Synopsis
Lonely, 14 years old and unfashionably overweight, Tess Hunter arrives with her mother to Century Falls, hoping to make new friends. But instead she finds the remote village hostile, threatening and completely devoid of children, save a pair of strange twins who are visiting their uncle. As the twins take Tess on a tour of the mysterious village, more and more question arise about Century Falls and its many dangerous secrets.

5.0 out of 5 stars A welcome return of a classic, 24 Jul 2006
By Brenig (Wales) - See all my reviews
A long-awaited return of this tense and dark drama by Russell T. Davies.
Tess Hunter, a lonely girl moves to a sinister village called Century Falls where she meets the strange twins Ben and Carey Naismith. The villagers are strange in that they share a psychic conscioussness, and are all linked by the shocking events of 40 years ago.
The plot unfurls beautifully, with some interesting twists and turns. The psychic / temporal concepts are a bit tricky to get your head round, but it comes together successfully.

I cannot believe I watched this aged 10, understood it and loved it. It is very dark and grown-up for a child, but it works. The creators are to be congratulated for choosing an ordianry looking cast, some of which are quite elderly actors (unusual for kids drama). They bring real class to this production.

Another reason this drama has dated so well is that it depends very little on special effects. The intensity is brought about by the lingering menace and uncertainty. The soundtrack is also spot-on, and matches the scenes perfectly.

Enjoy this DVD, and be grateful if you saw this series first time around in 1993; this is superb compared to the banal drivel that's served up as kids' drama today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Childhood memories..., 26 Jun 2006
By James R. Turner "jamesrturner" (Sheffield, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I remember when this was first broadcast that it was spooky, sinister and genuinely terrifying. It was only much later that I realised it came from the TV genius that is Russell T Davies, this was never repeated but I've got great memories of this being a cut above your normal kids drama, treating the viewer as an adult rather than a child, and I can't wait to receive the DVD to see if its as good as I remember it. I doubt I'll be disapointed..... and I'm not, it arrived yesterday and I thought I'd ration myself to an episode a night, in the end I watched it all!! Genuinely chilling, superbly produced & acted and one of the most intelligent drama's I have seen (for either adults or children) in a long time. And showing hints as to what would make Doctor Who so magnificent in Russell T Davies' capable hands.

1.0 out of 5 stars Century Falls, 20 Jul 2007
By David Marshall "davidm31" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I added this film to my rental list, because the reviews I had read said it was good.
Boy was I disappointed, this is a load of rubbish.
Awful acting, except for the character Esme who was pretty good
The story line is so farfetched and quite frankly I was bored with it.
