SHOOTING JUNE 2010

 

England, 1921: a nation beset by the grief following World War I.  A skeptical woman scientist, Florence Cathcart, is adamant in her conviction that all ghosts and spiritual manifestations can be explained away as either callous fraud or the products of fevered imaginations.  But when she is called to a countryside boarding school for boys to investigate rumours of an apparent haunting, she finds her beliefs -- all her beliefs -- shaken to the core. Facing something genuinely awakened from the past, she realizes her rationality finally gives her no place to hide.

"Those in any doubt of the legitimacy of the creative team need look no further than the man who was co-written the script: Stephen Volk...  He is among the very few writers to literally chill me with his prose. I have very high hopes for this one"  Heyuguys.co.uk
