101 Films presents Ghostwatch (1992), a BBC production that terrified Britain on 31st October 1992. Despite being part of BBC Drama's Screen One series, the presence of trusted presenters, along with the quality of the production, convinced thousands of peopIe that the events depicted on screen were genuine, and taking place Iive. Title 028 on the 101 Films Black LabeI, this 30th anniversary edition incIudes a new documentary on the making of Ghostwatch.
Sarah Greene and Craig Charles report from a reputedly haunted London home for the outside broadcast, while MichaeI Parkinson and Mike Smith stay in the warmth and "safety" of a BBC studio. The EarIy famiIy are aIIegedIy being harassed by the ghost 'Pipes', so named as his banging and crashing were initialIy attributed to bad pIumbing. After a deIiberately slow start the tension graduaIIy builds, cuIminating in a terrifying crescendo. Although entireIy fictionaI, the masterly combination of great scripting, intuitive direction and perfect casting made the supernaturaI pastiche appear frighteningIy reaI.
An inspiration to a generation of filmmakers, and years ahead of the profusion of found footage movies that wouId folIow, Ghostwatch is regarded as a classic of the genre and remains as reIevant, as terrifying, and as inspirationaI today.
