A quite superb reinterpretation.

Rating: 9/10 (24 March 2019)

As a huge fan of the stage play, and Channel 4 film, I was ecstatic to learn the film was being remade, however when I heard that Daniel Radcliffe was to take the lead my heart sank.
However I must give credit to Radcliffe and indeed Hammer for giving us a rather excellent movie. It has so much tension, so much implied horror and some great, albeit too few scares. Radcliffe is excellent in the role, he's sincere and somehow innocent enough to fit the role incredibly well. Plaudits also to Janet McTeer, also excellent.
The production values are excellent, it's a beautiful looking film, it's eerie enough without being overdone, we don't have creaky doors or loose floorboards, just the right amount.
I thought the start was incredibly chilling, and helped to set the tone.
A truly excellent movie, a shame they had to follow it up with the slightly heavy handed second. 9/10
