The over-caffeinated and desensitized segment of genre fans might call it boring, while the veterans who remember effective minimalism will be squeezed by the twisted nerve leading to solid suspense.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 14, 2024

Ghost Stories is refreshingly old-fashioned in its embrace of classical horror techniques. Ultimately, Nyman and Dyson’s film is so full-bloodedly cinematic that it leaves one wondering how on earth they captured this on the stage.

It definitely molds itself some way completely different and gives a great, great payoff.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 9, 2021

British anthology horror film with an overarching story about a supernatural skeptic. Written and directed by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman, based on their play of the same name.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 28, 2021

Ghost Stories is a creepy slow-burn...

| Nov 6, 2020

Though stage plays are not customarily a good source of scary cinema, Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman's adaptation of their English theater piece provides a pretty decent 97 minutes of spookiness.

| Oct 16, 2020

Nyman and Dyson have put so much effort into crafting an intense, thrilling, mysterious story and it's seriously paid off.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 3, 2020

Ghost Stories has a satisfying meta quality to its construction. It's a film about exposing con men that's running a long con on its audience the whole time.

| Jul 24, 2020

When "Ghost Stories" is good, it's fantastic. But juxtaposed against the high points, the rest looks lackluster in comparison.

| Original Score: B | Jul 1, 2020

The stories within the main story are interesting but not all that scary unfortunately as they rely a lot on jump scares for their fear factor and these will be hit or miss depending on each viewer.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 12, 2020

[O]verall, this is a solid, creepy fright flick.

| Mar 20, 2020

A real layer cake, this horror lark from British 온라인카지노추천 guys Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman.

| Mar 5, 2020

Packing a whole bunch of horror into its brisk run-time, Ghost Stories is a hugely enjoyable film that's as entertaining as it is terrifying.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Oct 29, 2019

[D]amn if this film isn't gangbusters at conjuring up genuine, honest scares, and at giving each of us a lot to think about while the end credits roll.

| Oct 17, 2019

It's a tad too jump-scary to my taste, and none of the stories are mindblowing, but it is cleverly made and the film is obviously filled to the brim with love for the genre.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 17, 2019

As delightfully spooky as the anthology stories are, the framing story turns out to be the most chilling -- and the most affecting -- of the lot.

| Jul 24, 2019

Professor Philip Goodman is a self-satisfied 온라인카지노추천 debunker of all things "superstitious." But he's ripe for a rude awakening when tasked by a fellow non-believer to explain away three examples of the inexplicable.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 7, 2019

All three segments rely on jump scares and horror cliches, but this is a film that's fully aware and appreciative of these ... let's say classical tactics

| Jun 5, 2019

Sometimes betraying its stage roots, with an episodic structure, the same men who created it as a piece of theatre have done a good job of making this a more cinematic offering.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 14, 2019

An unnerving anthology that perfects the nuts and bolts of haunted storytelling, and yet also subverts expectations, offers enjoyable nods to horror greats gone by, and builds towards a big finale.
