Brilliant ghost story, 24 April 2000
9/10
Author: simon-118 from London

This could be Hammer's only successful ghost story. Part of their swan song series of 13 television films, this is a superbly written and original drama which really builds the menace and keeps the viewer guessing. Christopher Cazenove is a reliable lead and the charming Judy Loe is always a pleasure to watch, only the annoying Carol Linley marring the proceedings slightly. The claustrophobic location, believeable reactions and excellent twist ending all unite to make this a perfect little chiller, although the slow motion sequence is a bit drawn out. A gem!
