elliotte2 The movie is a slow build, enticing the viewer on what will happen next. Acting, screenplay and pace all works well. And just as you are waiting for the payoff, the last 20 minutes goes completely downhill. It is okay to have a twist, but if the twist leaves you feeling empty, then it has lost it effect. I do not do spoilers, but read the other comments first(believe me, they are true) before watching this.Positive note: Martin Freeman can really steal a scene.

kieronclarke-31045 Not sure how well this worked on stage but it was absolute crap on film. A waste of some good acting talent the director /actor should go and watch some more films, or go back to film school or just quit and get a job at Mcdonalds. Completely without suspense and the ending was s***e.

thomasjay-52277 British horror 'Ghost stories' was a genuine surprise to see, not a massive horror fan personally those elements of the film grabbed me being extremely tense and unexpected often hard to watch we follow a denouncer of the abnormal on an investigation three seemingly exceptional cases of hauntings and creatures told convincingly by the supporting cast who's ordeals are extremely detailed. As the plot progresses and actions unfold and consequences are revealed the final twist truly came from nowhere and upon reflection is extremely well crafted. A fantastic debut feature

MitzenWarriorChiefChief Clever, but not overly clever. Not so clever that you want to punch the writer(s) in the face. I was very surprised and satisfied with the ending of the film, and thoroughly enjoyed the path the storytellers took the viewers on to reach the conclusion. I watched it multiple times after renting in order to locate the delicious little hints that pointed to what was actually going on in the film. My first viewing was obviously the most satisfying: sitting alone in my lil' house in the woods, late at night, with all the lights off. The silence and darkness of my surroundings definitely added to the overall experience. I also really enjoyed the subsequent viewings, which helped me understand reasons behind certain shots, bits of dialogue, etc. And it was still scary the second and third times around! I thought each paranormal case presented in the film was uniquely frightening. The filmmakers made effective use out of many different types of scares. It isn't overly gory, which I appreciate because I am not really into blood and guts. There was a lot of suspense and eerie sounds, which I love. And some spooky critters, which I also love. The lighting (or darkness, I guess) in the first scenario was really unsettling. And then...the soul horror. Lawd have mercy. Thought Martin Freeman stole the show, but then he usually does. Really enjoyed the 3 or so minutes with Kobna Holdbrook-Smith as the priest. His dialogue was beautifully written and performed. Alex Lawther is always creepy. He could do a sweet-as-sugar romcom with Emma Watson and he would still freak me out. Love the cover art/film poster/whatever you call it as well. All in all, I found it really enjoyable. Classically spooky with modern twists. Good times.
