Ghost Stories is a 2017 British horror film directed by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman, who also co-wrote the screenplay. The movie is an adaptation of their successful stage play of the same name.
The story follows Professor Goodman (played by Andy Nyman), a skeptic who has dedicated his life to debunking supernatural phenomena. However, he receives a file from his mentor, Charles Cameron, who disappeared years earlier, containing three unsolved cases of paranormal encounters. Goodman sets out to investigate these cases, hoping to find rational explanations for each one.
As Goodman delves deeper into the cases, he begins to experience strange and terrifying events himself. The movie weaves together the three stories into a central narrative, with each one offering a different take on horror tropes such as haunted houses, poltergeists, and demonic possessions.
The film is praised for its atmospheric and suspenseful storytelling, as well as its unexpected twists and turns. It features strong performances from its cast, which includes Martin Freeman, Paul Whitehouse, and Alex Lawther. The movie has been described as a love letter to classic horror films, while also offering a fresh and original take on the genre.
