Reviews of A Ghost Story for Christmas: The Mezzotint (2021)
At only 30 minutes, the film uses every second to build what critics at The Guardian call a "glittering half-hour nugget" of horror.
The story follows Edward Williams (played with "understated" excellence by ), a university museum curator who receives a mysterious, nondescript engraving—a mezzotint—of an English country house. What starts as a boring acquisition soon becomes a nightmare: every time Williams looks at the picture, the scene has changed. A moon appears; a window opens; a skeletal figure begins to crawl across the lawn.
