 Good Family Film January 18, 2010
OTMA (Agoura Hills, Ca USA)
I believe that this is a made for TV - family channel (ABC or Disney type) production and in that category is a very good family version. The location and production values are high quality and of course Patrick Stewart delivers an excellent performance. Neve Campbell is also good in her roll although her character (Virginia) is not very likable at first. There is some cheese to be sure but overall is entertaining and has a good moral tone. Probably not for die hard fans of Wilde and the original story but a good film to have. My wife puts it on quite often, it has a comforting feel and a happy ending ;-)
A beautiful film but - alas - with technical viewing problems ... January 14, 2010
U. Dernbach-Steffl (Germany)
The extremely good story by Oscar Wilde, very well adapted and captured in a motion picture with the best cast imaginable. However, we have problems viewing it: the pictures sometimes shake like in an earthquake, but the sound miraculously has normal continuity.

We liked this one. Pretty standard story but a really fun take for the haunted holiday viewing.
Great Family Friendly Ghost Story October 31, 2009
Susan Y. Schoonover (Boulder, CO)
I have to admit I've never read Oscar Wilde's short story this is based on or seen any of the other productions of THE CANTERVILLE GHOST. However I can say this 1996 version is very entertaining. Patrick Stewart is absolutely perfect as the Shakespeare quoting ghost whose been harboring a broken heart since the 1500's. Neve Campbell look sweet and innocent as Ginny the teenage girl from Indiana who sets him free and in this telling snags a neighboring Duke as a beau along the way. The supporting parts are believably cast and acted as well. This is a beautiful production which appears to have been filmed on location in a British manor house. It's not really a scary film despite its supernatural elements though I suppose the really young or really sensitive could find it intense. THE CANTERVILLE GHOST should appeal to many with its humor, romance, and nice spiritual message along with the bit of suspense provided.

I have viewed now 3 versions of this story: Charles Laughton/Robert Young from the 1940's was okay for the time period; the Richard Kiley version was a bit over the top. This version with Patrick Stewart really brought the story to life and seemed a true presentation of the original Oscar Wilde story.
