V.Good, but 10 min too long
A good, atmospheric film, perhaps a little too long at 50min.
The acting is excellent, (little dialogue though) no gore or violence, yet towards the last five minutes it manages to be psychologically disturbing at a fundamental level.
It reaches the `child? in us all. -

I had been trying to get hold of this ever since it ranked in channel 4's top scariest moments of all time.
Initially I thought I was going to be dissapointed, but was I wrong.
The sense of impending dread is overwhelming, and at times it is almost unbearable to watch.
It's everything 'The Haunting' should have been. (the remake anyway).
A real gem, just a pity it's on little over half an hour. -
