Overview
In 1826 British-ruled India, the secret Cult of Thugee demonstrates their worship of their goddess, Kali, by the mutilation and mass murder of thousands of Indians while pirating the shipments of the British East-Indian Tea Company. As the British military leaders play down the implications of the piracy and disappearances, a lone captain realizes that they are not just coincidence and sets out to uncover the source of the deviltry, at the risk of his career. Based on history.

Viewing Notes
Even though it definitely suffers from white savior syndrome, it does a pretty good job of depicting the East India Trading Company in a poor light.
The cinematography is pretty good and the transfer is excellent. First watch from the 20 film Hammer set from Mill Creek.
