Fans of suspenseful, slow-burn supernatural horror will be captivated by director Luke Watson's 2005 film 'A View from a Hill', which blends Gothic chills with a thoughtful exploration of the power of the past to haunt the present. The haunting, unsettling performance of lead actor Mark Letheren anchors this atmospheric tale of a man whose use of a pair of seemingly bewitched binoculars leads him to a sinister encounter on Gallow's Hill.
