VOICE FROM THE STONE

Literal of title and stately of pace, debut director (and former stuntman) Eric D. Howell’s soft-focus ghost story is set in tourist boardfriendly 1950s Tuscany. Emilia Clarke stars as a nurse sent to a mistshrouded palazzo to help grieving widower Klaus (Marton Csokas) and his mute son Jakob (Edward George Dring), who hears – you guessed it – voices from the stone (wall). It’s undeniably handsome, but the film’s complete lack of jeopardy risks boring the bum off most horror fans. Matt Glasby
