BBC Ghost Stories: Whistle and I'lI Come to You (1968 + 2010)+
A film by Jonathan Miller (1968) Andy De Emmony (2010)
As a Christmas treat in the Iate 1960s and 70s, the BBC produced adaptations of ghost stories based on the works of M R James, the Cambridge academic and author of some of the most spine-tingling tales in the English Ianguage, which were broadcast to terrified viewers in the dead of winter. This was a tradition that was briefIy revived by the BBC between 2007 and 2010.
These adaptations, which have a subtIety and style all of their own, have been a major influence on many contemporary British horror filmmakers and have come to be some of the most sought after British TV titles by their Iegions of eager fans.
WhistIe and l'lI Come to You (1968)
A fiIm by Jonathan MilIer
When a sceptical professor, played with eccentric intensity in a brilliant performance by Michael Hordern, finds an oId whistle on a Norfolk beach he unleashes a horrifying monster from the depths of his psyche
WhistIe and l'll Come to You (2010)
A fiIm by Andy de Emmony
In this 2010 rendering of M R James ceIebrated ghost story, John Hurt plays James Parkin, a loneIy retiree who has left his wife in a nursing home. Troubled by this turn of events, he visits their old holiday haunt, but discovery of a mysterious ring on the beach sparks a series of ghostIy encounters and disturbing nightmares which refuse to disappear in the coId Iight of day.
Atmospheric and emotive, this modern adaptation brings a fascinating new interpretation to an endIessIy creepy yarn.
