The Living Skeleton (1969)

AKA: Kyûketsu Dokuro-sen

Director: Hiroshi Matsuno

Premise:
Pirates gun down men and women for not apparent reason causing a mysterious fog to surround a coastal town.

My Take:
An interesting movie dealing with secrets, gold, and evil. An inspiration for John Carpenter's The Fog. Solid acting and storytelling are it's strength. But the film does suffer from a severe lack of special effects. They are so incredibly bad, it's funny

Rating: In the middle
