      John W Excellent movie for Chrstmas. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review isla s This is a good family friendly film from the 70s. The plot is quite good with different sub plots and a twist present. Its a bit cheesy but that's to be expected. I liked the variety of characters present and it did make me think, a bit. I would recommend this if your interested in ghost stories and perhaps time travel. It made me think of the film 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' at times. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review joe m Enchanting and heartwarming movie of two children in 1918 London who's lives are change when their impoverished, widowed mother is offered a job as a caretaker of a run down country estate by "The Amazing Mr. Blunden". Elements of magic, time travel and peril ensue that just make for a movie that is both humorous and also suspenseful. May be a bit too dark for the very young, yet will be appreciated by the 10-15 year olds who love such British writers as E. Nesbit or C.S. Lewis. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member chock full of cinematic technical errors. The carriage driver in the wedding scene forgot to release the parking brake and the wheel is completely locked as it rounds the bend. The wedding guests had to dodge piles of horse dung. Apparently it would have cost a lot of money to re-shoot the scene so the editors left it in. The scene where (ghost) James is trying to get the cellar keys from Mrs. Wiggins the black thread used to create the ghost effect is clearly visible. And the fire scene - - the house begins to disintegrate only moments after the fire starts. LOL Aside from the those blunders the movie was ok. A mostly predictable ghost story, but suitable for younger children - - no gushing blood, or jump scares. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a good, family friendly ghost story. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member It is excelent, Gorgeous, Beautiful. Unforgettable. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
