A documentary about what has become known as the most haunted house in England. This is articulated through a number of acted vignettes covering those who lived there and those who investigated the appearances.
This is a documentary of the Borley Rectory. Its advertised as a film so that people will watch it.
Ashley Thorpe's Borley Rectory: The Most Haunted House In England is a real labour of love, a dramatised documentary which mixes animation and live action footage to create a creepy ambience and a unique look. It is narrated in textbook fashion by non other than Julian Sands, and features an impressive score by Mick Grierson and Steven Severin (the former bass player in Siouxsie and the Banshees).
Since the 19th century there has been paranormal activity happening at an Essex rectory stemming back to the apparent ghost of a woman going back to the 17th century. In time the rectory becomes known as the most haunted house in Britain attracting paranormal investigators.
I guess the fascination will be most highly hearted by whom takes residential in England and if not more a close proximity to which events scenario. A curiosity of history and development of beliefs.
Absolute B Grade horror movie, nothing impressive.. very dull and meaningless movie...
This is a very interesting documentary on the story of the infamous Borley Rectory, and the psychic investigation by Harry Price. The visuals use all the tropes of Victorian gothic horror presented like a silent movie (so reflecting both the eras of the early haunting, and the investigation), and use real actors in an animated setting.
While interesting, the constant dust motes floating through the frames drove me nuts.
I've always been fascinated by hauntings etc, and saw this film, thought to myself why not try it out. The fact it was listed as "animated" sort of peaked my curiosity.
