Thomas Stiver
This is an amusing, campy pirate film. I think Thomas Stiver should have received a much higher billing in the movie as his is the performance that stands out above the rest. His accent is consistent and authentic, his delivery quite in character and overall performance outshines all others. Mr Stiver's performance shows talent and experience.
Some of the effects were a little cheesey, but overall a great flick to add to your collection.

Ghosts?????
This is a "straight to video" film. Not much acting, zero "plot", so-so costumes... kind of a bust as to time spent watching it. It's DEFINITELY NOT one I wish to see again!
