Yes, it is a ghost story but one which has a strong moral message: that people can be noble beings and sacrifice themselves for others, and that we often are harder on ourselves and unforgiving with ourselves while being willing to quickly forgive others. In a nice scene prayer is offered over a meal.

James Greville comes to Greville Lodge to spend time with his Great Uncle and begins to experience life in the past, during World War ll, and encounters a grave digger named Billy. Much of it doesn’t make sense at first to James but he soon begins to put the pieces together and he realizes that there is more to this visiting apparition than it just attempting to scare him. The ghost has a message for him which he needs to hear.

Although this movie might not be for everyone, it features an interesting plot along with moral themes such as forgiveness and sacrifice as well as the importance of loyalty. The ghost story is featured but in the way “A Christmas Carol” features spirits. The ghost appears for the good of one of the characters. Due to its focus on these themes and the strong friendship of several characters, we are recommending this movie for ages twelve plus and recommending that parents consult the content listing below to make their own informed decisions. This one will make you think!
