Review of Stigma

Stigma (1977 TV Short)
6/10
Very 1970s
23 December 2023
This isn't a full length movie more of a short it came in at around 45 mins when shown on Talking Pictures TV. This is a quite atmospheric British ghost story which moves along pretty fast towards it's conclusion. The story concerns a family who move into a remote country house and have tasked local workmen with removing a huge bolder from their garden. The workers eventually do but have obviously unleashed something in the process of doing so. The remainder of the film concerns the inevitable haunting of the family so no spoilers here. The acting is fine with some known faces from British TV and it's a very British story so no German/American poltergeists. It's a story firmly rooted in English folklore. There's a surprising amount of nudity in this one so it's obviously not for kids. It has a very 1970s ending however so may not be to everyone's taste. But fans of Tales of The Unexpected or Inside No.9 will enjoy this. I can see Matt Berry being a fan.
