Sir Richard learns of his Uncle's death, and having been left his estate, he returns from Italy to take over, he is instantly distracted by strange goings on, disturbing sounds from a nearby Ash tree haunt him.
True to form, there is one incredibly creepy scene, but you have to wait for it, as it comes in the final few minutes, until then it's more of an unsettling psychological thriller, I'm not saying it's bad, far from it, The Ash Tree is one of my favourite entries.
In terms of atmosphere it packs a real punch, it's just over thirty minutes long, it passes by very quickly, the tension builds in a very measured manner, the ending however delivers.
I enjoyed each of the performances, Edward Petherbridge and Preston Lockwood are both very good, personally I loved Lalla Ward and the excellent Barbara Ewing.
It's intensely creepy and disturbing, The Ash Tree delivers.
8/10.
