Your life allows you the time to cross reference this shit?
It's not a question of life allowing it; life demands it.
Got this on DVD this week for 20p and my (admittedly old and well used) DVD has decided to be shit and mess up picture/dialogue.

It's a TV movie which only was shown twice on ITV and therefore has been difficult to get hold of. It's just about to get released on Blu-ray and DVD in the UK. I'm a huge fan, but I'm not sure how well it has dated, it's vastly superior to the remake with Harry Potter though-A more fitting candidate, and topical at that, might be the original Woman in Black. I was aware of the remake of a few years ago but I was under the impression it was based on a book. But just today I came across a Guardian article that made me realise the remake was based on an earlier film, and according to the article one that's considered by many as the most scary British film of all time.
I'm slightly ashamed I wasn't even aware of this film existence, but the article claims for whatever reason the original film all but disappeared from public consciousness shortly after its release in 1989. Apparently there are plans afoot to screen it again though.
The Woman In Black: why did Britain's scariest horror film disappear?
Herbert Wise’s 1989 TV gem wowed critics, inspired Oscar-winners and ruined Christmas for a generation. Then it was never seen again … until nowwww.theguardian.com
Has anyone here seen it? When even established directors cite it as one of their major influences, it seems astonishing it disappeared from the face of the Earth.
Saw that, thought it was a bore. The film I mentioned is about a man seen roaming aimlessly in Grand Central station with no ID who who claims to be a visiting alien, and is committed to a mental hospital.
Anything that isn't totally mainstream isn't known outside of the group of people who appreciate films, that's the nature of film and art in general, so any film that isn't a blockbuster would not have been seen by most people.
