Synopsis

Ghost Story (1981) is John Irvin's supernatural thriller, adapted from Peter Straub's novel, and you can watch online on iFILM. Four elderly gentlemen in a small New England town have spent fifty years in the Chowder Society, passing winter nights by telling each other frightening tales.

The four share one real secret, and it is exactly half a century old. When one man's grown son dies in a strange, inexplicable fall, the old friends realize the past has come to collect. Something is working through them one at a time, and there is nowhere left to hide. Alice Krige plays the cold beauty who ties every thread into a single knot.

The real draw is the cast: Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and John Houseman — old-Hollywood legends, several of them in one of their final roles. A slow, snowbound gothic chiller for viewers who value atmosphere over jump scares. Stream Ghost Story (1981) online on iFILM.
