7/10
Decent episode even with his scary scenes
19 June 2021
The story is set on a Caribbean island. Red Buckley, a murderous thief and con man named this way because of his hair colour; he also try to convince rich plantation owner Emil Duval to give him a job, but as an excuse to steal the precious Black Pearl since Red wants to sell it for achieving the money. Buckley also falls in love with Duval's gorgeous wife Katherine who is also interested in the pearl and while one night there is a fight on the island between the rebels and the army they see this as a chance for stealing the pearl, but it won't be easy as they thought as a mysterious priestess (Whoopie Goldberg) is scheming while lying and waiting.

There were some gross scenes (such as the one when Red and Katherine search the pearl inside Duval's stomach and there are also lots of worms, and also the one where the Priestess chops Red's head off and we see the attachment of his cut neck) but they didn't turned me off (probably because I loved ABRA CADAVER). It's a nice episode despite this, and check Whoopie's reactions to the Crypt Keeper's questions at the end!
