Mystics

Another bad Irish movie. This one has two great actors (O'Shea and Kelly) conning people that they can contact dead relatives. It's the kind of movie that could have been a classic - if made back in the '50s! Contrived, unfunny, and unoriginal. Probably sounded great on paper - aimed at the Waking Ned market? Terrible acting too - lots of familiar faces turning up for the latest pay cheque. Really sad stuff.
