A group of students focus on a spooky myth about a local railway museum and they plan on definitively answering the question if the place is actually haunted by a former conductor who became a serial killer and eventually met his end via splattering by train. Hell of a backstory for your haunting. Now, being students and having no sway on the workings of anything substantial, the trio sneak into the place after hours and record their findings after the museum head denies them the opportunity to come in after they close. There’s insurance purposes to consider, even in Australia and as interesting as a railway museum may be in the light of day, you’re not gonna find anything spooky while the sun is shining. That’s how this likable group of aspiring filmmakers get into the supernatural predicament when the building closes and they come into contact with something sinister. The ghostly activity starts off small and escalates as it always does but is nice and creepy given the setting. Three become two and the duo attempt to track down their missing sound man before fleeing the premises which are growing creepier by the second. I’ve never had much interest in trains but as my visit to a yarn museum taught me, museums make anything fascinating. So, we get a good chunk of time spent going through the sites and sounds of the place and I’m more than fine with that. Hell, it may not have the same atmosphere of an abandoned insane asylum but it’s way more fascinating. And you know what else is great about museums? They’re fucking terrifying when everyone has left. A solid forty-five minutes of found footage terror.
