The premise
A university professor, confident that everything which occurs in life has a rational explanation, finds his beliefs severely challenged when, during a vacation to a remote coastal village in Norfolk, he blows through an ancient whistle discovered on a beach, awakening horrors beyond human understanding.
Horror Vault's take
A self-assured academic takes a solitary seaside holiday in Norfolk, certain that the world operates by logic and reason alone. His convictions begin to crack when an ancient whistle unearthed on the beach seems to stir something dormant and deeply wrong. What follows is a masterclass in creeping dread, built not on spectacle but on atmosphere, suggestion, and one man's unravelling certainty. Adapted from M.R. James's celebrated ghost story, this BBC production remains one of British horror television's most quietly devastating achievements.
