I saw this last week so the memory isn't as fresh in my aging memory as it could be, but I enjoyed it. I've always loved spooky and, while it wasn't perfect, there was enough of the other-worldly (as apart from alien-worldly) to keep me happy.
And, setting the old cinema in the Paget Rooms was icing on the cake. I've got a lot of history with that place and it was fun to see it featured.
GDL really is a star, isn't he, love him? His stage-presence is remarkable even when he's not doing anything (though, of course, each and every young Welsh actor automatically takes note of Burton's remarks on stillness) and, yes, he certainly pulls out the best in John when they share scenes. (Uhum, that could have phrased better, given John's proclivity for pulling bits of himself out, sorry!) He said, in November at The Point, how pleased he was to be the lead's love interest and he has certainly risen to the challenge - ironic how "the lead" seems to need him to make the most of his own acting abilities!
