Rating:  - Really, a one star production
The version with Charles Laughton is still unavailable on dvd and the Ian Richardson one is cost-prohibitive. So, after doing some searches on different versions of this movie, I decided on this particular version-- since Patrick Stewart is definitely one of my favorite actors.

Rating:  - Good Ghost Story

Wish they would put the Gielgud one out on DVD

Rating: - Very Good Overall
I ordered this because I liked the Charles Laughton version. However this is overall a better movie. Patrick Stewart is excellent as well as the rest of the cast and the script. Very enjoyable.
