This scared my sister and I silly when it was originally broadcast. With age, ghosts are a bit silly. Especially coughing ghosts. In Lost Hearts there was talk of the 'psychic portions of the subjects being problematic, especially when able to command what we are pleased to call material objects', or words to that affect. Nevertheless, I could never buy into spirits being able to hold objects and hatchet you in the face. Either you're dead or you're not, son.
Despite risibility, Lawrence Gordon Clarke deserves to be acknowledged as one of the great directors of horror and suspense, like Hitchcock or Carpenter, depending on your point of view. One day I think he will be, because there are so many moments in his productions that anchor in your memory years after. This was one of the best.
