At first I was a little turned off by the ridiculous premise of two ghost hunting enthusiasts who get engaged and then want to get married in a haunted house, but the actor Dominic Sherwood kind of saved the day with his lovely Scottish burr used for his historic character Malcolm.
The soon to be married Jane and Brian arrive at their haunted B&B only to discover that they can actually see Angelique, the ghost in residence. She has a tragic love story and doesn't want to let Jane and Brian have their happy ending...which sends them in search of Angelique's other half, Malcolm.
Then there are some false starts to moving a reuniting the ghosts...but eventually the two kooky ghosts lovers persevere just in time for their own wedding.
Tons of goofy comedy, which really isn't my thing, centered around the maid of honor and best man who are continually running interference for the missing soon to be bride and groom.
Also, I am sure they wanted the two characters to be very different, Malcolm and Brian, as they were played in a dual role by Dominic Sherwood...but I found the awkwardness and dropping things by Brian to be really off-putting and Jane's manufactured previous jilting seemed unnecessary to the plot.
The one really bright spot of this haunted Hallmark Halloween offering was Sherwood's portrayal of the historic Scottish character Malcolm. His Scottish burr was fantastic and I really enjoyed the romanticism of his character.
In general really light hearted, but not quite strong enough of a story or offering for me to recommend. I do like that Hallmark is trying some new things and I really like that they are doing a more Halloween-centric movie.
Of note I loved the use of the Captain and Tennille song! Excellent choice which had me singing along and made me happy!
