Ghostbusters 1921

The Awakening is an unexpectedly effective period ghost story in the vein of The Turn Of The Shrew. Well produced by BBC Film with a great cast led by Rebecca Hall with strong support from Dominic West and Imedla Staunton, it features the efforts of an independent an educated woman in 1921 to disproved that a children's Boarding School is haunted.

It's atmospheric and tense with enough character stuff to keep things moving along quite nicely, with the central hook for the audience being whether the events are real or faked. As with all ghost stories since The Sixth Sense, this is rather dependant on a final act twist, which fortunately works well, despite what some mopey critics might have you believe. There is an odd subplot about a slightly bonkers groundsman that has no business being in the narrative at all, but that aside, The Awakening is well worth your time.
