Ghosthunters

I signed up for IMDb just to write this review. I think that is an important thing to make note of. I came into possession of this movie and saw NO reviews of it, only a semi-favorable rating. I thought, "I can enjoy a bad horror movie now and again, so why not give it a go? I should not have given it a go.

Whenever you start a horror movie and the "Asylum" logo appears on screen, you already know what to expect. Unless you're drunk, you will not enjoy this movie.

The acting is bad. The visuals are mediocre. The story is uninteresting and you will predict the ending at around the 30 minute mark of the movie. You may ask yourself if you should even bother continuing to watch at this point, the answer is no.

There is a woman in this movie who is supposed to be hacking for some reason, I guess she's hacking ghosts? I stopped paying attention to what she was supposed to be doing when I realized that her computer screen was just a random number generator and she was mashing keys haphazardly the entire time.

There is a scene where shadowy ghoulish figures appear - however it is clear that they are just men in black morph suits, complete with visible wrinkles and seams.

The best part of the film is right at the end when the credits are over and you can go reflect about how you wasted about 90 minutes of your life and you will never get them back.

So uninteresting, even watching at night, nothing, even having spirits, nothing, even though the story is heavy, nothing, something was missing, because nothing got involved, the carnage, cannibalism, sexual violence, the film did not convince, despite my style preferred... Regular, very regular, or rather, irregular... Except the scene that imitates the exorcist, I'm afraid ... Exception of the Trash that we don't love ...

Some of the premises of detecting ghosts and decoding and the use of magnets and so on are really pretty funny. I mean where do they dream this stuff up from. It turns from ghost hunt to something more like possessed by ghosts and just turns into a steaming pile. It's mildly amusing to watch. Typical of Asylum really. You have to laugh at it because it's so ludicrous.

This was a very feeble attempt at making a serious scientific scary movie. At no point during this movie did I experience even an iota of fear or dread. It was one cliche after another stolen from some of the best scary movies but failing miserably in its execution and delivery. I may as well have watched this one with all the lights on (I always watch scary movies with all the lights off for maximum effect) and the experience would have been the same. The plot twist at the end was absolutely ridiculous and nonsensical. Which basically sums up the movie. Don't waste 90 minutes on this you'll only walk away saying wtf.

Failed. They took a decent Ghostbusters type premise and turned it into something.....not so special. Really turned quite disappointing toward the end and then really the ending itself made little sense at all. This is one to avoid.
