Charmingly British in a way that most films set in the countryside in the 50s tend to be, what with the costumes and the locations easily reflecting a different time entirely, and the young Samuel Irons is fantastic as the titular character in his first, and only Silver screen appearance. The relationship that is depicted between father and son is a beautiful site to watch, heightened by the fact that they were portrayed by an actual father and son. I can understand how a young cold would find entertainment in this film. The sense of danger and horror jeopardy the characters find themselves in is adequate for a family friendly film.
