	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"[It] unfolds at a steady, confident pace, with the director, Leonora Lonsdale, as surefooted as her writer, parcelling out twists and treats and fine performances as it goes (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Morgan Jeffery Radio Times	"[It has] style to spare (...) This whodunnit with trappings of British folk horror is spellbinding (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Anita Singh Telegraph	"A stylish thriller in its own right (...) The unsettling atmosphere carried more than a whiff of 'Rosemary’s Baby' and 'The Wicker Man' (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ed Cumming The Independent	"This is the fifth of Phelps’s Christie adaptations (...) 'A Pale Horse' is as polished as the other pieces, showing a folksy horror beneath elegant surfaces, but the energy no longer feels fresh (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Louisa Mellor Den of Geek	"[It] shows all the confidence of a screenwriter in what must be considered her imperial phase (...) It’s a larger-than-life drama this one, weird but good-weird with a taste for the lurid and unsettling"	POS
United Kingdom	Boyd Hilton Empire	"A twisted, thoroughly enthralling take on a classic Agatha Christie mystery (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
