 A Proto-Most Haunted Live! May 29, 2005
12 out of 15 found this review helpful
I was a bit puzzled about the connection between the Most Haunted! DVD collections and this video until I bought it. Then it was truly a eureka moment!--There was a younger Derek Acorah, working as one of a number of investigators at various allegedly haunted sites in the U.K! The comparison between Derek Acorah and the others was amazing even then. Derek was much more camera friendly, much more dynamic, and light years beyond the others in his acting ability. In fact, in one of the scenes in which an older woman "banishes" or "clears" an unfriendly presence, she asks Derek not to do a jittery dance he'd invented on the spot with his right hand held up behind her head like an antenna. Derek immediately stops, of course,--to his credit he's always a gentleman in this video,--but the level of interest immediately drops too. That is, Derek appears to have the ability (akin to genius, I think) to liven up the most boring situations in the world when he does his thing. Anyway, he's a star in the making in this video and I can imagine that the whole idea of Most Haunted! was born when some producer took a look at it one day while eating fish and chips. "No no, we want that there jittery guy who talks to Sam--He'll fit the bill nicely, eh? Now pass the Guiness." Interestingly enough one of the shoots involves Derek Acorah's one-man show staged somewhere in the U.K. Apparently he was packing them in even then. As far as the investigations on this video go, there's nothing much. The history of some of the spots is interesting, but all in all it devolves into watching the psychics interract with each other, and they are--outside of Derek, of course,--a rather boring lot. There's a woman who quietly weeps, a banishing woman, who's only a tad more interesting, a young man who claims to be a scientist, who has discovered over the course of the investigation that he too has psychic abilities, an older man who appears to be too tired to add much to the discussions, and a parapsychologist in charge. One psychic will pick up a name or a date and the rest will follow that lead and amplify it, except perhaps for the woman who weeps who stands in a corner and does her thing while the parapsychologist quietly asks "what's wrong? what's wrong?" Sadly, she can't often say what it is until later, when everyone discovers that it has something to do with the haunting. The main story has to do with the famous security camera video of two ghosts taking a stroll in the garden of an old spread that's now a museum of some sort. The parapsychologist correctly identifies the mystery as a misinterpretation of some natural event caught on film, but doesn't discover that the real culprits were owls. Yes, that's the answer to the mystery! (Or so I've heard.) I also suspect that the real answer to this mediumistic ability business has to do with an equally natural ability--some people are born for the stage and others aren't. Derek Acorah obviously was. But if you're looking for acting, folks, there are plenty of better actors--and scarier DVD's out there.

This dvd was quite good but I would have liked to have seen more of the spiritualsits. There was too much talking.
 Spooky look at U.K ghosts... October 23, 2001
61 out of 66 found this review helpful
I purchased this looking for a bit of a scare. What I found was not only spooky, but highly informative. I have become very interested in the spiritual realm, and this DVD gave me a new insight and perspective. I would recommend this to anyone with an interest in the subject... I dont think you can really go wrong!
