Horror Vault's take

When a dead woman's shoe yields a mysterious list of names, one man finds himself dangerously entangled in a web of suspicion that leads him to a crumbling rural dwelling known as The Pale Horse. Three women there have a sinister local reputation — whispered to be witches capable of making inconvenient people disappear for the right price. This stylish BBC adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel steeps its 1960s setting in dread, blurring the line between dark superstition and cold-blooded murder. Rufus Sewell anchors a strong ensemble as the mystery deepens into something far more unsettling than a simple whodunit.
