Review of The Ghosts of Borley Rectory

Sometimes a movie is so bad it's good, but not in this case. It was within the first 15 mins I was hoping it would get better but no. Absolutely awful acting from the entire cast and even the delightful Julian Sands who was wonderfully wicked in Warlock, could not raise this turkey from the dead. In fact he looked and sounded as if he was mortally ashamed of being in this movie. The actor from The Bill was totally miscast and he knew it. Toyah has proven once again she is no actress. One of the 'assistants' had the most god awful accent, trying to sound like a public schoolboys from the 1930's but to be honest was still better than the girl assistant and the dark haired bloke. I know by my partner's 'nods off' how bad a movie is and within the first half an hour we had three sessions of sleep, which is at the top end of the scale. I watched for longer just to confirm if it got better. It didn't. I would have given zero stars if I could. Funniest part of the movie (and I'm sure it was supposed to scary not funny) was the spirit's Hand when the fingers were wiggling for ages in the direction of the sandwich. I've seen kids messing about making better movies than this. One to avoid.
