Ghost Track is a chilling British revenge horror film set to release on October 31, 2025, perfectly timed for Halloween. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Emily Swanson, known for her atmospheric horror works, the film stars Florence Pugh as Olivia Hargrove, alongside Andrew Scott and Olivia Cooke in pivotal roles.
The movie was produced on a moderate budget of $25 million, with much of the cost going into creating the eerie, period-accurate setting of the abandoned Victorian manor and the hauntingly realistic recreation of the derelict railway. The production team also utilized a mix of practical effects and subtle CGI to bring the spectral “ghost train” to life, earning praise during test screenings for its chilling, immersive visuals.
The story follows Olivia Hargrove, a grieving widow who inherits a remote manor tied to the site of a 1923 train disaster. As she unravels the sinister history of her new home, Olivia becomes entangled with the vengeful spirits of the train crash victims, led by the tragic ghost of Eliza Marlowe. The climax sees Olivia using the spirits’ rage to exact vengeance on her late husband’s descendants, who are revealed to have dark ties to the crash and her husband’s death.
