Keeping it in the family.
A lovely visual feast in this creepy horror version of the original novel. Many films lavish huge sums on the Special Effects but this movie managed to freak me out with a few little girls marching in step down the High Street in animal masks! The casting has been perfect with Rufus Sewell as a flawed smoothie struggling to maintain his Zen-like calm in the face of supernatural terror. Bertie Carvel unrecognizable behind those thick lenses.
Leonora Lonsdale did well to cast the glorious Sarah Woodward as Mark's delightful aunt. What a charming and clever tribute to The Wicker Man. Dad would be so proud!
