Awesome Irish made comedy about a father being haunted by his dead controlling wife who seeks out Rose, a small town local driver’s education instructor who has skills communicating and dealing with ghosts. As they solve hauntings together gaining ectoplasm, they set off to release his daughter from becoming a “virgin sacrifice” into the gates of hell that a local satanist in his castle needs to boost his musical talents in exchange. It’s hiliarious with star acting from “The last man on Earth” fame. Hits home for me as I’ve spent many times at the infamous Charleville Castle in Tullamore, home of Smokin’ Craic and Shakefest as well as many other festivals. Great plot, fabulous Irish humor, cool storyline, and downright fun.
