Well done. Given the limitations of time, costume, location and the age of the cast, this was a great result - it kept me watching to the end, even though I know the story very well. I can only guess how long it took to film and edit all this. I wonder if you should have stuck to the piano accompaniment all the way through? Also, the electronic organ, with piano audio was one detail in which my suspension of disbelief collapsed! Thanks for this interesting posting. Admirable.

Thanks! It was a lot of fun to film, and a lot of tears to edit.

A classic horror story, because all of the worst bits are in the imagination of the reader or viewer.

The actors are young.

Reply to: @ColeKH I'm sure it was and it did. I've just watched it through again, and must compliment you on the ending, which I thought was very compelling.

@Zathinean Easy to be wise, AFTER the event!

Good job. This is one of the most frightening tales ever written.
