HorrorBuff235 I really enjoyed this film. Going into it I was very sceptical as I have seen a lot of rubbish released lately and nothing that stands out. The casebook of Eddie Brewer goes back to films with a good story and slow burning terror rather than jump scares and gore. Although we are watching a documentary being shot, the viewer watches from the point of view of an outsider rather than a viewer of the documentary so we are privy to seeing things that aren't 'caught on tape'. The film slowly builds up so if you are looking for a horror that from the outset brings you blood and gore,things jumping out, CGI ghosts etc this film isn't going to be for you. However, if you enjoy films that have a bit of a ghost story then give this a go as you'll be pleasantly surprised. This is a low budget UK movie from Director & Writer Andrew Spencer. Cast members played their parts well especially our lead Ian Brooker who was wonderfully well cast and completely convincing as our middle aged, slightly tortured, ghost hunter with a past. A wonderful film - wish there were more like this, I may well have to watch again.

Ian I love this classically wonderful film. I've owned it for around 2 weeks and, already, I've watched it ELEVEN times, with TWO watchings on Christmas day, alone, for being nice instead of naughty.You'll glow over it, yourself, once you've seen it."The Casebook Of Eddie Brewer" is now on my topmost shelf (the only one I ever dust) and is highly unlikely to ever be found on any other.Watch as the excellent Ian Brooker breathes his effortless magic into the world's currently only believable paranormal investigator - it would be an error or undue criticism to view "The Casebook Of Eddie Brewer" as even being fiction, at all!Witness how realistically the ongoing warm-and-cool interaction plays out between Eddie and the documentary film crew accompanying him on his typical (and, sometimes, less so) house calls.Listen to the philosophies of Eddie as he encounters disagreeable or disrespectful individuals. Watch as Eddie stumbles upon a more than everyday case concerning demonic influences insidiously manipulating a little girl and confronting her distraught mother. Smile as Eddie is delighted at quickly being able to reassure an elderly couple that the worrying, suspected paranormal activity in their house is a sign that their undesirable neighbours are going to pot! Eddie Brewer is a paranormal investigator of a trustworthy and lovably old-school persuasion. For the betterment of future British film making, we should dearly hope that there will be more Eddie Brewer films - even, maybe, a TV series, because the available paranormal investigation material (in this country, alone) would never run out, and they'll not find a better actor to play this part - if you see the film, you'll see why. Get ready to make a new friend, on a screen near you!

Paul Hodge I felt that Ian imbued the role with just the right balance of earnest conviction and charlatanic cynicism making Eddie a thoroughly watchable and realistic protagonist. The slow but sure exposure of foibles and personal demons added great colour to the character.I'm just amazed that TV companies did not pick this up as I think the whole concept of Eddie and his research - especially his intellectualising of sometimes indubitable and intangible theory - makes for such a wonderful watch. With the flawed and fragile human condition at the centre of the piece, the ghost second, it provides the necessary connection that engages the audience.I thought Andrew Spencer's writing and direction marvellous and what immediately came to mind was the intoxicating, delicious thrills of the seminal Ghostwatch. I completely understand why Stephen Volk would be a fan!Above all, I thought the way Ian portrayed the character incredibly enlightening and entertaining and, most importantly, it left me wanting to know much more about the demons that drive Eddie.Tell me, will there be another episode in the world of Eddie Brewer?Regards, Paul

James Brown (jibonlineenterprise) ** SPOILERS ALERT** A low budget documentary-drama mystery, that isn't for the faint hearted, from first time director, Andrew Spencer. We follow the title character (played by Ian Brooker) as he undergoes a disturbing investigation into the paranormal after a number of encounters with a mysterious figure are reported.Brewer must try to bring an end to the strange goings on, but soon discovers another case he is involved with may have something to do with it.On a technical level, the sound design and musical score took the independent feature to another level. The atmosphere and ambiance created by Music Composer, Jamie Robertson was second to none as he demonstrated mastery of music.Overall, a nice little feature shot on the cheap which promises to do well in festivals and selected cinemas in the UK.
