Based on the Flannan Isle mystery. A small relief boat approaches a tiny, isolated island where a lighthouse is located. They're to replenish the stocks and replace the crew of 3. After they dock no one greets them. The winch is broken. The lamps are clean and refilled; the table's laid for dinner. There's an upturned chair, 2 sets of yellow oilskins are missing - the 3 men have vanished.

    Solid tension throughout, well acted, small cast but feels high stakes.

    Found this surprisingly good. Dark and dreary. Based on the old lighthouse mystery, I found it fascinating. Could the mercury leak have something to add to the madness?

    It was too hard to hear the sound and make out what they were saying. That made it very frustrating!
