     A quickie chiller like this, running under an hour, assures that even if your interest wanes at least you don’t have long to wait for the finale. In the English village of Morgan’s Head the residents refuse to approach the local tin mines for fear of a legendary headless ghost. But it doesn’t take half a head to figure out that more is going on than meets the eye. Though extremely predictable and often poorly delivered, the time slides by and your hour could have been wasted by something much more unpleasant.
