Production

[edit]

The film was written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson as a pilot for an unsold weekly TV series.[1] It was almost entirely filmed in London.[2]

Reception

[edit]

Kevin Lyons from the website "The EOFFTV Review" gave the film a mixed review writing: "It's not a great film by any stretch of the imagination but it's a more restrained and thoughtful work than the brain-dead action films that Anderson was about to make his own". Lyons concluded: "It's not the greatest ghost story ever made but it had potential and the final images suggest that the subsequent series was about to take off in more interesting directions.[3]
