A Town Full of Ghosts

Quite the unique independent horror movie. We didn't watch a trailer just went for it and were happy we did. I think trailers often ruin movie experiences. This is about a gorgeous couple who buy a literal ghost town in the hopes to turn it into some kind of attraction. I don't know where this was filmed but I want to go there and get stoned. Obviously some horror ensues. Nothing ground breaking but definitely not a bad movie. I enjoyed from start to finish. All the actors are A+ and very watchable. I would recommend.

I actually seldom watch footage found movies as they give me a headache with shaky camera work. I also have low expectations for these type of indie films. However I will say that this exceeded my expectations. I was pleased that it was not even an hour and a half long and it kept my interest the entire time. The acting was halfway decent and the photography was pretty good as well. The setting was kind of creepy as another reviewer has said. I thought the maze scenes were effective. It was almost giving me some The Shining vibes. I wouldn't say it was particularly scary, but more a slow buildup to a pretty good ending. My rating is for a comparable film of this genre so keep that in mind. I don't compare these type of movies to Academy award-winning films. So the ratings to movies for me are according to genre and budget. All in all I think this was above average for a found footage type of movie. I was pleasantly surprised.

I think the short run time of this film means it doesn't over stay it's welcome, or have pacing issues. Found footage isn't always great, because too much shaky cam gives me headaches. This is better than most found footage as a whole.

I liked the fact it's done from the perspective of someone trying to do up a ghost town, and post it on social media. He brings in a cousin who is better at camera work. Which I think is a great excuse to have nicer looking footage.

The acting is great, and I like the fact it slowly gets creepy before hell breaks loose. It had a great atmosphere, and I think the location helps with that a lot. The location is stunning.

I didn't like the weird stripe effects at the end, like why??

I enjoyed it. It's not winning any awards, but it pretty good. I give it an A for the creepy location. C'mon, it's a ghost town. I love films about abandoned places / towns. A couple sells everything to but a ghost town in hops of making it a money generating travel destination. (The woman isn't too keen on the idea) Of course in a ghost town you will have ghosts. There are some creepy scenes. I have definitely seen much much much worse.

I know that the internet has made professional movie critics out of anyone able to use the Internet, but I guess I don't fit in with them. It's like everyone turned into Gordon Ramsey the film critic.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with the 2022 horror movie titled "A Town Full of Ghosts" prior to sitting down to watch it. And had I been familiar with it and known it was a 'found footage' movie, I wouldn't have given the movie the time of day. I absolutely loathe that subgenre of movies, as they are usually nothing more than amateurish attempts to make movies with a handheld camera.

The storyline in "A Town Full of Ghosts", as written by writer and director Isaac Rodriguez, was actually not all that bad. But the movie suffered terribly from being a 'found footage' movie, and that totally drained away my will and interest to really delve into this movie. Suffice it to say that I didn't stick around to the end of this ordeal.

The whole concept of 'found footage', social media video-makers, content makers, influencers, or whatever these type of losers call themselves, just doesn't appeal to me. And thus, "A Town Full of Ghosts" was a bitter pill to swallow.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but then again, I can't claim that I was particularly impressed or bedazzled by what I witnessed on the screen, as I just can't take the 'found footage' genre seriously.

Visually, then you're not in for anything grand here.

If you enjoy horror movies, do yourself a favor and skip on this one. It just simply isn't worth the effort. If you, however, enjoy the travesty that is 'found footage' films, then you might enjoy this 2022 movie from writer and director Isaac Rodriguez.

My rating of "A Town Full of Ghosts" lands on a two out of ten stars.
