- SynopsisHorror. The bodies of three young holidaymakers are discovered, murdered, on the British lighthouse island of Snape, leaving one survivor, named Penny, in a catatonic state. An expedition is mounted to investigate the deaths. The presence of an unusual Phoenician sacrificial sword with the bodies leads people to suspect that the island may be the burial place of an ancient Phoenician warrior, entombed along with a wealth of gold. The investigators arrive and soon find themselves cut off from the mainland and seemingly pursued by a murderous madman with claw-like hands, who knows the secrets of the caves that lie beneath the island.
