Trivia

The exposing of the psychic at the beginning is based on a real event. Televangelist and supposed faith healer Peter Popoff was caught by skeptic amd magician James Randi. Popoff would have people fill out prayer request cards before events. Randi intercepted the radio signals from Popoff's wife, feeding him information from the cards, into his hidden earpiece.

User Reviews

Creepy, very British Horror film.

This portmanteau film is made up of 3 scary ghost stories, all investigated by a man of science who is convinced the paranormal can be explained away with mundane explanations. A mysterious package leads him to investigate these 3 spooky tales. Great acting, well shot and directed, with a very British sense of humour sprinkled throughout. Do not read too much about this movie, just go and experience it, I think you will find it scary, interesting and most of all worth your time.
