Rating:  - EXCELLENT GHOST STORY OF AN EVIL SPIRIT!
I have this DVD, which I obtained from the U.K., and recommend it to all viewers. If you can, try and get a copy of this film on either DVD, or VHS, it is well worth the time and money. This excellent BBC film, first aired in 1992. [In the USA]. The entire film is outstanding! Maurice Allington (Albert Finney) is a womanizing alcoholic, and the owner of the "Green Man Inn." When his father dies, he begins to see someone no one else can. Everyone shrugs it off as too much drink. However, there is ... Read More

Rating: - Great!
A very thoughful and discriminating film treatment of Kingsley Amis's novel. Albert Finney is absolutely perfect for the role. In fact he adds more dimension to the character from the story.

Rating:  - A gem of a horror......
I first saw this film on A&E in 1992, and was impressed with it. The combination of gothic horror, light comedy and drama made this somewhat lengthy film a treat to watch.

I recommend this movie to any horror fan, who appreciates a good story without the intense gore and shallow dialogue. Albert Finney is PERFECT in this role as the boozing, womanizing inn-keeper in the English ... Read More
Rating: - We found this to be a spiffy little thriller.
It's a source of frustration that we can't buy "The Green Man" on DVD. It's the kind of pleasant little spooker that's just right for a rainy night with a fire in the fireplace, etc., etc....
our absolute requirements for a ghost story flick are intelligent writing/acting and superb atmosphere, and this delivers both admirably. We could watch it again and again.
