Just watched it on your recommendation, and was also delighted to see Mary Morris as a young woman (I mostly know her from the classic Dr. Who story 'Kinda,' and from Ray Bradbury Theatre's 'There Was an Old Woman,' in which she faces off against Ronald Lacey as a non-speaking, always-smiling angel of death, and it's incredibly wonderful). Even with forty years' difference, there's no mistaking those uncanny, wide-set eyes.
Other scattered reactions:
I’d alway heard “borogroves”was a typo for “borogoves”in the US edition of Through the Looking-Glass, but Howard says “borogroves”in this movie. May need to recheck.
You described this movie as numinous, and I was wondering about that, but Howard's speech in the final scene was indeed exactly that -- also the way he was lit (and shadowed) throughout, but especially in that scene, makes me want a timeline in which he played Agatha Christie’s Mr. Harley Quinn.
