The Spiritualist

Possibly the worst movie I've seen. It makes more sense to view as comedic attempt at acting. Otherwise don't waste your time.

Please read this review before committing your valuable time to this failure of a movie. The only conclusion I can draw is the positive reviews (some of which are absolutely *glowinug*) are "canned" reviews by people in the movie. My wife and I sat down to watch this, with fairly high hopes, and as time passed......and we watched our lives cut shorter and shorter with each passing second wasted on this dog of a movie, we became very frustrated. There isn't even a cogent story line to follow. What's it about? Shouldn't you have a general idea within the first 20 minutes of the movie? But you don't. The scenery is interesting. It was shot in an old house. If you need to see pics of an old house, go to Pinterest and search for Old House. 5 minutes and you are done. But as for the movie, it's a turd.

The story was good. It has potential. The acting just so bad. The only one I give any props to is Caroline Burns Cooke, the spiritualist.

The sound was so bad at times I couldn't hear the dialog. Then it was so loud it was over whelming. The set was gorgeous. The estate was beautiful.

With friends like that, who needs enemies. I'm talking of Laura's so called friends that appear during a seance. She doesn't know any of them but that's why the film fails. None of the characters are likeable. The story makes no sense and it jumps a lot. The best thing about it was the beautiful castle it was filmed in. The only reason I watched it was to see a ghost, but instead it was full of sounds of people gulping. All I can say is in one word: yawn.

I came across this film on Youtube and seemed to have a decent story to it, after twenty minutes I kept saying it will get better...it never did. It seems to pick up and then go downhill a lot, the acting is not the greatest, some bits go slow and others parts go on too long, the twist at the end was not well executed properly, Having Julie Wallace and Ian Reddington star in it that caught my attention, there acting talents are wasted in this.
