It wes alright.
I have no real experience in 70s British folk horror like this, but after watching this short story I'm genuinely interested to learn more. Very enjoyable 30 minutes.
Good old-fashioned ghost story! NICE.
Confusing and plodding beginning but brilliant practical effects and sound design turn the last few minutes into pure nightmare fuel.
The payoff at the end is worth the time spent watching and truly I enjoyed it. I plan to watch the others in this series, I've really been enjoying these, thanks Shudder!
