Ghost Stories is a witty and well-crafted love letter to old school horror tropes.
-The Hollywood Reporter
If you have fond memories of the horror/ terror films from the UK in the 1960s, then this film will work a treat for you. Internationally renowned actor Martin Freeman plays a victim of a ghostly visitation. He is visited by a television Professor who is famously sceptical of ghosts and apparitions, who has been given the opportunity to investigate three mysterious situations, when he finds some files with unexplained events. As each one progresses, his firm beliefs are challenged with his journey into the unknown, until…. Based on the world-wide success of the stage show, the film plays with our emotions, providing us with some amazing sequences and many twists. There are some unexpected shock sequences, so hold on to something comforting to ensure you don’t get swept away by the forces that are difficult to understand, let alone explain.
