A real disappointment. It makes sense Kemblefordians would fear science-based horrors like radiation or aliens. But that there was "village-wide hysteria" over things that had obvious rational explanations...nope. (And that village is looking smaller than ever--one would swear there were only 15 people in town now. If the citizens were terrified of neuron bombs, well that would be more understandable than fearing vampires.🤣🤣) It would have helped if some of these events weren't easily explainable. (Like in The Invisible Man, where Welkin vanishes into thin air.) You need that kind of supernatural ambiguity to really make this material work. As a study of guilt and regret, it was pretty good--but was sunk by way too much illogic.

The casting was strong. Nice atmospheric direction. And FB and Goodfellow make a great team. But once again, we get Devine acting _incredibly_ stupid (um, why would you buy garlic to cook with if you have no idea how fresh it is? And the mirror business--please. And if she nursed her husband, she should know that aversion to sunlight has a fair amount of medical explanations--lack of Vitamin D being one of them.🙄🙄) And Sullivan again laying into Goodfellow for no really good reason--it's high time Goodfellow drew a line in the sand over Sullivan getting on his case when he's in a rotten mood. (Hey, we've never seen Sullivan working more than one case at a time, so...)

All in all, not nearly as good as it should have been for the ongoing, obvious reasons--weak scripting and lousy characterization.
