An excellent story with the right amount of atmosphere that creates one of the creepiest episodes of Torchwood. This story is one of my favourite Torchwood stories as I love something with a few scares. The music really adds to the effect, especially with the fairground music really sends shivers down your spine! The acting by Julian Bleach and Camilla Power (Ghostmaker and Pearl) are the main things that create the effect, Julian's creepy voice (he also played Davros in Journeys end) and Pearl, the way she doesn't talk much is quite scary, and the way she is happy about stealing someone's last breath is quite disturbing. The episode overall is just scary, but the acting from these two are the main factors. Also the directing and the locations they use also add to the effect, for example the swimming pool where they (no better word for it) hang out, was particularly creepy, the fact they choose a place once full of life and fun times now abandoned and dead kind of sums up these two characters. And also they are from a creepy circus which in itself a lot of people have a fear of because of clowns for example. Finally there is a good ending, with quite an intelligent way of sorting everything out, although it's a shame only one person survived. Overall, one of the more creepy episodes of Torchwood yet definitely worth watching.
