The ghostly residents of Button House return in this full-length feature film, which brilliantly translates the beloved TV series to the big screen with hilarious comedy and genuine emotional depth!
Months after Alison and Mike move out, the mansion’s hotel redevelopment stalls due to disruptive eco-protesters. Desperate to contact their living friends for help, the ghosts get an unexpected break when local teenagers sneak in for an amateur séance.
The ritual goes hilariously awry, triggering a chaotic body-swap that allows the trouserless, sleazy politician ghost, Julian, to possess a teenage ghost hunter named Jack. As Julian joyfully explores the modern outside world for the first time in decades, Jack is left stranded on the “ghost side,” receiving a frantic crash course in the afterlife while the gang uncovers a dangerous risk of permanent, life-or-death consequences.
The film breaks free from the sitcom’s original 30-minute runtime to unleash an entirely new level of cinematic giddiness, silliness, and adventure. It reunites the unassailable original cast and delivers the same heart warming, feel-good family humor that made the BBC show a smash hit. Watching the ghosts navigate the world beyond the manor boundaries introduces a brilliant, high-stakes narrative dynamic that serves as a hilarious and perfect love letter to fans and newcomers
