A lesson in horror, 24 April 2002

It's true this film is one of an endangered species of Horror films. It is quite simply at first glance terrifying, it's blend of suspense, dark atmosphere, good script and wonderful shots make it one of the best ghost films there is and I hear it cost under £10,000 to make, Hollywood could learn a thing or two from these British classics. Vaughan and Swift are good in the leading rolls and the ending is really spooky to say the least.
