    Nah

    Imagine the most straight to DVD cinematography you can, combined with extreme over-editing to get around terrible acting performances. Throw in a complete lack of anything approaching a scare; $2 effects to make the eyes of a ghost nun glow; a completely nonsensical plot; and more shots of a sweaty lead awakening from a dream than has ever before been committed to film.

    Now that you've imagined all of that, multiply it by twenty, and you have yourself an approximation of the true terribleness that is The Haunting of Borley Rectory.

    Not good in any level. Fair play to Smith for constantly making films.

    Don't bother

    This movie sucks. You will deeply regret the time you spent watching it. Really, you'd have much more fun visiting your dentist for a root canal. Everything is bad, the writing, the acting, the directing. A 5 year old could make a better horror film than this. I feel insulted being presented with this garbage. Do yourself a favor and avoid like the plague.

    You all must be like main character Danny

    This was a fun horror movie. Great drama. It is the kind of movie you can't believe you are watching, and yet you have to see it through. Especially considering that I read reviews first before most movies. And how often it is said the good reviews must be from people associated with the film. Then I take a chance and a lot of movies had I taken poor reviewers advice would have missed. Give it a try, by 20 minute mark you will know if it's for you. I really enjoyed this. It's not Horror as much as an entertaining piece of work.

    Just plain bad

    I try to find something good about every movie I watch, even if they're really bad. In this case however, and I do apologize to those who worked on it, I can't find anything good about it. I would rate it a 0, if it were possible.

    Worst Movie Made this Century

    Fat faced Brit who literally can't act gets messed up by spooks who arent even scary.

    Looks like it was made for thirty cents.

    No tension, no thrills, no scares.

    Just bad filmmaking.

    And horrible writing.

    No special effects wither. It sucks.

      Control: All work and no play make Danny a very naughty boy. You have been playing at this game for many years, hiding behind your keyboard, but now we have finally found you, Danny boy!

      Danny: Fuck.

      Control: Shut the fuck up and listen! You have been a troll way too long, and it's time to come out and play. It's time to come out and show yourself to the directors, actors, producers, makers of the films you have spewed your toxic hate upon. You live in a crummy little flat in a little shit town; your sister is named Tina, your neighbor is named Andy, the number of your flat is 12A. Ring any bells?

      [Danny looks around agog]

      Control: What' you looking at, Danny?

      [he turns to his laptop]

      Control: We're watching you now.

      Danny: How're you doing this?

      Control: We have hacked you! Now it's time for us to view you! It's time to turn the tide and tell you what we all think. What we think about your reviews.

      Danny: How're you doing this?

      Control: Shut up you piece of shit! You just listen.

      Danny: It was just a joke. I didn't think it would harm anyone, I haven't done anything wrong.

      Control: Haven't done anything wrong! The last film you reviewed, the director committed suicide after reading your online hate!

      Danny: I-I-I didn't think he would do that!

      Control: That's the point, you didn't *think*! You didn't think about how your drivel would affect people, because you didn't care. You are the lowest kind of scum, if I was there, I'd beat you to a pulp. And the great thing is that nobody would find you for months in that shithole flat, because you are alone, and always will be. You'd rot until the smell was so bad, Andy might bother to call the police.

      Danny: What do you want?

      Control: Time for redemption, Danny. I want to make a movie, and you're the star.

      Danny: What movie?

      Control: There is a place that is ready and waiting for its star to arrive. I have prepped it with cameras and a few surprises. All you have to do is survive 24 hours in it, I have left instructions on your phone. When you arrive, there'll be a package for you, follow the instructions and I won't share your personal information to anyone. If you don't, then I will let everyone you have spread your hate to know who you really are.

      Danny: Why would I do this? I could just get away, change my name, change my profile, I could do that, I've done it before.

      Control: No you won't, you have built up your handle, Dannythedestroyer, you have 10 million followers, that will take a long time to get back, but just to entice you more, I have added a little bonus.

      Danny: Bonus?

      Control: One, million, pounds. I am so confident you won't survive the night, I am personally offering one million pounds. It's at the location all ready and waiting.

      Danny: A million? A million pounds?

      Control: So what do you want to do, Danny boy? Live a life on the run, or spend 24 hours in a movie and make a million?
