Be aware the same actor plays Sir Richard and Sir Matthew so it’s a little bit confusing. Great short, definitely odd and not a big box office crowd pleaser for the masses. Perfect Shudder content.

Absolutely first-rate adaptation of M. R. James classic story. Horrific and highly recommended. All these 1970s BBC 'Ghost Stories for Christmas' films are crying out for remastering, restoration, and 4K versions.

That ruled. More surreal than a lot of of the other entries in this series. Absolutely did not see that ending coming. . .
