Ghost stories and haunted houses have a strong tradition in British cinema and literature. The Americans managed to subvert the genre on film, adding a nasty streak in the name of thrills that was more about gore than the supernatural.

The recent The Woman In Black showed that the British are still the masters of the genre, and Soulmate’s intention is to carry on that tradition.

After a failed suicide attempt, unflinchingly portrayed on screen, Audrey, a young widow, retires to a remote cottage in the country to reassess her life. She soon discovers that the spirit of the cottage’s previous owner still inhabits it.

Rather than run away, Audrey decides to stay and seek solace in the company of the ghost.

We don’t usually feature 'straight' horror films in our line-up, but this is more than a typical scares and gore movie tale.

Writer-director Axelle Carolyn's début brings a unique sensibility to the genre by fashioning a supernatural love story that still delivers chills and the right amount of bumps and jumps.

Produced by Neil Marshall, this is a wonderfully well told ghost story.
