    I caught up with this movie on Prime Video. Wanted to see what the fuss was about. For a film that had some great reviews from major magazines I was surprised to see some bummer reviews. I guess it will be one what decides those who do and don't like what they see, obviously. My first thought was this Henry VIII drama might have a touch of Wolf Hall about it until I realized it was made in 1996, 13 years before the first Wolf Hall book! Do these filmmakers know that their idea was nicked? I guess they should by now. Sure this is low budget and is in one location. It doesn't pretend to be an epic Lawrence of Arabia film. I liked this slow burn indie style costume drama. Makes a change from a mind numbing indie horror Blair Witch rip off that so many debut features are. If you dig around you can see that John Walsh who wrote and filmed this is today a mega awards laden filmmaker and writer of books, also knows as a best-selling author! Be part of the light and not the darkness and see this film ideally at night but leave a positive review. It is like a Tudor ghost story. I like other reviewers feel haunted after seeing it. The house it was filmed in is a real haunted English manor house.
