This movie is slow. It begins after the move into the home. Nothing to imply a super scary haunting. Actually the only thing scary about this movie was the acting. If you're looking for a white knuckle haunt movie keep driving. In fact unless you're looking for a lifetime movie decaffeinated keep going. Boring, slow, predictable. Young sexually frustrated housewife has an affair with live in handy man while bible wielding preacher husband is absent during the day. Hooray...........yawn.

Even though I hadn't read the description of this movie before seeing it, it still was not anything like I expected it to be. It was more about the relationships between, the pastor, his wife and the new handyman than about the haunting at Borley Rectory. They do enter into the story, but they aren't the main focus for the first half of the movie. It's actually a pretty good character study of the three people. The other spoiler heavy review outlining the plot only touches the surface of what's offered here. This film moves much more slowly than what we're used to in the United States, particularly for a horror film. It reminds me more of the type of movie that might have been made in the 60's or 70's in the United States. The "special effects" are at about that level too. In my opinion it would have been better had they left out the last scene because the substandard special effects were almost comical and didn't fit the rest of the film. It also added nothing to the story. It seemed like it was there mainly to give the prop guy something fun to do. Aside from that, I thought this was pretty good.

The story goes: "In 1930, Reverend Lionel Foyster and his wife Marianne move into the Borley Rectory when Reverend Foyster is named rector of the parish. The couple's peaceful existence is soon shattered by a series of unexplained occurrences which quickly escalate into a heart stopping nightmare." I think they must have put the wrong description on the cover. Actual film is: Reverend hires handyman. Reverend's wife has sex with handyman. Reverend finds out. Handyman and wife plot to kill reverend. Reverend kills handyman and wife instead. The End.Unexplained occurrences? Handyman gets beaten up in bed. Scarecrow found in bed. Bones found in cupboard. Woman walks about in graveyard in white frock. Some person in a black hood and white mask appears a couple of times. If there was anything else I must have missed it when I dozed off. Summary: One big yawn and a waste of time and money. Dreadful.

Well, it started off badly...............then got worse! The acting is worse than any amateur dramatic production I've ever seen and that's just for starters.Borley Rectory is/was one of the most haunted places in the UK, the stories surrounding it are extremely interesting. This film didn't touch on anything remotely interesting at all.It seems like this film was made in a hurry and on a budget, it also seems as though the person who made it didn't research Borley Rectory at all. Hopefully there's another film about this place that's much better.
