"Back in 1965, Smithfield Square and other parts of the northside of Dublin were transformed into Berlin, to much excitement and hoopla.
Richard Burton was in town - with Liz Taylor in tow - to film The Spy Who Came In From The Cold."

I've seen Ghost Stories and Gerald's Game.
I really liked Ghost Stories.
Gerald's Game started off well but ended badly, like a lot of Stephen King. It's made by the same guys that made Haunting of Hill House/Bly Manor
Both are on Netflix
