## Description

Professor Parkins (Michael Hordern) has come for a week's holiday in a small hotel on the Norfolk coast. Wandering in a clifftop cemetery he discovers a bone poking out of one of the graves and takes it back to the hotel in order to examine it. He soon realises that the bone has been carved into a whistle, and can't resist raising it to his lips and giving it a blow, an act which has eerie and unexpected consequences....

    Ending is a huge let-down.
  

*by Q***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 July 2020*

If I was reviewing John Hurt’s performance only, I’d definitely have given it 5 stars. but this is a review of the film itself and whilst a younger generation may be used to movies which fail to deliver a satisfactory ending and are willing to give 4-5 stars for atmosphere alone, unfortunately I’m middle-aged and ‘old- school’. The creepy moments such as doors violently banging in the night and fleeting apparitions of a lone figure in white on a desolate miserable beach are not enough unless the ending is going to make sense.Unfortunately though, this is the BBC we are talking about and the BBC luvvies thinks their work is above the time honoured tradition of story-telling. We are treated like mere peasants and phillistines who aren’t capable of understanding true ‘art’. The film leads viewers up the garden until  they can’t quite tear themselves away, convinced that the story is going to conclude with a helluva spine-chilling twist or big reveal.Instead it leaves us high and dry with a non-sensical ending and no questions answered e.g. Why was the ‘Whistle and I’ll come to you’ instruction so relevant? (She didn’t whistle... and he didn’t come to her!!) what was the significance of the ring? Whose was it? Why was the ‘ghost’ of the wife so hostile when her husband had been nothing but compassionate towards her? and most of all, why the miraculous recovery of the wife after her husbands death? -or was that supposed to be her ghost getting out of the chair? If so, why didn't she leave her physical body still sitting in the chair? This film was soooo slow too. Productions like these are the dramatic equivalent of a shaggy dog story.

    Scary
  

*by E***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 March 2021*

I was very young when I read the classic story and I remember little, although the image of the beach apparition was what made me search for it again.So standing on its own, I found this to be a good movie, and quite scary actually.I may look up the story.

    Best of a bad bunch
  

*by N***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 October 2016*

I am a fan of MR James but his work has never been translated well to TV. The biggest problem has been the efforts of preening BBC directors to put their own ' interpretation' on James' stories instead of just putting the story on the screen, Ghost Stories for Christmas adaptations being the usual offenders. This adaption is less offensive than the recent adaptation starring John Hurt,which was roundly condemned. It sticks reasonably closely to the story but much of what went to bolster the story and build the atmosphere was stripped out, presumably to allow Michael Horden to mumble a bit more.
