Professor Phillip Goodman devotes his life to exposing phony psychics and fraudulent supernatural shenanigans. His skepticism soon gets put to the test when he receives news of three chilling and inexplicable cases -- disturbing visions in an abandoned asylum, a car accident deep in the woods and the spirit of an unborn child. Even scarier -- each of the macabre stories seems to have a sinister connection to the professor's own life.

Spoilers ahead but quick review. First hour was good eerie and unknown to how and what was going to happen. Martin Freeman committing suicide was a highlight didn't see it coming until about 5 seconds before he did it. That was the peak to the film as I thought as it went on I was disappointed with the outcome. Good twist even though it had the opportunity to keep you gripped and scared until the end of the film. Had the feel of John carpenter's in the mouth of madness although leaving the theatre after watching that made you feel uncomftable and a bit freaked out, and this just bit disappointed

Build up a movie, stop it, throw it away and finish it as a completely different movie. Are you interested in the plot? Bad for you. Do you have any questions? Sorry, no answers.

Phillip Goodman is a skeptic debunking the supernatural. His inspiration is leading skeptic Charles Cameron who spent his life outing fakes and mysteriously disappeared. Phillip is surprised to receive a note from him. Upon their meeting, Charles had been completely converted and wants Phillip to investigate some real cases.Honestly, the cases bored me. The start is fine but this doesn't come alive until the last half hour. It gets surreal and I'm interested. It's a little too late. I do wonder if a totally surreal movie would be better. The final reveal has no bite since I never actually cared about Phillip. There're some interesting ideas. Overall, this may be interesting but I don't find it compelling enough. As a horror, it lacks the intensity of modern films.

Effectively spooky. Really has that old-time English ghost story quality to it. The film relies on atmosphere and uneasiness. Some great visuals and use of pre-existing landscapes. It excels at making you uncomfortable about what is hiding in the dark. Although, I do think the segments end a bit abruptly.Really well thought out wrap-around story. Perhaps not the most original ending, but it is done really well.Excellent cast all-around, but the MVP is Alex Lawther as a kid who has been scared out of his mind. He does an excellent job showing off his nervousness.
