Gripping though slightly dated BBC sci fi/ horror tale from 1972, scripted by Quatermass' Nigel Kneale, and addressing the idea of 'recording' ghosts on to tape using scientific methods.
Some slightly wonky performances give cause for concern at first, but eventually this develops into a creepy and intelligent drama, with a genuinely unsettling ending.
Again I say dont bother.To be classed as horror is a lie.Its should be classed as 70's crap.The idea however is a good one,but it could have been realised in a much better way.Not impressed at all!!
