Ghostwatch

1992 · 91 min

A cosy live-TV format slowly curdles into dread, making ordinary screens feel unsafe and the studio lights feel like a trap.

Tagline: "We don't want to give anyone sleepless nights."
Overview: On Halloween 1992, the BBC broadcasts an investigation into the supernatural, hosted by TV chat-show legend Michael Parkinson. Parky (assisted by Mike Smith, Sarah Greene and Craig Charles) and a camera crew attempt to discover the truth behind the most haunted house in Britain. This groundbreaking live television experiment does not go as planned, however.
How it feels: Eerie, tense, dark and satirical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Isolation, media, deception, fate
Content: Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
