WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Professor Phillip Goodman (Nyman), a sceptic of the afterlife, has his beliefs tested when he is called upon to investigate three separate incidents of ghostly encounters, each one more confounding than the last. They include a night watchman in an old factory (Whitehouse), a teenager driver whose car breaks down (Lawther), and a businessman awaiting the birth of his child (Freeman)…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The hit West End play is adapted in just as terrifying a fashion for the big screen, with co-writer and original star Andy Nyman reprising his role as a professor faced with some extremely horrific examples of paranormal activity.
