Wiki.
Whistle and I'll Come to You is a BBC television drama adaptation based on the 1904 ghost story "'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad'" by writer M. R. James. The story tells the tale of an introverted academic who happens upon a strange whistle while exploring a Knights Templar cemetery on the East Anglian coast. When blown, the whistle unleashes a supernatural force that terrorises its discoverer. It was screened on BBC Two during the 2010 Christmas television season. The film was written by Neil Cross and directed by Andy de Emmony, stars John Hurt in the lead role. This adaptation removes the whistle of the original James story but hints at Robert Burns' original Scottish folk song "Oh, whistle and I'll come to you, my lad", which Hurt's character recites at the beginning of the story to his wife and is played over the end credits.
