it is about a group of computer scientists experimenting in an old big mansion. that is ofc haunted. when they find out they try to investigate the rumours about the ghost of a maid and to record the ghost. n they do manage to do so with all this new equipment. however, they find out that proving the facts isnt doing them any good and cant save them really.
all in all it s an interesting british film with a fairly good weird plot by Nigel Kneale and overall good acting. one more achievement is that despite the partly sci-fi theme regarding the analog to digital trinketry, it still manages to maintain all the characteristics of the classic haunting gothic tale and to be a bit chilling at times, not letting the computers get in the way of creating the needed atmosphere.
but ofc there were a few things that baffled and displeased me, such as the kinda slow beginning and the low standard of the special effects, but foremost: the screaming! it was excessive, nerve wracking. i do not know why, but jane asher was the only person speaking normally, while the rest of the cast seemed to be screaming their lungs out like madmen throughtout the entire film causing poor pretty jane an incredible headache, truly. it was plain to see.
