devils and ghost
One thing you can say about thre BBc is that they know how to do costume drama,you can't really fault them on there production values either.M.R. James Number 13,may not be best adaptation of his work,and to be honest most have taken liberties with the stories here and threre. But I enjoy because it does'nt feel the need to rush into the story or explain its character motivation's or any other modern story devices,it feels like it was made in the 70's becuse its slow and abit up its own bum.Greg Wise is wonderful as the pompous Anderson and at the start his character is totally unlikeable but after he's had a few sleepless nights of torment you kind of feel sorry for him.Im not saying this is the best of M>R<James adaptations but I like it and christ its got to be better than Downtown abbey. vlcsnap-00009.jpgvlcsnap-00011.jpgvlcsnap-00013.jpgvlcsnap-00014.jpgvlcsnap-00015.jpgvlcsnap-00016.jpg

Karloff link. Then I think I was going to The Blood Beast Terror. At some point I want to end up at The Comeback.

Plus it has this classic quote - "It's like Boris Karloff is going to pop up at any moment". I take it the link is director Vernon Sewell? |
