    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The boy who plays Daniel Radcliffe's son is his real godson, casting suggested by Radcliffe himself, which helped him establish an authentic relationship between father and son.
    • Goofs
      When Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe) first reaches Gifford Arms Inn in Sam Daily's (Ciarán Hinds) car, it is raining heavily and Arthur is shown with his clothes wet. When it cuts to the next scene where Arthur talks to the innkeeper Fisher (Shaun Dooley) at the reception counter, Arthur's clothes are suddenly dry. In the next scene still at the reception, his clothes are wet again.
    • Quotes

      Arthur Kipps: You don't believe me, do you?

      Daily: I believe even the most rational mind can play tricks in the dark.

    • Alternate versions
      The UK cinema version was cut visually by six seconds to secure a 12A rating. In addition to this, some substitutions were also made by the distributor. This included darkening some shots to reduce the impact of their graphic/horrific nature, and reducing the sound levels in others. Some of these cuts in particular apply to a hanging scene and a scene of self-immolation.

    Finally a scary movie!
    I went in to seeing this movie after reading the book, and personally I thought it was great. Horror movies these days get loss in blood and gore and that's what the work thinks is "horror" these days, thankfully this movie took a turn to what horror actually is. There are plenty of scenes that make you jump and keep you on the edge of your seat and the storyline is great too. The only weird thing was there were just a couple scenes in which I just couldn't help but think of Harry potter but that didn't even come close to ruining it for me. I was nervous because I thought they Showed all the scary moments through the previews but they did not! Daniel Radcliffe did a great job and I would go see it again with out a doubt. We need to see more horror movies like this one!
