Incredibly frustrating to watch.
I wanted to like it!
I REALLY did want to like it, I love a good ghost movie and doccos are one of my favourite genre, but this film, sigh. I LOVE the fact that it was shot in real life, on location in the UK, a gorgeous country and one steeped in SO much history. I loved the fact we got to see some local haunts and amazing places, but what I DIDN'T LIKE was IAN. He was just plain MEAN. Barry is a believer and wants to prove to Ian that ghosts can and do exist, Ian, is the staunch skeptic. BOTH views are totally fine, BUT the fact that Ian keeps belittling Barry, and treating him like a schoolyard bully would made me angry towards the end of the film. There was one part where Barry feels that he saw an apparition, and is absolutely terrified, even moved to tears. Ian at least treated him with kindness then and some compassion, but for the rest of the film he was simply treating him like an idiot. The film was watchable, and a nice change from the usual "ghost hunter" type of stuff, but would I watch it again, not at all. SIMPLY because I don't wish to see Ian treating Barry like garbage again.
