Horror on Snape Island or Tower of Evil is a 1972 horror movie directed by Jim O'Connolly and starring Jill Haworth, Anna Palk, Bryant Haliday and William Lucas.

The film begins with two men coming to an island. They discover a dead body. They look around and find more bodies. A girl is there and she is hysterical. She stabs one of the men. The other man survives. She is taken to an asylum. Superintendent Hawk(Lucas) comes to see her but she is catatonic. Dr. Simpson(Anthony Valentine) hypnotises her. He wants to find out what happened to her. He brings her back to her arrival on the island. A man called Mr. Bakewell(Dennis Price) organises an expedition to the island to find treasure and artifacts. The archaeologists are Rose(Jill Haworth), Nora(Anna Palk), Dan(Derek Fowlds), Adam(Mark Edwards),Gary(John Hamill), Des(Robin Askwith), Brom(Gary Hamilton) and Dr Simpson. A man called Evan(Haliday) is also going to the island to find out about the girl's story. Evan talks to a fisherman called Hamp(Jack Watson) who will take them to the island. 

Hamp's brother and sister in law lived on the island. They had a baby but it died on the island. The group looks around the island. Des is the first to meet a bad end, followed by another girl. Gary gets it next. They realise that someone else is on the island. Nora sees something later and she screams and faints. It's a body. The others come and find her. Their radio gets wrecked and their boat is destroyed. Hamp talks to Adam. The corpse is Martha. She died six months ago. Hamp says that Saul was mad but he wouldn't kill anyone. The others think that he is in the caves. Hamp says that he only saw Martha when he dropped off supplies. The men search the caves.  Hemp tells Brom that there is gold in the caves and Saul knows where it is. Rose hears noises. She looks around and she sees a man. Nora is confronted by Saul and he throws her off the lighthouse.

Adam, Rose and Dan are going to blow up the rocks to find the caves. Evan is in there too. He finds statues.  Brom sees a statue too. He is looking for the gold. He takes stuff from the caves but he ends up dead when Saul catches him.  Evan finds the maniac and he shoots at him. The others show up and they hear the shot. Saul shows up and he kills Dan. Evan shoots him dead. Evan has a boat hidden on the island. Hamp is stabbed by Saul and Martha's son, Michael, who survived. Michael is after Rose. She manages to set him alight. Everything burns as the survivors escape. The tower explodes. 

I liked this film. It was fun. These 70's horror films are always entertaining. There is an impressive cast in this. The story was interesting and I liked the ending. I would recommend this one. It has enough to keep you watching until the end. I will give it a 6/10.
