“Sredni Vashtar” by Saki (1940)
David Bradley creates a faithfully suspenseful adaptation of a story by Saki which boasts an inadvertent post-modern attitude.

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
It is sad to think that a movie made in 1940 is much better than one made in 2007. Unlike the travesty that was "Who killed Mrs De Ropp", this movie perfectly captures the essence of the story, especially in its most important moment. When Conradin eats his victory toast, he butters it with butter, rather than with jam like he had in the 2007 atrocity. This is truly the definitive Shredni Vashtar experience. I know now never to trust any movies made today, as they are full of inaccuracies, as the director cares more about getting a paycheck than what truly made the story so memorable, in this case, the butter. -Shredni Vashtar's son
