Alice Marsh, a recently widowed woman, moves into an old stone house that was built in the 1700's. It doesn't bother her that there are rumors that it is haunted. That is, until one day she walks into a room and sees a human shaped shadow on the wall, which quickly vanishes. Then, stuff starts moving around the house, like a mirror on her bed, which creeps her out. She confides all this to her Aunt Gert, who lives nearby. She calls in a psychic to help deal with this and they contact Evan Straw, who doesn't want to leave. But at the same time Alice's dead husband decides to contact her, which makes it all even more confusing. Then they call in another supernatural expert, a Russian guy named Peter (Mike Legge), who has a reputation of getting rid of ghosts. He can actually see spiritual vortexes. Peter immediately makes contact with Evan and the ghost says that he needs the woman, for some reason. Exactly what the entity actually is is very intriguing and I don't think I've ever seen this tackled in a movie before.
Writer/Director Mike Legge's first serious movie is a success on many levels--it's well acted, interesting and will keep you guessing. EVAN STRAW is also one of the best ghost stories I've seen in a long while.
