Feature film adaptation of the BBC sitcom Ghosts, with Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby and Martha Howe-Douglas, screened at Exeter Phoenix.
Ghosts: The Possession of Button House opens at Exeter Phoenix on Friday 6 November, with screenings running through to Thursday 12 November. It's the feature film adaptation of the BBC sitcom Ghosts, so the ghostly residents of Button House are moving from the small screen to the big one.
The story picks up where the series left off. The house's owners, Alison and Mike, have moved on, and the ghosts are left to figure out how to reach their living friends. Things get complicated when protesters disrupt the construction of a planned hotel on the site. The amateur ghost Julian sees his chance to finally leave the grounds by jumping into the body of Jack, a teenage ghost hunter, while Jack gets a crash course in the afterlife in return. It's a 97-minute film directed by Simon Hynd, with Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby and Martha Howe-Douglas returning as the ghosts we know from the show.
