Drama
Part of The Spectral Child on Screen
In a dusty post-war summer in rural Warwickshire, a doctor is called to a patient at lonely Hundreds Hall. Home to the Ayres family for over two centuries, the Georgian house is now in decline. But are the Ayreses haunted by something more sinister than a dying way of life. When Faraday takes on a new patient there, he has no idea how closely the family's story is about to become entwined with his own.
The film will be introduced by Dr Lucy Arnold, Senior Lecturer in English Literature (Contemporary) at the University of Worcester.
