Now this sounds promising https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/oct/05/ghost-stories-review-martin- freeman-paul-whitehouse-london-film-festival-2017
even though I'm sick to the fucking teeth of Martin Freeman
Caught this one at the cinema last night.that
A University Professor, who has dedicated his life to debunking claims
of the paranormal, is tasked with investigating 3 mysterious cases
have baffled other experts.lad
The first, a night watchmen at an old asylum which is currently being redeveloped, encounters something creepy in the cells below. A young
out joyriding in his parents car runs over something that isnt exactlya
goat, and a middle aged buisinessman encounters something creepy inthe
nursery whilst his wife is in hospital with their first child.3
Based on a stage play by Andy Nyman (who plays the lead character) and
Jeremy Dyson (of League of Gentlemen infamy), this wasn't bad. But the
stories don't seem to really go anywhere. Though there was a twistwhich
explains what's really going on right at the end (which I won'tspoil).
The film is kept entertaining by a streak of jet black humour thatruns
throughout and it was amusing to see Paul Whitehouse essentiallyplaying
his pub geezer character from the Fast Show. League of Gentlemen fansspecial,
will probably enjoy it, but it might have played better as a TV
rather than a movie.
Worth a watch.
