The residents of Button House come to the big screen in this PG comedy from the BBC series, with Matthew Baynton, Simon Farnaby and Martha Howe-Douglas.
Ghosts: The Possession is coming to The Odyssey Cinema on Friday 13 November, and it's not just a one-off — it runs across six dates: Friday 13, Saturday 14, Wednesday 18, Friday 20, Sunday 22 and Tuesday 24 November. If you've followed the BBC series, you'll know the premise: the residents of Button House are ghosts, and they're stuck sharing the place with Alison, the only living person who can see and hear them.
This time they're moving to the big screen. The story kicks off when Julian pushes his paranormal abilities a bit too far and manages to possess Jack, a teenage intruder. He takes his chance at feeling alive again, which causes more than a few problems for the unsuspecting boy. To sort it out, Alison has to return to the house and join her old family of ghosts — Thomas, Kitty, Pat, Robin, Fanny and the Captain — to save Julian and stop another death on Button House grounds. It's a 97-minute comedy with a PG rating, so it's one you can take the whole family to.
Behind the scenes, the film is directed by Simon Hynd and brings back the original cast: Matthew Baynton, Lolly Adefope, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Charlotte Richie, Kiell Smith-Bynoe and Jim Howick. With the same faces and voices from the series, it's a direct extension of the world they've built over the years rather than a reboot or a spin-off.
