The premise
Paxton, an amateur archeologist, travels to the town of Seaburgh and inadvertently stumbles across one of the lost crowns of Anglia, which, according to legend, protect the county from invasion. On digging the crown up, Paxton is stalked by its supernatural guardian.
Horror Vault's take
An amateur archaeologist arrives in the quiet coastal town of Seaburgh seeking one of the legendary lost crowns of Anglia — relics said to shield the region from invasion. When he unearths what he believes to be his prize, something old and relentless takes notice. Adapted from M.R. James's celebrated ghost story, this BBC production leans heavily on atmosphere and creeping dread rather than spectacle. The Suffolk landscape itself becomes a character, cold and indifferent to the fate of those who disturb what should remain buried.
