Professor Phillip Goodman devotes his life to exposing phony psychics and fraudulent supernatural shenanigans. His skepticism soon gets put to the test when he receives news of three chilling and inexplicable cases -- disturbing visions in an abandoned asylum, a car accident deep in the woods and the spirit of an unborn child. Even scarier -- each of the macabre stories seems to have a sinister connection to the professor's own life.

Critics Consensus

Ghost Stories offers a well-crafted, skillfully told horror anthology that cleverly toys with genre tropes while adding a few devilishly frightful twists.

A real layer cake, this horror lark from British TV guys Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman.

2/5

It's a letdown to find that there's nothing at the bottom of a box of tricks which in themselves are not as clever as they could have been.

4/5

This is a low-tech affair, and all the more interesting for it. You never know quite where it's going, but it doesn't let up for a moment.

Unlike other anthology films, where the connecting segment serves merely as a pretext, Goodman's story here is one of the most interesting and unsettling. [Full review in Spanish]

4/5

The over-caffeinated and desensitized segment of genre fans might call it boring, while the veterans who remember effective minimalism will be squeezed by the twisted nerve leading to solid suspense.

Ghost Stories is refreshingly old-fashioned in its embrace of classical horror techniques. Ultimately, Nyman and Dyson’s film is so full-bloodedly cinematic that it leaves one wondering how on earth they captured this on the stage.

Excellent, it was all in his mind apparently, this seems inspired by quantum mechanics where the self creates reality.

Can't believe I've wasted an hour and a half on this piece of garbage! Worst film ever! Don't bother with it at all!

effective in its tenseness and scares with a wild twist, one of the underrated gems of the year. actors were really excellent. the ending could be seen as a bad thing that betrays the film altogether but i still found myself enjoying it.
