Some things are just better left to the stage...

Rating: 6/10 (7 February 2020)

The problem with this whole concept is that it works so very much better on the stage. This isn't a terrible adaptation of Susan Hill's novel by any means, and Daniel Radcliffe does fine; but there is no suspense. The ghost is way too two dimensional; there is nothing eerie or scary about it - your imagination doesn't really get to run riot with this production at all. Marco Beltrami's score adds little to the tension either. Perhaps if you've never seen the play, then this might be better but for me it was a very poor relation.
