A Haunting at the Rectory

But actually for the wrong reasons. This is quite subpar and I think it knows so itself. But since we have different tastes and all, some might find something appealing in this, that others do not even see. Even the acting that I would not consider ... good myself or the script this is based on ... you might find them freeing and interesting.

And that is the good thing when we talk about movies: we have something to talk about. In this case talking about a movie with a few characters is not really something that will change anyones mind about how they feel about it. It could have been a movie shot during the pandemic. Considering that it only contains a few people. The horror does not work as well as the makers thought it would. The tension between the characters will finally have a conclusion - but while it may think it is clever ... well you'll be the judge (jury and executioner - no pun intended)

I thought this movie was supposed to be about a haunted place, but it is, in fact, about infidelity. The story focuses on the Reverend's wife and the handyman's affair almost exclusively; so much that the supposed "paranormal" events look totally out of place.

This movie did not get anything right. It didn't look or feel like 1930 at all (I've seen documentaries about the 30s). The actors seemed wrong for their respective roles. The events were unrealistic and the characters' response to them illogical. The movie didn't seem to know where it wants to go or what it wants to do with itself.

The paranormal events were so few, so exaggerated, discorded and random that it'd make you think that, perhaps, they were edited into this movie from another movie by mistake.

The description: "A Reverend and his wife discover their new home has a deadly secret."

O.K., what "deadly secret"? Unless I missed something, this "secret" was never revealed...

I really don't understand the paranormal connection at all. This movies is about a cheating wife, not about paranormal activity. I didn't get what the ghost drivel, that was randomly shoved into a movie of entirely different genre, had to do with anything or what connection it was supposed to have to the story.

Basically, the whole thing is poorly pieced together and a bit messy. Perhaps it would appeal to "drama"- or even "crime"-lovers, but to label it as "mystery" is highly misleading to say the least.

Borley Rectory is supposed to be one of the most Haunted places in Britain but it does not reflect in this movie .

'Haunting At The Rectory' is a Period Drama about a Vicar, his unsatisfied wife and a handy man who upon becoming her lover finds himself caught in the middle .

It is a period Drama that results in Murder and nothing more than that . It promises one thing and gives something entirely different .

Watched this and was extremely disappointed. It's not actually a horror film, a more accurate description would be a drama without any drama. Nothing actually happens, characters just mope around rooms and moan about their lives. The acting is abysmal and could not even be classed as amateur dramatics standard.The actor that plays Frank Peerless is ironically named as I've never seen someone act so badly. I've no idea where he got the idea to talk in a mock cockney/toff accent- but its laughable. The vicar is about as wooden as they come and the whole thing is unbelievable and would be laughable if it wasn't so tedious.

If this is the standard of British filmaking there is no hope.

Got this in a pound shop. 99p over priced. No relation to the true Borley Rectory story at all. No supernatural goings on worth reporting. OK, the actors weren't bad, but I felt embarrassed for them . Hope Suzie gets better exposure though, she's good . So slow, and not 1930's at all.
