A crumbling hotel is the setting for a debut feature about the uneasy aftermath of a young woman’s death, which transcends the tired tropes of the crime dramaHere is a solid first feature debut from director Harry Sherriff, an atmospheric crime drama set in a gloomy, decaying seaside town, with an eerie depiction of grief experienced by those who exist within the margins of the life of a murdered girl.The film follows Leonard (Samuel Blenkin), a meek hotel concierge who has a boyish crush on his charming 25-year-old colleague Elle (Emily Carey).

It struck in my head as the ultimate horror film – it terrified the daylights out of me. Terence’s greatest beauties were his eyes – in some of the early films you don’t see it, but in person, when they were shining, he could hold a room. He’d sit there and say, “Watch this, I’m going to stop a restaurant.” And he could do it. I saw him do it! It was extraordinary. He once told me that he used to have real fun on Superman when he was bored, stuck on top of the ice castle. “I’d just stare down until everyone went quiet,” he said.We tried many actors when casting Bernadette in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of ...
