Ghost Stories is a British horror based on the award winning stage play. You may have seen The Woman In Black, Paranormal Activity, Winchester, The Enfield Haunting, The Passenger, Ashes To Ashes. Nice main theme. A film by Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson. Funny opening scene where you have the clairvoyant on stage. It is like a docudrama. The protagonist investigates the paranormal. There to debunk theories. Andy Nyman plays Prof Philip Goodman. Paul Whitehouse, Martin Freeman, Alex Lawther also star. Cert 15. Three cases are investigated. Great actors. Tony is a night watchman. Interesting if a little xenophobic. Played by Mr. Whitehouse. Good special effects. It is quite dark at Tony's workplace. I guess they did it to set the mood. Simon is part of Case 2. He is a teenage lad living at home. I see a nod to The Evil Dead. Not keen on the night time scenes as there isn't much to see. Mike is a farmer played by M Freeman. Shock, scares and a twist. I may look at trivia and discussions about the film. I always wonder how these plays work. It is a clever film.
