Could do with a remake
27 December 2004 | by (Norfolk, England) – See all my reviews

The last reviewer has got it spot on, but I will add my comments nonetheless. Here we have a remarkable mystery in an unremarkable film. The Radio Times described this as an "unexceptional mystery" and then went on to talk about Sir John MIlls in the review, as there is little more to say about the film.

I watched this film because John Mills is my hero. I taped it and am pleased I did. This is a completely original story, and one I've not heard of elsewhere. I'm not a fan of remakes, but this cries out for one (Not with Chris Columbus). When I'm rich I'll produce, direct and star in a remake.

Possibly.
