Ice House though was pretty dire, maybe I need to revisit it again to pick up things I may have missed just now? But from this viewing I was left cold (no pun intended) because it had no scares, a lame plot and some uninspiring characters. Disappointing.
Nice to have the lot now as you mention Cloud but these lack the creepy atmosphere of the M.R James adaptions & and the casts are weak too.Lord knows how either got made in the first place.They should've remade Casting The Runes as a period piece as the 1979 ITV adaption was awful.
