    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Based on the last, unfinished short story by Edgar Allan Poe. Unofficially titled "The Light-House."
    • Goofs
      When J.P. is sawing the wood, you can see that there are no teeth on the saw blade. Also, the sound of the saw cutting is not in sync with the motion. It is an obvious and significant discrepancy.

    Low budget throwback to low budget Roger Corman Poe films
    Low budget, but surprisingly good Edgar Allan Poe film based upon his last (and unfinished) story. There's a long history of excellent low budget Poe film adaptations that really started with Roger Corman and Vincent Price's "The Fall of the House of Usher," so that alone made me kind of like this film. I'm not familiar with this Poe story, but the film follows a castaway washing up on an unfamiliar shore. He follows a mysterious ethereal woman and later awakens at a lighthouse run by Vernon Wells (you know, Wez from "The Road Warrior." "YOU! You can RUN, but you can't HIDE!"). The film does a good job of capturing that old Roger Corman feel of a doomed household and doing it all with a straight face, though with a slight tongue-in-cheek. I'm not sure this film will interest casual horror fans or art-house fans, but for people who enjoyed the old Roger Corman Poe films, this was kind of a fun throwback treat.
