I thought the Susan Hill thing was a tad shit too. It did have a few genuinely scary moments (and I mean "a few"), but some of those that could have been really frightening, such as when the child ghost attacked adults with adult force, were poorly staged. Also crap story and weak well-signposted ending.
Ah, Mr Smith. You've given me a dilemma. I'm a sucker for anything M R James but ever since Mark Gattiss departed the League of Gentlemen, in which I thought he was good, I haven't really enjoyed anything I've seen that he's written, directed, acted in or otherwise had a go at. I see it's on offer for another 3 weeks, so I'll probably give it a try.never trust a man in a blue trench coat, never drive a car when you're dead |
