Ghostwatch
Directed by Lesley Manning
A TV reporter investigates a haunted house in this classic British “documentary”, which was originally broadcast in the UK on Halloween in 1992. As experts in the BBC studio discuss supernatural phenomena, reporter Sarah Greene waits patiently for proof of a poltergeist named Pipes, whose bad behavior grows bolder throughout the evening. GHOSTWATCH freaked out gullible viewers across the UK (no warning indicated the special was scripted), leading to controversy, lawsuits and a devoted cult following who continue to search the doc for hidden glimpses of the ghoul.

I am genuinely befuddled by all of the positive reviews. I feel like I watched a different movie than everyone else. Someone said “what Late Night With the Devil wished it could be”. Late Night With the Devil is in a different strata. . This movie is an absolute snooze fest from beginning to end. A whole lot of nothing happens from beginning to end. Hopefully others will heed this review and not get fooled by all the positive reviews like I did. I’d rate 0 skills if I could.
THIS IS ART. I'M IN LOVE.
New favourite of mine. Scary, well-done set up, great Live feel, wonderfully pulled off.
Loved everything
Required viewing for anyone that grew up in the age of live television broadcasts when everyone was watching the same thing at the same time and it was all anyone talked about the next day. The definition of a slow burn thrill ride that builds tension slowly and pays off big rewards at the end.
