A Ghost Story for Christmas: Lot No. 249

About This Movie

A Ghost Story for Christmas: Lot No. 249 weaves a chilling tale in the atmospheric setting of 1881 Oxford. You’ve got this trifecta of academics - Abercrombie Smith, who is your archetypal Victorian man, all rational and composed. Then there’s Monkhouse Lee, who brings this fragile, almost ethereal quality as a student from Thailand. Sandwiched between them is Edward, who’s just plain unsettling. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to simmer, which really heightens the eerie moments. The practical effects maintain that classic horror vibe, and the performances are nuanced, adding layers to their characters. It’s the sort of story that lingers with you, playing on the edges of intellect and the uncanny - all wrapped up in a haunting atmosphere.
