Definitely one to miss.

With such an interesting subject matter, this had the potential to be really good. Unfortunately it wasn't. In fact it was quite dreadful. From the opening music to the clumsy editing, wooden acting and stilted dialogue, the only redeeming feature seemed to be Toyah, hamming it up for all she was worth. Definitely one to avoid.

And interestiing telling of a real story

It isn't fair to judge this film as a genre ghost story, because it isn't. It's a retelling of real story from the 1920's and should be judged as such. As a based on a True Story tell it reasonably recreates the story as told in the papers of the time. There have been a number of films and TV plays retelling the story over the last few years and this is one of the better ones with good acting from Wilcox, Sands and Baker and some interesting photography and direction. So if you watching this in expectation of a 'The Conjuring' style story are going to be disappointed but if a story of another time when the people where recovering from the impacts of a mass casualty war with an attendant growth in belief in the supernatural then this will be of interest.

time you will never get back.

The production company behind this film is the very definition of quantity over quality. As of Oct 2021, the director has 10 films in pre-production, film or post, with 3 out in 2021, and there are only 2 months of 2021 left.

This is a bad film, badly written, badly directed and badly shot, very similar to all their other films which can been seen on streaming sites. Funny for all the wrong reasons.

Avoid, don't waste your time.

bearable

...if only for Toyah Wilcox. Honestly, terrible, slow-paced tale of a "scientist" trying to find evidence of ghosts. There are, it has to be said, some terrible acting performances, and if the stilted dialogue is representative of pre-war Britain, then I'm surprised we got anything done.

The Ghosts of Borley Rectory

With various assistants in tow, top ghost investigator Harry Price starts a 6 month stay in England's famously most haunted house where he faces a variety of supernatural goings on.

Intriguing given that there is some truth in this story and the rectory is famous in England for being so haunted. This focus on the investigation ranges from quite spookily effective with some decent jump scares to going over the top and heading into quite cheesy territory and indeed less is more is not something the film aims for. The acting varies considerably in quality but it's particularly nice to see Julian Sands in action who is about the best thing in it. Ok if you like ghost stories but manage your expectations.

Citazioni
Harry Price: What perplexes you, Mark?
Mark Kerr-Pearse: I'm really not too sure to be honest. I'm just grappling with my own recollection of events.
Harry Price: Well that's always the difficulty isn't it? It's why using a witness could be a difficult away to corrupt a raised event.
Mark Kerr-Pearse: How so?
Harry Price: Say you meet a friend at a train station. You haven't seen each other in some time. You drink together. You drink together, you talk, you laugh. You part company and then you decide to tell the next person you see what happened. Well you recount the event perfectly word-for-word, conversation-for-conversation but still, small details slip, mistakes are made. You were asked; "what did your friend wear?" and you think "was it a red tie or was it a blue tie?"
Mark Kerr-Pearse: Memory.
Harry Price: Memory. It's why note taking, photographic proof. These are all vital to piece together exactly what happened.
Mark Kerr-Pearse: Because memory can be fallible
Harry Price: Exactly. At least that's what I recall.
