Ghost Project

This is a movie that was made with more passion than cash and it does show at times. The special effects were good and the music and photography worked. The acting however was uneven at best and downright flat at worst.

I like independent movies, some of them are really great and it is a refreshing change from slick Hollywood movies. This was watchable, so extra point for that. It was just that the story was a little over over the place. I think a tighter script may have helped and the acting needed to be a bit better.

There were a few great scares and there were a few tense moments, all up it was a good effort for a low budget flick.

This movie was made by nobodies and first-timers, on obviously no budget. For that it's actually quite good. Yes it's rough around the edges. But then it's a horror movie so it doesn't really have to make perfect sense.

As for the plot: Young techie types find old hardware that can make ghosts visible. Ghosts don't appreciate that very much. Bring in burned-down place with plenty of ghosts in it and go for it.

It's certainly on par with other horror movies that don't quite work despite having 100 times the budget and big names attached to them. Ghost Project's makers' next project will be much more polished and it's a workable first effort to be honest. The basics are all there, some well executed (jump scares and general mood mostly work), some not so much (love scenes only work if there was chemistry between the characters before it - but big movies make that mistake too).

As I said. Don't be cruel. A for effort.

This is a professional film. The actots and the direction are pro. Real cinema graphic quality camera shots. Trust me, this no shaky phone camera nonsense. Background music and sounds are perfect, not disjointed at all. All of the actors are at the same intensity. All lines are delivered and received naturally for the characters being portrayed. The editing is smooth and just right in conjunction with the music makes it all rife with suspense. Plenty of scary scenes for everyone. All the actors have foreign accents that's hard to place. This is a quality motion picture. Major studios should be taking a closelr look at these people. Professional in everyday. Not just a shaking camera experience. This isn't videography, it's film making for real.

Potential Story Poor Execution

Okay I couldn't watch this movie for more than 20 minutes because every scare that they try to do is just pulling someone into the darkness it's really dumb it's one of the cheapest effects you could come up with it's not scary there's no atmosphere they have potential for atmosphere but they never pull it off they rush it they open the oven too soon and the cake Falls before it even gets cooking but it has so much potential to be an interesting story and there's even potential for a meaningful story with the relationship of the girlfriend who died in the car accident and the use of VR there's so much potential but it's always wasted and there's such a there's no scares it's really poorly made and I understand why it has a 3.7 I rated a 3 I couldn't even watch more than 20 minutes because they really are so bad at it's trying to scare people and I understand they had a very low budget but they don't even really make an effort at all and there's no creativity in the scares whatsoever so I would have to recommend people give this one a complete pass.

Even with the low score and mixed reviews, the trailer caused me to give this a chance, but unfortunately the trailer contains the only good parts of this film. To it's credit for a low budget production it did get some points right. It's well shot and the sound production is excellent as is the soundtrack. The acting isn't bad, but it's obvious English is the second language for 2 of it's main cast and I found their dialogue difficult to understand. The giant failure of the movie is the lackluster script. The idea behind it was great, even loved the ending, but to make a movie entertaining you need a compelling script, scenes that add suspense, and thrills. As a horror movie this is a near complete failure. I struggled to stay awake. There is not one scene that stands out. The writing and directing destroyed what was a good idea for a horror film.
