Film Description

John Harrington runs across the fields, almost blind with terror. His dog, left behind, whimpering and cowering with fear, can only watch as the creature closes in on his master. Harrington runs for his life but instinct tells him that the creature is closing in and he trips, stumbles and falls. When they find him, grown men recoil in horror when they discover that something has broken almost every bone in his body...

Casting the Runes is a masterful reworking of a classic gothic story by MR James adapted by BAFTA-nominated playwright Clive Exton (Poirot, Rosemary and Thyme) and directed by long-time adapter of James’ most unsettling stories – Lawrence Gordon Clark.

Featuring an unsettling performance from Iain Cuthbertson (Danger UXB) as the malevolent Karswell, and strong central performances from both Edward Petherbridge (The Brief) and Jan Francis (Bad Girls), this title is a must-have for all fans of suspense and horror.

Part of the ITV Playhouse Series, this one–off drama is released on DVD for the first time.
