The original story makes great play of the 'linen face'. We don't really get that here I think it would have been hard to do on el cheapo productions. Oh I agree. But it's the scariest bit of the original story, I think - even though it'd definitely NOT transpose well to the screen I actually think next week's MRJ is the best - A Warning to the Curious. Intriguing titles they all have. |

It did need more Templars, mind. Almost as if they assumed the audience already knew the story. I can see why you'd think that. I find your lack of faith disturbing...oops wrong film. I liked the lack of knowing what was going on when I 1st watched it. But I was aware of a myth based on blowing a pipe, something mythological... Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Shall I say it? "You wouldn't get telly like that nowadays..." Too true. The 2010 version with John Hurt was good enough, probably scary / scarier in some ways but the ending was a fkn travesty. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

It did need more Templars, mind. The Templars have been overworked, I think. It's years since I read the original story, but I don't really see the Templar angle there. I'm mean mysterious whistles weren't their thing at all. |

Okey dokey! That was a goodie. And more where that came from. Please don't have nightmares. Do sleep well. Even though we've just shown you lots of nasty crimes. Until the next witching hour... |

We need some assertive Templar scholars to stand up and say 'This is rubbish'. |
