5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Mystery & Sister-Sister Deadly Duo, May 7, 2002
This review is from: Dark Adapted Eye [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Faith Severn (Bonham-Carter) tells us the story of her Aunts Vera and Eden. Faith stayed with them as a child during WWII when London was being bombed so she has the chance to witness their relationship turn from morbid closeness to conflict and hostility culminating in murder. It is a riveting piece of work and I was glued to the tv set the entire time. Of special interest is a plotline that is guided by two sisters whose conflict is born and festers when a baby is born to one of them. Two women in the same family, conflicted over a child born into that family, is a very common, every day occurrence and utterly believable as something that gets out of control fast. I must confess that Bonham-Carter, as I continue to see her shine in role after role, is a much better actress than I ever thought she'd turn into when I first saw her in "Room With A View," where she played a rather standard English historical ingenue. I've only seen this on video and so I can't comment about scenes which were edited out from when it showed on television, as one Amazon reviewer has done. I did not feel the lack of any scenes or character development, however. I have also not read the book so cannot compare that either although it is generally a fruitless task to compare films with the books they were based upon anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic mystery, October 5, 2003
This review is from: Dark Adapted Eye [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is a fantastic story, which has been adapted well for video. The characters are well developed and completely believable and the plot twists grippingly through the years during and just after World War II. Excellent performances from Helena Bonham Carter and the ever talented Celia Imrie kept me gripped. This is a brilliant story from Barbara Vine but is not based on real events.

5.0 out of 5 stars This film is one of the best book adaptions ever., August 11, 1998
By 
"st_catherine" (North California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dark Adapted Eye [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The life of Faith Severn is permanently altered when her uber-normal aunt, Vera, kills her sister Eden. Faith, in trying to understand what has transpired, discovers that her aunt and family hardly lead the kind of respectable, middle-class life they congratulated themselves on having. This is a beautifully done drama with great performances. A great way to spend an afternoon for mystery fans and lovers of great drama. END
