A lonely guest at an isolated health resort grows increasingly disturbed under the care of the oddly behaved sibling owners.
Weird tale that creates creepy atmosphere and plays out with no sense of needing to explain itself. The dialogue is over formal - with one error of grammar that took me out of it - and more distracting than effective.
Still, the parts are well played. Pace is just right, music effective, and there's a lovely shot of the three walking the river bank hand in hand.
I think you see quite a bit of this from Brit TV of the late '60s and '70s - the country house as the scene of middle class nightmares. This one has a homosexual undertone, with the image of the trumpet flowers on the window being "in your face" - so take it in a Freudian sense, if you like.
