 Doctor Who: Horror of Fang Rock - Chills with Classic Charm (3/5) 
  
 "The Horror of Fang Rock" isn't your typical Doctor Who adventure. 
 This atmospheric serial takes the Doctor (Tom Baker) to 1919, 
 a remote lighthouse haunted by a deadly entity.  Prepare for creepy whispers 
 and flickering lights! 
  
 The story is more psychological horror than sci-fi spectacle.  It delves 
 into 
 themes of isolation, grief, and the power of fear.  The cliffhangers 
 are genuinely suspenseful, and the lighthouse setting is brilliantly 
 utilised to create a sense of claustrophobia. 
  
 Pacing issues arise: The middle episodes drag a bit, and the resolution 
 might 
 feel rushed.  However, classic Who fans will appreciate the gothic horror 
 vibes and Tom Baker's captivating performance.  If you're looking for scares 
 with a healthy dose of 70s charm, this might be your cup of tea 
 (or lighthouse kerosene?).
