Ghost Stories movie review: hasn’t got boo to say
Not an anthology of complete short tales but the highlights from much longer stories only briefly sketched and left maddeningly unfinished. Barely a movie at all, more a tease of one.

the Doctor wonders if he is a good man…

London photo: hot pink Richard III
