Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

bks-508-290401 With all the adverts about The Enfield Poltergeist recently, it brought back memories of Ghostwatch. I'd have been around 17 then, had already seen my fair share of horrors, and was pretty desensitised. Until I saw Ghost Watch. Apart from a bit of hammy acting from one or two cast members, everyone did a brilliant job, and I seriously thought this was or could've been real. ***Spoilers below***Throughout the show, the viewer is treated to little teasers here and there, "Was that Pipes by the curtain, or just my imagination?", and things of this nature. When the crew member faints after seeing the ghost behind the door, and you see a glimpse of it yourself, I swear I almost filled my trunks. But the scariest parts for me were when the girl started talking in that weird voice, and when Parkie was wandering around the studio supposedly possessed. It was at that point when I realised it couldn't be real, but this show messed with my head so much, to this day, I don't know if I could watch it again without being terrified. I watched a couple of documentaries the other day about the Enfield case, and after watching Janet doing that creepy voice, it brought those images flooding back and my skin went cold and prickly. I'm not sure today's generation would appreciate Ghost Watch, but back then, there were a lot of frightened viewers and quite a number of complaints about the content.

victoryismineblast Very spooky British found footage shot as a television special that apparently caused quite an uproar on Halloween night when it aired, as a portion of the viewers thought it was the real deal. This one follows two on the scene reporters investigating the goings on in an around a supposed haunted house, while in the studio the host takes calls and interviews the occupants of the house, as well as some paranormal experts.I don't want to give anything away so I will stop here. This being a horror movie things obviously escalate and get out of hand. I found that this film moves at an excellent pace and builds tension and suspense nicely. Parts of it I found genuinely frightening.It is also nice to see Craig Charles here. I love him in Red Dwarf, and being Canadian don't have the chance to see him in much else. The acting is top notch, especially by the mother and 2 little girls.All in all a fun watch for fans of the supernatural.

Lee Gate I was 12 years old, just happened to be at home watching TV on Haloween of 1992, Ghostwatch came on and looked interesting so I continued to watch it, thinking it was an interesting bit of fun with maybe the chance of something happening in the most haunted house in England! Then half way through the reality TV show started to turn into a truly scary experience, with things going wrong and the fact the viewer believed it was recorded live (which was later revealed was not) made it an experience that will most likely never be achieved again! There is a part where viewers rang the show live from their homes and reported all kinds of scary things happening, for example their dogs wont stop barking and a Glass table shattering after being touched etc, this all added to the realism and also made all the viewers paranoid that something was going to happen in their own home! (I was one of them) This show was the most scary thing ever created by any production company in the world, and I understand why it was banned for 10 years (due to a couple of people committing suicide for believing it was real apparently) when I watch it now it seems clear that the children were acting, but at the time it was not so obvious! If you plan on letting your children watch this be careful, because they will get scared and may not sleep for a few nights! A real masterpiece!

hermionegranger1979 I was 12 when Ghostwatch was shown on Holloween on BBC1! I remember sitting on the sofa with my Brother and Mam, my Dad went out before the show had began. We were pulled into the story and got scared to death by Pipes and the story of the Early family, this was years before Most Haunted hit the screens! You could spot Pipes, you could hear the stories and watch as the team falls apart! I totally believed Sarah Greene was taken by Pipes and that Parky was taken over by Pipes too, GREAT TV! Little did we know that it was due to be banned and never shown again, until the ban ran out and it was released on DVD/Video, which I had for Xmas 3 years ago! Even now I cant watch it alone or with the lights off.....the power of being 12 back then and Pipes coming to get me still shakes me up! For me Ghostwatch is pure great British TV! Sure it might be dated and some people might call it boring...but to this 26 years old...sleepiness nights happen after I watch this show 14 years later!
