Harry Price: Ghost Hunter (2015 TV Movie)
6/10
Mildly Acceptable

Very losely based on the book by Neil Spring, in that they've used names and snippets.

I think this might have been a pilot for a series. I'm guessing it didn't do well on release.

The book is a very indepth story of Harry Price and his assistant. The story centres around his most famous investigation into Borley Rectory. This wasn't even mentioned. Perhaps the production company would have led up to that. The production company have really messed up here and ruined something that could have been superb.

The casting is good and bad. I like Rafe Spall but not in this role as Harry Price, dreadful casting choice. The choice of Cara Theobold as Sarah was perfect.

The story they've managed to piece together plods along. Nothing really grabbing the viewers attention. I think it's either the Introduction or the 1st chapter of the book that grabs the readers attention and very much so; if they'd done that here, they'd have had a hit.

Production fine and had potential. Casting, adaption and story telling poor.
