The Haunting of Borley Rectory (2019)
The story of Borley Rectory, which is said to be the most
haunted building in the world before it was mysteriously destroyed by fire just
before WWII.
But eight months before the fire a university paranormal
research crew stayed at the rectory. This is the story of their six month search
for proof of the supernatural.
First off I have to remind you that this is a hardcore
British film production. Most of the actors in the cast are heavy duty theatre
actors with that bland theatre actors style of acting. This film was done on a
shoestring budget so the camera work and lighting reflects this. Also this film
is horribly serious and not really scary. The main ghost, a rotton faced nun,
just stands around and does nothing.
With all this said, I have to tell you that I less
you’re spent at least a decade of being cultured
in real British films you will be bored to death and will wonder why you
didn’t shut the movie down after fifteen
minutes. Thus, I cannot recommend this film, even though I thought it was ok.
But that is just little old me. If you want to test yourself I suggest you fill
a punchbowl with whiskey punch, have lots of edibles, and have an extra large Cheech
and Chong doobie, then you might, and I do mean might, get through...
