| User ReviewLaurence CWonderfully eccentric, intense, and amusing performance from Michael Hordern as a repressed academic on holiday on the bleak Norfolk coast. The moral of the story is:don't take home any whistles you might find in spooky graveyards. Something else might come home with you. |
| User ReviewClare OBrilliantly bleak setting of the famous M.R. James ghost story by Jonathan Miller. Terrifying. |
| User ReviewMithila Minxy KThis is not for the faint-hearted. Trust me when I say that I can't sleep well at night and I lay blame on Jonathan Miller. Get your hands on this one and get spooked. |
| User ReviewJenny AOh my giddiest aunt! I had to sleep in an attic after watching this and I only managed it because I'd been making generously with the white wine! One of those films where it's what you don't see that scares you. Incredibly atmospheric, top notch acting and just aaaaaaagh! |
| User ReviewWut SAtmospheric and surreal. Not only the film wowed with its supernatural story, darkly it foredooms the intellectual hubris--the losing of our logic, the blur of what's real and what's physical. This is a brilliant, haunting depiction of when conscious falls into tricks and turns. |
| User ReviewJason JMichael Hordern gives an incredible performance in the terrifying film. It scares the pants off me, but you can't get enough of this one. Its only 40 mins long, and all the better for it. Michael Hordern is a genius, I need to see more of his films. |
| User ReviewBrian GJust brilliant. The 2010 version isn't too bad either, tho not a patch on the original |
| User ReviewPaul CFun low-key creeper version of the M R James story. Ends rather abruptly, but is worth a watch |
| User ReviewThomas PFookin' terrifying weird shit this is. Horrible sound effects. |
| User ReviewPrivate UAbsolute gold. I'm so gald i was introduced to this haunting masterpiece. Unlike any other, this horror is mind-bending and shocking. The atmosphere is very uneasy and the lead role is unusual. |
