Haunted 5: Phantoms

About This Movie

Haunted 5: Phantoms dives into the murky depths of London’s haunted pubs, where the atmosphere is thick with dread and curiosity. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it builds tension effectively. The practical effects—those ghostly apparitions and unsettling poltergeist moments—add a raw, tangible quality that often gets lost in modern CGI. The performances, particularly from Andrew Robinson, feel grounded, enhancing the drama amidst the chaos. The themes of uncovering hidden truths and confronting past traumas resonate throughout, giving it a layer that’s intriguing. It’s a blend of drama, fantasy, and horror that tries to push the boundaries of its genre while staying true to its roots. It’s an interesting watch for those into the haunted house sub-genre.
