A Ghost Waits, the debut feature from co-writer/director/producer Adam Stovall is set to premiere on Arrow in February ahead of a physical release later in the year. The film was awarded Best Film at this past year’s FrightFest event and was also one of our picks too. The film is described as a charming, funny, and frightening spectral romcom, and will land on Arrow on 1st February followed by a premium Blu-ray and Digital HD release in May 2021.
The film features tremendous lead performances from MacLeod Andrews (Doctor Sleep, They Look Like People) and Natalie Walker (TV’s Search Party) as an unlikely couple, in this wonderfully charming and loveable cross between Ghost and indie hit In Search of a Midnight Kiss.
Jack’s job is to fix up rental properties to make way for new tenants, but one property keeps winding up empty. Tasked with discovering why and fixing the issue, Jack meets Muriel…a ghost. Muriel’s job is to haunt the home and keep it vacant. They should be enemies but find they have a great deal in common…pulse notwithstanding. Having found a kindred spirit in an otherwise lonely existence, Jack and Muriel must fight for their newfound affection as pressure mounts for them each to fulfill their “cross-purposes”. A genre blending story with heart, humour, a little fear, and big questions.
We called the film ‘simultaneously uplifting and heartbreaking‘ when we caught the film in March. Read our full review of the film here.
