I stumbled upon the 2020 horror comedy documentary "The ParaPod: A Very British Ghost Hunt" by random chance in 2021. Granted, I had never even heard about this movie from director Ian Boldsworth, but I was very fascinated by the movie's cover, and must admit that there was a certain appeal to the title of the movie. And with it being a horror movie (of sorts) that I hadn't already seen, of course I took the time to sit down and watch "The ParaPod: A Very British Ghost Hunt".
And "The ParaPod: A Very British Ghost Hunt" was watchable, I will say that much for it. But that was about it. Sadly, the movie's cover actually proved to be the best part about the movie by far.
The storyline told in "The ParaPod: A Very British Ghost Hunt" was adequate, but it is by no means a movie with the contents to support more than just a single viewing, as it was barely scraping by the first time around.
The movie has a small cast, so those involved had to put on additional effort to keep the movie afloat and watchable. And to a certain extend, then Ian Boldsworth and Barry Dodds managed to do that well enough, I will give them that.
Visually then I had hoped for quite something more than what "The ParaPod: A Very British Ghost Hunt" delivered, especially with such an interesting cover for the movie.
I managed to sit through the entire movie, though I can with all honesty say that this is not a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time. Nor is it a movie that I would recommend horror fans to rush out to get their hands on.
My rating of "The ParaPod: A Very British Ghost Hunt" lands on a very generous four out of ten stars.
