Featured review
Worth seeing for Valentine Dyall alone.
Having listened to a ghost story on the wireless, a family are told a chilling tale of a real life ghost story that happened some years ago in their very house.
In theory this was right up my Street, I'm a big fan of these sinister mysteries from the 1940's, in reality however, I just didn't rate it. I'm not holding its age against it, there are many great films from the era, but this one doesn't hit the mark.
I'll start with the single positive, Doctor Clinton, a very fine performance from Valentine Dyall, and his commanding, velvet voice is put to great use, he really does stand out, sadly he makes most of the cast look very lacking.
I felt that it lacked atmosphere and suspense, the pacing was way too slow, when something finally did happen, my interest had all but gone.
It's a very low budget affair, and that tells, there are too many silent scenes with heavy music, so little actually happens for large parts, if you can stay focused on it, I applaud you.
It seems like a rare, lesser known film, so it's worth a look for that alone, just don't expect much, it has little to offer, other than Valentine Dyall.
4/10.
