Professor Phillip Goodman (Andy Nyman), psychologist and skeptic, has his rationality tested to the hilt when he stumbles across a long-lost file containing details of three terrifying hauntings.

Shaken by what he reads, Goodman embarks on a mission to find rational explanations for these ghostly stories.

As Goodman investigates, he meets three tormented people (Martin Freeman, Paul Whitehouse, Alex Lawther), each with a tale more frightening and inexplicable than the last.

This well-crafted ode to old-school horror movies - adapted from directors Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson's successful London stage play - features a wondrous score (out now via Varese Sarabande records) by Frank Ilfman; who conducted the London Metropolitan Orchestra at Air Lyndhurst Studios.

OK, sure, I'll give you that ten of them are simply seconds worth of spoken character words/statements, and some others are simply snippets of moments of building terror and such, but what's left still makes for a wondrous delve into darkly horrorful compositions, trust me.
