The premise
An alcoholic pub landlord has visions of a 17th-century doctor of the occult, beginning a monumental clash between good and evil. Adapted from the novel by Kingsley Amis.
Horror Vault's take
A hard-drinking English pub landlord finds his grip on reality tested when sinister visions of a 17th-century occultist begin haunting his days and nights. What starts as something easily dismissed as the bottle talking slowly reveals itself to be a far more ancient and dangerous confrontation. Based on Kingsley Amis's beloved novel, this British TV adaptation blends dark humour with genuine menace, grounding its supernatural stakes in one deeply flawed and compelling protagonist.
