Well this was quite fun. It helps if you are already familiar with and like the "Ghost Stories For Christmas" that are broadcast in the UK although this is more camp. This is following in that tradition and suitably produces its own brew-like a collection of parts that do thankfully become mellifluous. Yes it's low buget and very stage-play like but still rather good.

Ok that was a very cute short film! I had no idea what to expect as the blurb and picture give practically nothing away, which is awesome. Shot in black and white, very dialogue heavy (I LOVED the dialogue though, very fun and appropriate-sounding to the period), and a very well-done love letter to the old English Christmas ghost stories, the type that inspired Dickens's A Christmas Carol. The reveal was great, pretty darn creepy, as was the ending. I look forward to the next one!

Artsy. Black and white. Low budget. Short on scares and effects. But still I liked it and look forward to the next episode.

Not bad. Has a low-budget feel, almost like a highschool production (I say this with no intention to slander it). Nice twist. Some of the acting could have been better and the lanterns that were clearly not flame but some sort of light, were a distraction.
