Synopsis

Phillip Goodman (Andy Nyman) is a very skeptical psychology professor who fights against all kinds of beliefs in the paranormal world, but that rationality will be put to the test when he receives a letter that seems sent from the real afterlife. His mentor Charles Cameron (Leonard Byrne), pioneer of parapsychology on television, who had been missing for fifteen years, writes to Phillip to meet again. Charles needs Phillip to find a rational explanation for three different stories he has not been able to solve. Thus, the former student will investigate these cases in which he will meet three haunted people, each with a more terrifying, mysterious and inexplicable story than the previous one.

What the critics say 10, from one review

10 The GuardianPeter Bradshaw A disturbing, atmospheric fable (...) Nyman and Dyson have created a weird world of menace, despair and decay. Read
The Hollywood ReporterStephen Dalton 'Ghost Stories' is a witty and well-crafted love letter to old-school horror tropes (...) There is much to savor here, however familiar the ingredients. Read
VarietyGuy Lodge A climactic rug-pull that worked grandly on stage is less satisfying on screen, leaving the film less a banquet than a platter of tasty appetizers. Read

Trivia

Based on a West End's play

It is based on the play by the co-director and co-screenwriter, Jeremy Dyson.
Scary Marketing

The title of the film was misspelled as 'Ghost Storeis' in much of the pre-release media. This was done to accord with the production's tagline "The brain sees what it wants to see".
Filmed in Halloween

The movie was filmed over the Halloween weekend of 2016 in Roundhay Park, Leeds (England).
