Having just watched a really sub-standard depiction of Casting the Runes, I found this superior to many of the older M.R.James interpretations, except maybe The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral. The acting was excellent and the hotel scenes were a feast for the eyes for lovers of historic buildings and set the mood for a James story. The climactic scenes were truly frightening unlike Oh,Whistle and I'll Come To You,My Lad which were quite laughable.
