"Stephen Weeks's dreamlike chiller is the perfect definition of a cult British Horror film. Reunited in a country mansion in 1930s England, former public schoolmates Larry Dann (The Bill), Murray Melvin (The Devils) and Vivian MacKerrell (the inspiration for Bruce Robinson's creation Withnail in his only major screen role) are visited by the spirit of former resident Marianne Faithfull (The Girl on a Motorcycle). who was wrongly incarcerated in a local asylum. Via her demonic doll, we are transported to a surreal and sinister world of incest and murder, and her revenge on the corrupt asylum s sadistic doctor. Featuring Barbara Shelley (Dracula, Prince of Darkness), Leigh Lawson (Hammer House of Horror), Anthony Bate (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Beasts) and Penelope Keith (The Good Life, To The Manor Born) with a soundtrack by Pink Floyd collaborator Ron Geesin, Ghost Story Now beautifully restored and packed with bonus features, Ghost Story successfully combines 1970s horror with 1930s charm in this high definition premiere!"
