This is quite an exciting Hammer action film dealing with a Spanish Armada ship that lands on the English Coast oh, and takes over the village, hiding the fact that the Spanish have surrendered to the crown. The villagers do not know what's going on, and Captain Christopher Lee intends on holding out as long as he can, before taking his ship and the remaining crew to the East Indies rather than back to Spain. But clever villagers managed to plot a rebellion even though they don't know the truth, and of course with that truth is revealed, they have the key to defeating Lee and his men even though he plans on taking a bunch of hostages to ensure their easy escape.
A fun, colorful adventure yarn that is non-stop excitement and features laid in a great part outside of horror villains. It looks like no expense was spared in creating a believable atmosphere, with the village and surrounding area (which includes mock that could suck anybody that falls in under) nicely designed. Lee is having a lot of fun and looks great in his tight uniform got taken from ship's captain to pirate, conqueror and kidnapper. The Supporting Cast is great too, and there are some very intense moments involving potential car games that manage do not go through at the last minute. And of course there's a little kid who ends up saving the day by finding out the truth. While this may not be historically accurate and obviously fictional, it's a great look at the Elizabethan age that builds up to a sensational explosive conclusion.
