The Reformation of St. Jules

The Reformation of St. Jules

1949 · 13 min · ★ 6.3 · Horror

Author Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) casually narrates his uncanny 1937 tale. 'Audible skywriting' and its unintended consequences are the unlikely subject, effectively undercut by a surprise ending. The camera angles are eccentric, but it's a rare opportunity to see Blackwood onscreen.

Directed by Anthony Gilkison · Written by Algernon Blackwood
