4.0 out of 5 stars A gem of a horror......, May 2, 2002

This review is from: Green Man [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw this film on A&E in 1992, and was impressed with it. The combination of gothic horror, light comedy and drama made this somewhat lengthy film a treat to watch. Unfortunately it is not availaible on DVD and it's even hard to find on VHS. My copy's slip cover is worn and well used. I recommend this movie to any horror fan, who appreciates a good story without the intense gore and shallow dialogue. Albert Finney is PERFECT in this role as the boozing, womanizing inn-keeper in the English countryside. Watch for the "visitor" in the latter half, and try and come to your OWN to conclusion what character he is playing in the story. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars A complex and entertaining adult ghost story., September 23, 1999

Greg Blackwell ([e-mail]) (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Green Man [VHS] (VHS Tape)

First saw this on A&E during Hallowe'en and it set the mood perfectly. Based on the novel by Kingsley Amis it is the story of a rural English country Inn and the ghosts that haunt it. Albert Finney is the alcoholic innkeeper who may be seeing spirits who is he just consuming them? Subtle and enchanting in the mode of the orginal "The Haunting", with a healthy dash of the erotic, to tell more would spoil it. If a chill up the spine and a tingle in the head are your cup of tea, you will not be disapponted.

5.0 out of 5 stars We found this to be a spiffy little thriller., March 26, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Green Man [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It's a source of frustration that we can't buy "The Green Man" on DVD. It's the kind of pleasant little spooker that's just right for a rainy night with a fire in the fireplace, etc., etc....
our absolute requirements for a ghost story flick are intelligent writing/acting and superb atmosphere, and this delivers both admirably. We could watch it again and again.
