to raise some serious hell.
They get off to a decent start when they hack up three drunk fishermen. Then the town's resident mentally unbalanced priest Father Malone discovers his grandfather's diary and trust me grandpa was pretty out there too (that and he helped kill a bunch of lepers and steal some gold). Then all hell breaks loose. Next thing you know you've got a giant glowing f'ing fog creeping up the town (guess what's in it) and the survivors hole up in the church with crazy Hal Holbrook and they also try to take out Adrianne Barbeau who's hiding on the top of the radio station/lighthouse. In the end they give the lepers back the gold which was conveniently melted into the form of a giant cross which was hidden in the church and they go away...until the last 5 seconds when they come back for Hal Holbrook.
This movie taught me the most important life lesson I ever learned. If you are in your house and you look out the window and your place is surrounded by a glowing fog and then somebody comes banging on the door carrying what look to be some sort of hooked sharp metal thing do not, I repeat do not OPEN THE FRIGGIN DOOR!!!
