Ghost Stories film review

On his TV show, Philip Goodman (Death at a Funeral’s Nyman) reveals the fakery of so-called psychics.

Then his long-lost mentor summons him to examine three cases that seem un-debunkable, including that of a businessman (Martin Freeman) haunted by his unborn child.

Based on their play, Nyman and co-writer/co-director Jeremy Dyson’s twisty treat has a nuanced tone that’s as hard to pin down as a poltergeist, and an ending that’s just as devilish.

Gavin Scott

After cutting his teeth on teen titles Smash Hits and TV Hits (remember them?) in the 2000s, Gavin moved into weekly magazines, working for TV Week for many years and continuing to contribute to that title to this day, and writing for Who, Woman’s Day, New Idea and OK over the past decade or so. He’s also worked for digital outlets, writing and editing for SBS, Pedestrian and Who.com.au, and has hosted and produced TV and music podcasts. Entertainment in all its forms has been Gavin’s focus, whether that be interviewing the latest eliminated contestant from Survivor; reviewing the newest films, TV series and albums; writing opinion pieces about streaming platforms and their offerings; or talking to Australian pop stars past and present about their musical journey. As a long-time freelancer, Gavin goes where the work takes him, with one hand on the remote and the other scrolling through his phone for entertainment updates.
