What kind of watch this is
Ghosts: The Possession of Button House is a 2026 fantasy comedy that runs 97 minutes. Simon Hynd directs a cast including Simon Farnaby as Julian Fawcett, Jim Howick as Pat Butcher, and Ben Willbond as The Captain. The tagline reads, "They're not back... they never left." The premise involves Alison, Mike, Mia, and the ghosts facing a matter of life and death.
What the critics said
The critics warmed to the fact that a feature-length runtime gave the writers room to breathe. The Guardian noted the format allowed for "new levels of giddiness" while keeping things "warm and comforting." Empire called it "neatly plotted" with "non-stop chuckles." Time Out highlighted Watson’s addition, noting the film faithfully imbibes the series' "alcohol-free cocktail" of charm. It layers in an "Ealing-esque kinda-crime caper" with body-swap shenanigans.
How it did with audiences
On TMDB, users rate it 6.8 out of 10. That is a solid number for a haunted house story, though perhaps not high enough to warrant the specific kind of exorcism panic that usually follows such titles. It sits comfortably in the middle, which is where most possession stories end up.
