"Whistle, and I'll Come to You" Film

Youtube's presently holding quite a nice lineup of M.R. James film adaptations. One of these is a handsome version of the classic story "Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad." This ghost tale is widely considered one of M.R. James' finest efforts, and the movie version featured here with Michael Horden does the old Etonian scholar-writer justice. This movie, as well as other James adaptations, are probably well known to British visitors. However, seeing it may be a first for many American admirers of weird horror, as James is (regrettably) less familiar in the States.
