In the Tradition of the classic 80s films including the Goonies and Stand by Me, comes one certain film for kids and adults would definitely enjoy since it's not on DVD that they both remembered watching back in the nineties when they rented movies long before Netflix came around.
the plot and story is very impressive, the cast is still good but some of the actors have been forgotten since who knows when, neat narration told by the lead character "David Shipper" and of course the music score is really nice.
the Story is very that simple, we're the protagonist David notice his cousin Jonathan is coming over for the summer during the 100th Anniversary of the Emerald Cove's establishment and they decide to have a camp out at the beach along with his friend Freddy who can be a goof ball most of the time, until they found a piece of a paper which happens to be a map and even read about the lighthouse murder that began 30 years ago.
around that time, Cap happens have lost his mind after he can't remembers his own name and start to think of the girl named "Sally Mae" and some bad guys who are more like the Fratellis and a little bit redneck (since this movie is filmed in California) who somehow in search of the treasure itself since Mr. Haley happens to be the lighthouse murderer and wore that uniform and pick-ax all along that look it came out of a murder mystery novel.
on and all, this is a unique family film ever to come out in the late 80s and early 90s since I've seen this many times at my local Blockbuster Video store in the early 2000s before DVDs became popular, if you love some films ever to come in the eighties like the Goonies, Explorers, Stand by Me, the Monster Squad as well as the Indiana Jones films In which they are kinda rated PG and it's third film "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" is given a PG-13 rating then this is worth seeing when you come across it on YouTube since there are a few other movies that never did get a DVD Release to this day including the Prehysteria Trilogy, Trading Mom and even The Gate II: Trespassers.
