Hell Tor: Borley Rectory (15)

Dir. Ashley Thorpe | 2017 | 73mins | UK | Reece Shearsmith, Jonathan Rigby

When Daily Mirror journalist V C Wall (Reece Shearsmith) calls upon the services of famed paranormal investigator Harry Price (Jonathan Rigby) to investigate supernatural ‘goings on’ at a Victorian mansion in Essex, little does he realise that he will set into motion a story that will fascinate and confound the world. ‘Borley Rectory’ is the true story of Price’s investigation and the legends that came to haunt all those involved.

Borley Rectory is an animated documentary chronicling what came to be known as ‘The most haunted house in England’. The legends attached to the rectory and famed paranormal investigator Harry Price’s subsequent investigations of them, caught the public’s imagination during the 1930s, in time becoming one of the world’s most notorious ghost stories and influencing Shirley Jackson’s ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ and Richard Matheson’s ‘Hell House’ (both of which will be screening over the Hell Tor weekend.
