The Spirit of Christmas (2015 TV Movie)
7/10
A romance with a real ghost
19 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is a ghost story and the ghost is purported to be real. If you believe in ghosts, fine. If, like most people, you don't believe in ghosts then either suspend reality or watch something else. I don't usually watch ghost stories, but I think this one is a bit unusual. For one thing, the "ghost" is corporeal for 12 days up to Christmas. About a third of the way in after Daniel and Kate reach a peace of sorts, we find that there is another ghost.

We know from the first scene that Daniel was struck on the head by an unknow person. He doesn't remember that at all until a little over half way and we immediately get two suspects. Then suddenly, that mystery gets put in the background. Actually, it turns out there's more than one mystery.

It's too bad that Kate's boss kept interfering with her relationship with Daniel, because that just took away from their time together and Jen Lilly and Thomas Beaudoin had chemistry. That was the story I wanted to see.

The climax and the ending are a bit confusing. The rules of the situation seem to change without explanation. That's probably enough of a spoiler to figure out the outcome, but then we pretty much expected this outcome would occur somehow.
