It's been a while since attacking the Halloween watchpile, and this one has been on my mind for some time.
Every 31st of October this would be on Channel 5, and every 31st of October me and my mum would sit down and watch it before trick or treating. It feels bizarre having this film end and absolutely no intention of doing trick or treating. Utterly surreal. Not just because it isn't Halloween night, but because if I tried doing that at my age I'd have the police called on me.
A touching, sweet little ghost film even watching it now. I'm not sure why I like it so much. It's a sombre little thing with a big heart and…
I do love this film. The acting ranges from amazing to a bit cringe at times depending on who's on screen. The low budget it also apparent but it never matters. What an insanely touching little Christmas ghost film (which I associate with Halloween). It never fails to leave a lump in my throat.
