Whilst barely a ghost story this is still a bit of a delight. The whole thing echoes the sense of dread that many of these dramas envelop themselves in, but rather than showcasing the Gothic trappings of MR James this is a modern day set drama in which it's becomes obvious that the more times the immortal line "There is only ice in the ice house" is uttered that there's clearly something else as well as ice in the ice house.
The whole thing has an ambiguous approach and i'm still not convinced i understand the final scene but it's still rather good |
I've had the boxset for ages but I've never watched it .
