And a wildly creative imagination like a talented writer. Well written script.
Michael Sheen is great. I love how he pulls off "nervous exhaustion". Very clever even if it was a tad predictable :)
How much emotion Michael Sheen portrays in his eyes is... sublime!
This was very good, and the young actress who plays the niece is wonderful!

This was pretty weird... But I'll watch anything with Michael Sheen in it.

Michael Sheen.
I watched this some time ago, when it was first posted I believe, and I loved it back then. Greatly enough, I find it even better this time around.
I LOVE MICHAEL SHEEN!!!!!!!
Romance at short notice was her speciality...

I figured something was up after she said "They never came back," and then went on to describe how they died, even though there was never a single body returned.
Anything with Michael Sheen is true awesomeness! This is really neat. Well done
This is a great reconstruction of the poem into movie form! This so accurately pertains to the poem. Good job!!
Look at that...Puts the tea down carefully before he bails, a true gentleman.
The look on his face when he saw them coming through the window was so funny
Outstanding! Wonderful attention to detail! A terrific period piece! Well done!
this adaptation of the Saki tale is gorgeous!
That was beautiful, well done!
loved the short story. love this as well.
This was absolutely fantastic! Well done!
That was absolutely brilliant and sharp.
It's one of the best I've seen recently, the atmosphere is created perfectly. And even though the little one is a liar you have to like her, she's so cute. And her stories are extraordinary.
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing this really engaging film
wonderful short video! i've already watched it 3 times and have enjoyed it the same each time. thanks for making such great movies and keep up the fantastic work. this one is my favorite one so far. thanks again!
Truly beautiful and witty short. I have found a certain fondness for this one.
My English Teacher is letting the class watch this! i think its cool!

Excellently done. Couldn't be better. Thanks.
Great Adaptation! Love it.
" Romance at short notice was her specialty " And from that point i did understand the whole story 😃😃
Great story, excellent acting and directing!
I read the story when i was really young. This is exactly how I pictured it. Great job!
I wasn't expecting that. Simple brilliant premise. Charlotte Ritchie is the actor who plays Vera. Her IMDB profile indicates she was in a Harry Potter film as an uncredited student. Her most prominent role to-date is Barbara in "Call The Midwife."

Thank you for watching.
I remember this story from an Alfred Hitchcock record of spooky stories I had as a kid. Funny that I randomly ran into this. I didn't know what it was at first, but as the film moved along it became more and more familiar, till I remembered it completely. Nice to run into a story from my childhood!
That girl grew up to be one of the great writers of modern england
Wonderful short! Totally caught me!
OHHH Ok now i get it, So when the little girl found out that mr nuttle knew practically nothing about ther aunt she made up a story, to horrify him and then she made up another story about my nuttle at the end

That was so fantastic! For those of you who are unfamiliar with Saki (H. H. Munro), you must read this story The Open Window and also read Sredni Vashtar and The Unrest Cure. Maybe even Esme. I did a research paper on him and he almost instantly became on of my favorite writers. Dark like Poe with a touch of satire and humor.
The actress playing vera's role is so talented!!
I love this,the characters are just as I imagined them to be :)
this is hilarious. well done charlotte ritchie. 14 at the time and now part of a singing group all angels.

And now, 11 years after this comment, a pretty successful TV actress, starring in Fresh Meat, Feel Good, Ghosts, Siblings, Call the Midwest AND Dead Pixels. Wow, what a career. :) And let's not forget her being in the 11th series of Taskmaster.

I read this short story when i was at school, pretty awesome!
Truly fascinating video! One is held spellbound.A must watch !
Most of my classmates don't like Vera but I think she is great because of her creativity. She may be a successful writer or actor
One of my all-time favorite short stories, just brilliant!
It was brilliant 😀 I had this written story in my english literature book if class 8 i love this story from that time and when i heard that the short film has been released so jumped directly to youtube and watch this awesome and marvellous film
This is one of my fav stories by saki
I have just read the Open Window and this was an excellent adaptation; As authentic as it could possibly get really.
I remember reading this in my Senior English class. I love Saki!
I have no idea how I got here. But I have no regrets
She one bad biatch. No seriously now, the acting is really great! Loved watching this one!
At that time there were no iphones or internet. That would have been a perfect way to pass the time XD Loved this story.
i love your videos, you are brilliant! ^^
My favorite Saki story. Moral: Don't believe everything you hear!
wow really clever from a little girl.. i mean she has an extraordinary way of inventing such amazing stories .i would like to spend a night talking with her like girl to girl you know ^^i am pretty sure that she has so many scary stories to tell ...that girl inspires me ^^
I had to do a paper on this story and the teacher mentioned this film, Amazing work!
Hats off to the composer!... and the director too of course.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm always on the lookout for a good Sheen movie :)
Great! Excellent! Good setting and great acting. :)
i'm a new fan of michael sheen, really i only just discovered him from good omens and in looking into his catalog of work realizing he's been in a ton of movies and shows. it's so interesting looking into his past works, he's really great

Baby Michael Sheen! Brilliant actor!
I've read this story in high school, I never knew there was a short film about this story...
That was an awesome short, I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work, I will be subscribing.
Me too!!! i recommend Fantabulosa! its his portraition of Kenneth Williams and well.. later on it gets pretty fucking nice for every Sheen fan!
Wow... Great everything is superb. If Saki watches it, he would praise for it.
Now that was one Nervous Nelly. And one devious child.

I know this comment is nine years old, but are you familiar with the stuff she's been doing recently.
Saki forever!!
He is exactly how I pictured things in the story!
Perfect. I loved it.
Great story.
Holy Shizzle!!! I had to read the open window so I could get into enriched english!!! As soon as she said 'you'll have to put up with me' I was all '0_o'!! Amazing work by the way.
Oh loved that story! That’s exactly how I imagined it when reading
I had read it. This is excellent !!!
i read the open window in english class in 8th grade, i completely forgot it... until i stumbled upon this brilliant piece

At the beginning you can FEEL the awkward between the two. What an ingenious little girl xD
