When Nigel Kneale is right, he's fucking right.

Great cast all round. Barbara Shelley, Julian Glover, James Donald... all absolutely splendid... and all the smaller roles filled by great British jobbing actors!

It’s a great production. Lovely performances. Even Kneale’s reaction is still compellingly portrayed in the final scenes. Chilling.

The film is possibly my favourite thing from Hammer but I have oddly-wonderful memories of being unwell as a kid (mumps or something) & my grandmother bringing me the VHS compilation of the Andre Morrell/Rudolph Cartier version…which unnerved the Hell out of me. Good ol’ Gran! 😂

The original TV version has better effects.

The gravel under Sladden’s hand - the way it ripples in the TV version!
