Storyline
This ghost story, set at the turn of the century, centers on the plight of elderly dowager Marianna, who is tormented by the alleged specter of a young man roaming the corridors of her mansion. After spotting a face in an old photograph that seems to match the old woman's description of the "visitor", Marianna's sister decides to check things out and see if any of this is for real.

A superb period ghost story.
There aren't any actors that I recognise in the film,but that doesn't matter one jot.
The film has a strange timeless quality to it,and for the most part the performances are flawless.
It's hard to fathom why a film of this quality has all but disappeared and is only available as a bootleg.
Having said that the less than perfect picture quality of the copy I watched added to the atmosphere!
Superb musical score too.
Highly recommended if atmosphere is more important to you than visceral shocks.
Does anyone know if this ever got a theatrical release in the UK, or if the Temple video release was it's only official release?
They don't make them like this anymore!
