You know what’s missing from the Syfy Channel’s “Ghost Hunters” TV show? A classy, pretty lady with a British accent. Nick Murphy’s period-set horror film “The Awakening” takes care of that with Rebecca Hall (“The Town”) in the lead, here exploring a haunted boys school. Our heroine is a non-believer, which means she’s in for a rude awakening when ghost boys start appearing. Lucky for her, a hunky Dominic West (“300″) is there to lend a shoulder or two. The setting and characters remind me a bit of Alejandro Amenábar’s very underrated horror flick “The Others”, minus Nicole Kidman’s frozen face. 1921 England is overwhelmed by the loss and grief of World War I. Hoax exposer Florence Cathcart visits a boarding school to explain sightings of a child ghost. Everything she knew in unravels as the ‘missing’ begin to show themselves.

Our Wednesday night series Hit Me With Your Best Shot resumes on May 4th with David Lynch's Eraserhead (see the May & June schedule here), but tonight we bring you A Very Special Episode.
We knew from Twitter that the actress Melanie Lynskey (Win Win) enjoyed this particular series. After our group gaze at Heavenly Creatures (1994), which happened to be her film debut, she sent us the following note with permission to publish it. How great! Melanie is currently in movie theaters as the troubled mom in Win Win but she's got two more films on the way. She's completed work on Eye of the Hurricane co-starring with Campbell Scott (another underrated actor) and Touchback, a sports fantasy starring Kurt Russell.
Melanie takes it from here...
