Ghost Story is a strange horror film from 1974. It was directed by Steven Weeks and it is one of my favourite films of all time.
This is a DVD review, however, there is no additional footage, there are no out-takes and it looks like it has been converted straight from film. The original was from 1974, so it is unlikely that additions would be available. It was hard enough tracking the film down in the first place !
WARNING>>>>> PLOT SPOILER !!!!
The story is about three friends from university, going down to a mansion that had been giving to one of them upon his graduation. It is an old mansion, that he, (McFaden), knows is haunted. He does not make the other two guests aware of this however.
McFaden is played by Murray Melvyn, and he is creepy enough, but he has a sort of gayness about him the whole way throughtout the film, and although most of the time he spends arguing about what he will have for breakfast the following day, he breaks his boredom by psychologically abusing his long suffering "friend" Talbot.
Talbot is the one however, who the ghosts appear to. They need his help and throughout the film, they tell their story.
Talbot however, cannot comprehend what is happening, and thinks he is going insane.
The last half of the film is amazing. DO NOT WATCH IN THE DARK !

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
