This Atmospheric, Claustrophobic, Dank Display of an Ancient Structure, is Discovered to Have a Live-In "Ghost".
A Group of Tech Entrepreneurs Decide to "Out" the Screaming Apparition and 1 Hypothesis is that the "Ghost" is Actually Embedded in the Stone-Structure and is "Playing-Back" the Stone's "Recordings"...It is a "Breakthrough" that the Group Thinks will Revolutionize the Industry.
It's Quite an Odd Bit of Formulation for a Ghost-Story. A Sort of Science and Supernatural Blenc that Celebrated Writer Nigel Kneale Worked into His Award Winning "Quatermass" Series and Movies.
Although, it Doesn't Quite Work Here, but Almost.
It's Held Back by a Minuscule Budget, some Bad and Over-the-Top Acing, and a Hyperbolic Intensity that, Considering the Close-Quarters Becomes Intolerable at Times.
There is a Great Deal of Shouting (Michael Bryant) who seems to Explode Every Other Minute for Some Reason or Another.
There is a Great Deal of Crying (Jane Asher) who is On Edge Most of the Time and seems Ready to Break Down for Some Reason or Another.
The Melodramatics from All are a Bit Much, and in that Sense the Film hasn't Dated Well.
But There's Enough Here in the Story and the Physical Atmosphere that Makes it Intriguing and Off-Beat Enough, that with Low Expectations it's...
Worth a Watch
Note...This is considered by many to be one of the best BBC Movies of all time and has a huge Fanbase.
