The Devil of Christmas

Pemberton and Shearsmith are always willing to try something different, and they never fail to give us something surreal and dark, Inside No.9 is always entertaining, generally very good, sometimes outstanding, It's a series that always tries to be different, and in The Devil of Christmas it doesn't come more different then this. Filmed in a truly remarkable way, it looks as if it were actually produced in the 1970's the filming, camera work, even the acting is reminiscent of Tales of the Unexpected, or one of MR James's 'A Ghost Story for Christmas.' Even the music is uncannily apt. They actually used equipment from the time.

Very well acted, everyone performs as if they were in one of the previously mentioned series. I enjoyed the visuals so much that I almost didn't care about the story, interesting, and the commentary aspect seems fresh and unusual.

Naturally there's a twist, and a very dark ending as would be expected.
