A brilliant adaptation of Sarah Waters book by Andrew Davies. A must see, lots of twists and turns and quite spooky. Fantastic cast to boot.
This is an enjoyable costume drama that would look comfortable on the BBC but not on the big screen.
This is not a horror movie and the only scary moment in the film was when the lips and voices of the actors went out of sync. It is nonetheless worth a look at if you have any interest in Victorian costume drama, spiritualism and the penal system.
Don't watch if you are looking for an effect-rich fright fest.
