I have watched this before and it is one of the most chilling scary plays I have ever seen. Absolutely fantastic. Elaine Stricht at her finest. Thank you so much. It is certainly one of a kind.

Andrew Knight ... I would have thought once was enough, what a load of rubbish it was ... ghastly shrieking woman all the way through it was enough to give you a headache.

You don't need special effects, just that build of fear and anticipation.

We all would be talking to ourselves out loud if we are stuck in a similar situation like this hysterical woman. For the purpose of this storyline, she is alone and so basically the narration, although we can hear it out loud, she was only thinking loud in her head. I like this kind of subdued ghost stories but the maid was a major plot hole in this story. Granted, she knows the house like the back of her hand but there was no way that ghost boy could have manipulated the dolls and the door closing by itself, and the music box without any sound.
@SamuelBlack842 ай бұрын
I think the only thing that was caused by the ghosts was when they cut her throat and when they stood in the corner Everything else was the maid In terms of a more psychological ghost story, I strongly recommend the novel Dark Matter by Michelle Paver It has the same style as this with a lone protagonist and their own narration

She could always break the stained glass windows and pop across the fields to the pub.
@CatherineDover19 күн бұрын
No, she couldn’t because the window still had bars on it, however, she could have jumped out of the kids bedroom window, done a commando roll and high tailed it to the pub!!

Elaine Stritch's remarkable theatrical talent makes it very hard to believe her on television. It's a curse of her outstanding ability as a stage actress. In stark contrast to Stephanie Cole.

Elaine Stritch was hysterical - talking to herself.
@Bambisgf7710 ай бұрын
As other mentioned, the actress is not talking to herself but voicing her thoughts as a monologue for the audience to know what she is thinking.

@@Bambisgf77 Sure! Especially when she's screaming, "HELLO?! IS THERE ANYBODY THERE??!!" With a cigarette butt dangling from her mouth. She was hysterical in this.

I could accept the poor picture but stretching a 4:3 programme to 16:9 just makes it unwatchable.

I love this kind of thing. It's a treasure, but the constant ads are ridiculous. Really spoiled my enjoyment, I'm afraid. It ruins the suspense and feels unnecessary. Thanks for posting such a gem but pity about the ads.
