Ruth's Review:
This is a true edge-of-your-seat thriller. It’s never a good omen when you get a job because your predecessor died, but this is what’s happened to the ghost writer. The story is told from the Ghost’s point of view, and right from the start he’s the only character you feel you can trust. The plot steadily thickens and a sense of danger and isolation increases, emphasised by the symbolic environment of bleak windswept beaches, vicious storms and rain lashing against a house made almost entirely of windows.
This film has attracted a lot of attention because of its controversial director Roman Polanski, and has a fabulous British cast including Pierce Brosnan, Ewan McGregor, Kim Cattrall, Olivia Williams and Tom Wilkinson.
