One of my worst fears in life is being trapped in a confined space with a dwindling air supply and no one to hear you scream. I won't give you any details as one of my other worst fears is giving away spoilers on IMDb(he said sarcastically), but you will find a scene like this in the 1958 classic, yet nearly forgotten nail biter, "The Snorkel", which is probably one of the main reasons why I'm giving it such a high rating. But the film has many other merits besides having one scene of unrelenting suspense;it also has a leading female character whom you can root for, who seems weak as a flower in her sanity, yet tough as nails as her tormentor pushes her to the edge. Our bad guy( I know there's a better word for bad guy out there, but I'm too tired to think of it now) is devilish, yet deserving of some sympathy by the end of the film. "The Snorkel" is a simple yet well played suspense film, one that can be enjoyed by hardcore Hammer fans and anyone looking for a good, solid suspense flick.
