review-7 Being an American, I was familiar with American independents, but hadn't experienced low budget features from abroad. I didn't know what to expect. "Urban Ghost Story" was a pleasant surprise. We have nothing on the Brits. While this film occasionally shows it's low budget, that becomes part of the film's charm. The filmmakers are saying that they didn't spend a lot, but they can still bring the audience a lot. The film feels very stark, eerie, and enclosed. It kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what comes next. Sometimes frightening me about what comes next. And then it gave me a finale that I was certain probably cost more than the budget of the entire movie. I have no idea how they did that.

hooah2537 In all honesty I bought the movie just because I heard that Billy Boyd was in it and I am a huge Billy Boyd and Lord Of The Rings Fan. But when I saw the movie I was amazed, it was so good, scary suspenseful and very well done. The story was well constructed and the editing was amazing. Towards the end of the movie the editing all but makes the movie one of the best I have ever seen. While Billy's part was small it was very well done, I found myself actually distesting him for the first time. He is so lovable in LOTR that when you see him in a different role you are amazed that he could play someone evil. This is the first Scottish film that I have seen, and if they are all this good I want to find as many as I possibly can and spend as much money as possible just so I can see all of these good missed movies. I am Irish and I am very proud to say that I come from somewhere near Scotland, they produce good movies and even better actors. If you can you should get a hold of this movie and see it.

wilson-1 We saw Urban Ghost Story at the Odeon in London. It took a bit of getting into but then we were hooked, enthralled even,and came out feeling that we'd seen a Hollywood style movie, albeit on a low budget. We recently bought the DVD and really enjoyed the commentary about how the film was made and what scenes were disgarded etc. Altogether extremely interesting. Buy the DVD it,s really enlightening and enjoyable to boot. Janis, my wife dragged me and some friends along to see it and I'm glad she did. Can't wait to see their next movie.

Wolfsbane The film is excellent, on par with many other of it's like, of poor budget and poor material, yet arousing so many questions in the viewers head.It seeks to deal with many different elements of society, from the culture around us, the poverty of many families in Scotland, to the trauma that can be inflicted upon the neglected young.Although the film does take up perhaps too many elements, it leaves you thinking about so many different things, it really does get the Grey Cells going, as it were, rather than just a 'sit back, no thought required' film, and to be honest, this is the style I prefer.Heather Ann Foster in her first big-screen debut is a stunning actress, bringing across perfectly the balance between the insanity her character suffers and the torments she faces from society around her. Excellent casting on the Producers part, and excellent, 100% performance from Heather Ann Foster, I for one will be following her career more closely since this stunning piece.
