About this movie

Scrooge gets a ghostly Christmas visit he never wished for in this dark version of the classic Dickens tale. - This is the darkest, most ghostly version of this story ever made. It stays true to the original feel of the Dickens story, while turning up the creepiness. A range of well known Irish and English actors makes up the cast. On the anniversary of his business partner's death, Ebenezer Scrooge finds unwelcome company in the form of three spirits from Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come.

My wife and I love "The Christmas Carol" story, Unfortunately we thought this was most likely the worst version we have ever seen. Be cautious when renting it and do not expect good acting, also it is not spooky by any means. This of course is only our opinion.

This has nice atmosphere and is conducted rather like a stage play or an episode of Masterpiece Theater. It's definitely creepier than some versions, but it's not at all "horror"...Scrooge is a genuinely unlikable cold, small hearted nerd in late middle age rather than a comical burlesque of a grumpy old man, which gives it a touch of reality.

A poor shoddy attempt at turning a good old Christmas classic into a horror story. Scenes are terrible, music is horrible. So bad that I didn't even want to watch the whole thing because of how awful it is. Not worth the money to rent or buy and not worth the time to watch.
