POLTERHEIST

released 28 January 2018 | 15 | dVd/download

Two gangsters, aided by a female medium, revive the spirit of the man they murdered in this micro-budgeted horror-comedy, shot across Bradford. With lines like, “Ere, Frank, what’s it like ’avin’ tits?” the pinnacle of its witticisms, it’s best not to expect too much laugh-wise.

Sadly, despite some adequate gore effects, it also stumbles as a horror, saddled as it is with some garishly lit cinematography that robs it of any sense of atmosphere.
