Chilling & Creepy Film
First of all, I have not read MR James' book so I cannot compare the film to the book. Secondly, When I have read the book and watched the film I try never to compare the film to the book.
This made for TV film is really good - very chilling, creepy! I was really impressed how scary the night scenes were - James Parkin (John Hurt) alone in the hotel room completely scary stuff! I had chills running up and down my spine with the scratching noises, the strange smiling bust, the door ratting, banging on the door and the look on Parkin's (Hurt's) terrified face definitely gave me the willies!
If you like non-bloody, non-gory ghost stories then give this film a try. It's one of those slower films that builds over the viewing time - very subtle horror that becomes chilling.
8.5/10
