Ghost Project

You can glean the whole plot from the synopsis and the fine reviews posted here.

So I'll _try_ to add something a bit different.

As soon as the movie opens, we get right into the core of the concept. And *Kudos* to the director and screen writer for not dithering about with useless filler, meaningless " romance" and boring back stories.

Our protagonist stumbles upon some kind of vintage 1950's technological device in an old neighbors' garage. This oddly beautiful device has a _very_ cool Steampunk aesthetic- old toggle switches, heat sinks, VU meters and old radio tubes. Ostensibly, it appears to be a radar-like device. It's purpose is unclear- but not for long!

On the work table in front of the device, there's a very authentic, old-timey NASA tech manual with well worn, yellowed pages. NASA? Oh, I love this already. These are important little details because they enhance the visual aesthetic, provide a time frame for when the device was built and most importantly, what the machine does. It's a *Ghost Finder!* and it works! NASA tech and Ghosts? I love it!

Naturally, these kids being computer tech whizzes, turn this device into an APP for their phones... Don't ask. They simply did it. Go along with it.

*Cool, techy supernatural mayhem ensues.* I was not disappointed, as I loved the concept and how well they produced a quality film on a shoe string budget. Terrific young actors. Dramatic and moody scene illumination. Tight dialogue.

What's not to love?

I dont think this film was rated fairly. Yes it might be a low budget straight to dvd film but it does have some good stuff to give. So we have this group of tech people. They find some old hardware and re-enginer it so that it can be turned into an app that can help them see ghostsl brian one of the members uses it in a vr and sees his deceased girlfriend again. Its not long though before we relise that something has angered the ghosts from the spirit realm and if our group of techs seem them they will really be in some serious trouble. One thing this film did really well to me was the cgi. I thought the way the ghosts were captured and the drill that seemed to fly invisbley was pretty seemless. I overall enjoyed this movie and sure the acting is a little bad but hey the cast did their best and to me thats all that maters.

It was slow on the draw but I found it very exciting it kept my interest and that is hard for especially for me cuz I have seen a ton tons of horror movies and paranormal movies but this one really did keep my interest and I enjoyed it I wish there would be a sequel to it where the computer that they started up with the machine that they did is now gone viral all over the world and now spirits that were in the factory are now going through the computer system and now causing havoc in other people's homes when they get the app cuz the app has gone viral that would be awesome even more just an idea.

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.

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.
