What a treat this was to see at Frightfest in London. I remember watching Ghostwatch as a family so vividly back in the 1990s and this is definitely a love letter to that- as well as a real gem in it's own right.
All the performances were brilliant but a particular mention for Mark Claney who I did now know before but who I would love to see in more- my initial perception of the character as an Alan Partridge type figure but also my more broad ideas of 80s and 90s TV hosts were definitely subtly played with in a very good way.
I obviously enjoy horror as I was at Frightfest but I have to say I felt this film is one I'd watch and rewatch around Halloween each year with friends who are not all out horror fans- people who enjoy mysteries and elements of the paranormal (and even Derry Girls!) should also see this.
