Lust, revenge and murder aren't what come to mind (for most people anyway) when you hear the words "the numismatist". But the Internet Movie Database blurb for the 2018 UK movie I came across this week is "Personal history and ancient legend interweave in a complex narrative of lust, revenge and murder." It's a 21-minute horror short titled "The Numismatist." -Editor

When a ghostly legend and a horrifying reality become entwined, what steps would you take to save your own sanity? Haunted by a painful mistake, Robert struggles to come to terms with the aggressive witch hunt building up around him. At the height of his desperate escape he uncovers a strange ancient coin that comes with a disturbing and confused warning. A ghostly apparition and the nightmares of his own past weave together as Robert urgently tries to unearth the truth behind a devastating ghost story and to confront his own fears. The Numismatist is a modern interpretation of the classic ghost story paradigm.

"The fine job of Jim Byrne is the basic motif to see this new version of classic ghost stories. A simple portrait of frustrations, a coin and the past of it, a museum and a field and not ordinary scarecrow. A decent film, nice twist and reasonable answers."

Has anyone seen or heard of this before? -Editor
