Mysterious and well acted, this very good ITV miniseries sustains an intriguing, creepy atmosphere for its entire 3 hours. Without a trace of Python, Michael Palin's convincing dramatic acting abilities serve the protection well, as do those of Mark Addy and Josie Comer.
Some older ghost story productions out of Britain, even some from the 80s and 90s, have a difficult-to-overcome cheap look, but this one is suitably contemporary in style, use of color, and cinematography. The script has some inconsistencies or moments of incoherence, or so it seems to me; but nothing that sinks the production. Somewhat underrated, and very much recommended for fans of ghost story flicks.
