Truly Dreadful Film

Awesome Movie

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

URBAN GHOST STORY is a human drama masquerading as a horror film, or more accurately ghost story. Just as THE MACHINIST saw Christian Bale's character haunted by sinister events of the past, so URBAN GHOST STORY is all about a teenage girl haunted, not by a ghost in her apartment, but by a traumatic incident that killed her friend and almost killed her as well. As such, this is a character drama all about guilt, forgiveness and redemption, so those expecting POLTERGEIST-style hijinks will be sorely disappointed.The story begins slowly, and it's an undoubted disappointment when you realise this has a budget on par with an ITV drama. The acting is changeable, to say the least, and for the first half of the film we're saddled with a repellent lead who it's hard to sympathise with. Then things start to improve, the film begins having fun by twisting the audience's expectations, and the characters grow to the extent they become believable people. No Hollywood gloss here, just strong filmmaking.The cast is wide-ranging for a low budget drama. Jason Connery will always act in his father's shadow, but he handles a complex role well here and I came away liking him a lot. Heather Ann Foster has the toughest role, but she's never less than believable. She fits well into the gritty, grimy surrounds. There are a fair few faces, like the always unpleasant Nicola Stapleton playing another chav character, BRAVEHEART stalwart James Cosmo as a priest, and a scene-stealing Billy Boyd playing a loan shark, about a hundred miles away from his role as Pippin in the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy. Boyd is a really venomous characters who nails the facial tics perfectly. Even Andreas Wisniewski, the familiar bad guy from THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS and DIE HARD, turns up as a ghost hunter.The spiritual stuff is well handled and realistic, and pretty eerie with it. On more than one occasion this film reminded me of GHOSTWATCH, the seminal BBC drama that had viewers scared out of their wits one Halloween. In the end, though, the ghost stuff is secondary to a strong, moving story with genuinely believable characters.

Billy Boyd is the sexiest Glaswegian thug ever, I want to have his little ned babies. He will beat me and I will drink all the time and the children will steal cars and start smoking when they are seven, we will be the perfect family. I will stick by him even through his years in prison and his numerous bits of stuff on the side. This is my dream.Jason Connery is also not bad looking, even funny German scientist dude was kinda cute. The movie was also quite good, well worth the £4.99 I paid that's for damn sure. Take a couple of characters from Trainspotting and stick them into a mix of Sixth Sense and Poltergeist. Now ramp down your expectations to British ITV movie level and you're there. A lot better than I would have expected.

Finding any work with Billy Boyd here in the US is tough so finding something where Billy is credited as 'loan shark' told me he wouldn't be in it much - and he was only in two scenes. However, the story itself was absorbing, though slow or repetitive in a couple of places. There was a good amount of tension building to keep me interested. While I am not familiar with who's who in the Scottish acting world, I thought there were strong performances by Heather Ann Foster, Stephanie Buttle and Nicola Stapleton, as well as a fair turn for Jason Connery. I was quite astonished by Billy's foul mouthed character - a loan shark that has a stutter that comes out when he particularly angry. I thought he played the part well. He certainly startled me with his performance - so much anger. Generally, I don't go in for these kind of movies and it was curiosity of Billy's previous work that got my attention. But it was the story that kept me watching.

This debut by Jolliffe is not bad, but if suffers from wanting to tell too much at the same time: the guilty conscience of Lizzie, the horror of living in a block of flats, of nosy neighbours, of journalism, social service and so on, and so on. The result is an uneven, detached picture. Heather Ann Foster is very good as Lizzie.
