Sceptyczny wobec zjawisk paranormalnych profesor Goodman otrzymuje list. Tajemnicza notka wydaje się być napisana zza grobu. Wiadomość jest autorstwa jego dawnego przełożonego – Charlesa Camerona. Człowiek ten zaginął 15 lat temu i został uznany za martwego. Cameron twierdzi jednak w liście, że potrzebuje pomocy Goodmana, aby wspólnie rozwiązać trzy tajemnicze sprawy, których nie udało się rozwikłać od lat. W trakcie śledztwa, profesor spotyka na swojej drodze trójkę osób nawiedzanych przez duchy. Każda z nich opowiada mu swoją straszną historię. Jednak to nie opowieści same w sobie będą najbardziej przerażające, tylko prawda kryjąca się za nimi wszystkimi. (Kino Świat)

A compilation of short stories with a higher goal than just telling its three stories. These would be
unsatisfactorily unfinished by themselves, though able to raise some desired goose bumps. In the
end, it is a British variant of Creepshows, masterfully crafted and modern, but nicely old-school at
heart, which makes it kind of feel like an old-timey movie.

It looks like your typical ghost-type of horror movie to which everyone is used to in a deluge of contemporary horror films. And what you get is a play. It has a few good ideas from time to time but it is really theatrical. When you start to be bored it finally gives you a few answers and plays with you a little. An interesting piece.

This is a ghost anthology where the unlikeable to me main character tries to prove that all paranormal cases are a hoax and gets three cases to solve. The cases alone aren't that interesting except for the last one, where at least something interesting happens and Martin Freeman scores points, but what is worth mentioning is the main final line, which could be described as a decent mindfuck as it absolutely avoids the previous plot, but I'm not entirely sure I understood it either. It's nicely shot, has atmosphere, the acting is decent and it's unusually overwrought for a horror film, so it's worth a watch, though I prefer more action-packed and entertaining stuff. 65%.

A bit of an unconventional anthology. In the great majority of horror anthologies what you remember is the individual tales, while the story that frames them is something extra, but in Ghost Stories it’s actually the opposite. The spooky mini stories are functional, but dull. They are scary and can make you a bit nervous, but they don’t go anywhere because they end quickly (my favourite was the second one about the young guy in the car; it was creepy, especially the circumstances under the which the main character tells it). But the gem is the story of Professor Goodman, who leads the film. It delivers a couple of surprises after which the readings of the mindfuck-meter go higher than you’d expect before the screening. The final outcome is a shame, however. It’s a cowardly way to explain the previous events, even if, in Ghost Stories, the creators take it so literally that it becomes a joke.

Too bad it´s not better executed, this way it has atmosphere, many well-done scenes (by far the most intense scene is the purely King´s, supernatural scene, when the boys are at the sewer), a few ideas, but it covers too much and the three parts and the final par are conflicting. Also, as it follows horror classics (which is likeable), it means that one knows exactly what to expect and what it's all about. In any case, a nice piece of work from a department that has not been seen in Czech cinemas in recent years.
