I've just got the long-awaited release of this classic 1972 TV play on DVD, and I'd love to know what other peeps think of it.
Also, did Nigel Kneale coin the phrase "Stone Tape", along with the theory that buildings can somehow record traumatic events or memories, giving rise to some ghosts? Or was it a theory that was known well before he came to write it?
From my point of view, it's a memorably creepy piece of work, marred only by the fact that its shot on video rather than film. Some of the early 70s fashions are a wee bit scary too!:blah:
Mind you. that closing scene has got to be one of the best of any paranormal thriller, and even makes me forgive them for the dodgy chromakey when the "ancient forces" make their appearance and go after Jane Asher:eek!!!!:
