It's the kind of episode I think could have been really fun if they leaned into the premise a little more.  I like the idea of a spooky story featuring old-timey film stuff.  Yet I really struggle to get any sort of impression out of From Out of the Rain whatsoever.  It's just kind of bland and boring.  Not obnoxiously bad like some of the worst of Torchwood, but not terribly moving or meaningful either.  It feels like a bit of a waste of time, really.
