  • Ghost Stories, Dir. by Andy Nyman, Jeremy Dyson (Lionsgate Films, 2018)
    The Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies 17 (Autumn 2018) Ghost Stories, dir. by Andy Nyman, Jeremy Dyson (Lionsgate Films, 2018) Adapted by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman from their 2010 stage play of the same name, Ghost Stories is an affectionate and self-reflexive homage to the British portmanteau-horror subgenre, and is as unabashedly melodramatic as it is deeply unsettling. The plot centres on the character Professor Goodman (played by Nyman), a parapsychologist and professional cynic who is compelled to review three unsolved cases: a night watchman encounters a poltergeist while on duty in an abandoned asylum for women; a teenage driver has an accident in the woods; and an affluent financier is haunted by the spirit of his unborn child. Male anguish bubbles under the surface and, as the cases unfold, Goodman begins to question his lack of faith in the supernatural, which, we are told, is a reaction against his strict, Jewish upbringing. Although we see very little of it, the spectre of Goodman’s childhood haunts the story like a fourth case. At the start of the film, we see a memory of his sister being violently thrown out of the family home by their father for being in a relationship with a South-Asian man. Goodman bears witness but is unable or unwilling to intervene. Not only does this flashback foreshadow the finale; it also emphasises the importance of accountability in each of the cases. Anxieties about fathers and fatherhood abound in Ghost Stories (the first case features a father consumed by the guilt he feels about not visiting his hospitalised daughter, who suffers from locked-in syndrome), while the text itself is equally haunted by its literary and cinematic ancestors.
