Yet another UK short featuring a newlywed couple looking for a house, and finding one that seems far too cheap! In this case it's the idyllic 'Orchard Cottage'. As they're about to enter the property with the keys supplied by the estate agent, the door is opened from inside by a woman who explains that she comes by now and then to check on the place. She agrees to show them around, and when the couple wonder why such a lovely place is going for such a low price, the woman answers that it may be because of the ghost! She then tells them the story, and of the phenomena witnessed by the last couple who tried to stay there.
Directed by Vernon Sewell (The Ghosts of Berkeley Square, Ghost Ship, The Blood Beast Terror), this one again is more supernatural mystery than horror movie. Nanette Newman, Peter Dyneley (famously the voice of the "5...4...3...2...1" countdown at the start of the Thunderbirds TV show), and Colin Gordon star. Due to its running time (56 minutes), in the US this supporting feature was shown as an episode of the TV series Kraft Mystery Theatre. Generally more 'interesting' than 'chilling', this does have its moments and is worth a watch. 6/10.
