Borley Rectory (2017)
Borley Rectory is an animated documentary chronicling what came to be known as The most haunted house in England. The legends attached to the rectory at Borley and famed paranormal investigator Harry Price's subsequent investigations of them, caught the public's imagination during the late 20's in time becoming one of the world's most notorious ghost stories influencing Shirley Jacksons Haunting of Hill House and Richard Mathesons Hell House.

When Mirror journalist V C Wall (Shearsmith) calls upon the services of famed Paranormal investigator Harry Price (Rigby) to investigate supernatural goings on at a Victorian mansion in Essex, little does he realise that he will set into motion a story that will fascinate and confound the world.

    Haunted!

    If you love ghost stories, if you love the aesthetic of old, faded photographs of seances, of planchettes and ghost writing, Victoriana, decaying grandeur and hauntology, I recommend this exceptional little labour of love. Every frame is a work of art, every flicker of dust mote or misty tendril might be a phantom or face at the window.
