short and classic

I really like this short film.
rough. bloody. fear. dark. people's hearts. No Exit.
Deck of broken and decaying corpses.
Or the carcass of a shark.
the root of evil. No Exit.
The ending song is awesome
. . .
then one night there is a scream in the night and you wander who could that have been. . .

I'll tell you there is a ship
the black freighter
With a skull on its masthead
Will be coming in

being one night there is a scream in the night and you see who's that kicking up a row. . .

I'll tell you there is a ship
the black freighter
Turns around in the harbor
Shooting guns from her bow

By noontime the dock
Is a-swarmin with men
Comin out from the ghostly freighter
bending in the shadows
Where no one can see
and they are chainning up people
and they are bring them to me asking me
Kill them now, or later?

Noon by the clock
And so still by the dock
You can hear a foghorn miles away
And in that quiet of death
Ill say, right now.
Right now!

.. .
And the ship
The black freighter
Disappears out to sea
And
On
It
Is
Me

Tales of the Black Freighter quotes

  • The Sea Captain: There came an understanding so large, it left no room for sanity. So I ran. The knowledge of my damnation chased me, shouting, celebrating its awful victory.

  • [last lines]

    The Sea Captain: I was a horror; amongst horrors must I dwell.
