 Not in the least bit frightening October 29, 2008

I saw this on BBC television and it is not in the least bit frightening. In fact, the wires can be seen attached to the bedclothes which are supposed to be rising by themselves.

This could have been so good if the director had stuck to the story instead of writing a version of his own.
M.R.James created a classic here, with a truly horrific moment that was destined to stay in the mind of the reader forever and a day.
Since my first reading of this story, I have never been able to look at scarecrows OR the Suffolk coastline (near to where I live) without his vivid imagery lurking in the back of my mind.
Why Jonathan Miller thought he could create a better scenario to James, when in interviews he comes across as against anything that smells vaguely of the paranormal, is beyond me.
The sad thing is, with Michael Hordern AND the landscape featuring in this version, Miller could have left us with something memorable.
He ruined it with his large ego.

Remembered from many years ago
Creepy claustrophopic atmoshere still exists for me.
Subtle, quiet, spooky and interesting. Classic

i love this short film! superb acting, you get drawn into the character and almost feel sorry for him to suffer his disbelief.
not one for new school shock film fans. but as mentiond above, the scare tactics appear hours after the films finished!
bbc1 have produced some terrific ghost films such as this, the woman in black and more of the m.r james collection. why stop now? very few ghost films have been done that are of any standard ,and i for one would love to see more been written to the brilliance of whistle and ill come to you and the woman in black.
Not for M.R. James Enthusiasts December 12, 2007

I bought this after reading the M.R. James short story only to find that Jonathan Miller's production reflects very little of the original story or plot. This in itself is very disappointing especially as the terror and horror of the story is not really captured in the film - where is the "crumpled face of linen" - and leaves you pondering why the Michael Hordern character is acting the way he is especially given as there is none of the fine narrative in the story.
