Oh My Ghost

"Oh My Ghost" (2022) attempts to blend horror and comedy, but unfortunately ends up as a forgettable and uninspired misfire. With a weak plot, lackluster performances, and unfunny attempts at humor, this film fails to deliver on either front.

The film's narrative is a jumbled mess, lacking a clear direction or engaging storyline. The screenplay is riddled with clichés and predictable tropes, offering nothing new or exciting to the genre. The attempts at horror fall flat, with cheap jump scares and unconvincing special effects failing to create any genuine sense of dread or suspense.

The comedic elements are equally disappointing, with forced and unfunny jokes that often rely on outdated stereotypes and slapstick humor. The performances are lackluster, with the actors failing to bring any life or charisma to their underdeveloped characters.

Even the technical aspects of the film are subpar, with uninspired cinematography and a forgettable soundtrack. The overall execution is amateurish, leaving the viewer with a sense of disappointment and wasted potential.

"Oh My Ghost" is a film that is best forgotten. Its lack of originality, weak performances, and uninspired execution make it a cinematic misfire that fails to entertain or scare.

Okay the film in itself is bad, poor writing, poor dialogue, poor effects. Everything about it seems contrived, uninspired and ultimately, worst of all, boring. There is nothing funny or humorous about this "comedy horror" neither is there anything frightening or even unsettling in the slightest. It seems to define comedy as silly faces and horror as an occasional flash of lightning.

Most confusing though is the censorship. There are upskirt shots, revealing outfits and provocative dancing, though when cleavage is on screen it's too much and they put an obnoxious blur over it which serves to draw the eye to the area even more because it's distracting. The film starts with a disclaimer that it does not encourage violence against women, however the movie features scenes of battle, a female ruler slaughtering hordes of men without remorse and even keeping a man in a cage in her chambers. It would atleast make sense if they said "this film does not encourage violence of any kind" but yet they chose to be exclusionary about it. It is confusing.

...I couldn't give a 0. They spent so much money on something with such a bad screenplay, dialogues and acting. Double meaning dialogues and scenes that doesn't work at all, over glamour for no reason.

I understand the need and market for movies of this kind, but why don't they make it good. The scary scenes doesn't work with invoking any kind of scare or emotion. Even the cheap jump scares sections were so bad. Not scary and not funny. It's neither there or neither here.

Had so many Vijay TV comedians in the movie, but they all were so underused. I really wish all the comedians (comali's) from Vijay TV really get a character in the movie which justifies using them and gives them some acting scope.
