Polterheist
Released in 2018, Polterheist, two gangsters are given 72 hours to discover the whereabouts of a stash of drug money stolen by their boss. There's only one problem...they just murdered him.
Frantic to find the cash, the hapless criminals kidnap a psychic medium and force her to contact the dead gang boss. Unfortunately for them, they only succeed in unleashing an evil spirit bent on revenge.
​
Guns, Gangsters..........Ghosts
​
Polterheist, a British gangster movie shot in the style of Reservoir Dogs, with a touch of The Exorcist and a hint of The League of Gentlemen thrown in for good measure, all neatly packaged in a northern sense of humour tin.
​
Set in Bradford, Yorkshire, an excellent story develops and is bound together by real quality performances from all the cast, with a special "shout out" to Jo Mosley and her epic portrayal of psychic Alice and supernatural Frank, hats off we salute you!
​
With characters complimenting each other through the sometimes violent, brutal and yet very funny scenes and a seriously slick production providing the perfect combination, Polterheist is lifted onto another level...........another spiritual level.
​
Polterheist, a cult classic in the making, very original, very bold as brass up north funny........someone please explain it to the southerners and get the subtitles ready for over the pond!
​
Highly recommended.......almost.....almost a gem!
