journalist asylum based on play or musical anthology flashback apparition

Plot summary

Professor Philip Goodman devotes his life to exposing phony psychics and fraudulent supernatural shenanigans. His skepticism soon gets put to the test when he receives news of three chilling and inexplicable cases -- disturbing visions in an abandoned asylum, a car accident deep in the woods and the spirit of an unborn child. Even scarier -- each of the macabre stories seems to have a sinister connection to the professor's own life.

66% great

I loved this movie up until the last, oh, maybe 15 minutes or so.The film is an extremely interesting series of ghostly investigations that force a haughty paranormal skeptic to question his life's work. Its premise is executed perfectly, and sent chills down my spine so many times (the security guard). The special effects are mostly unreliant on CGI, and that use of what's real makes the viewer feel the fear of the characters. I was able to put myself in the characters' shoes many times, experiencing their fear.Martin Freeman gives a unique, and wonderful, performance in here. That's always to be expected out of him. He could turn dirt scripts into gold. This script was already well written though. Andy Nyman is pretty good, never seen him before this one, and I was impressed. He's good at being full of himself.The ending is what severely weakened this. Can't believe someone would try something that's been done so many times, and went out of style back in like 2001. The ending makes sense, yes, but like... we've seen that 87 times before man. Imagine if a writer tried to use the same twist from Sixth Sense in today's age. You just can't. Overall, still a really enjoyable movie despite this flaw, and a good addition to your list of worth-watching scary movies.

One for horror movie enthusiasts

As long as you immerse yourself in the film and don't try to critique it in that annoying "why did they go out and search" sort of way, then you will enjoy it. There are jump scares and it is a good British horror film. I enjoyed it, i felt entertained but then I like to broaden my horror movie horizons and don't rely on cgi or a new 'twist' to entertain me. So, give it a go...don't listen to the millennials who don't know the 'traditional' horror film or this that want a quick resolution. It is what it is: a good British horror.
