The Ghost Trap

The story is compelling with great performances by the actors. The coast of Maine is a beautiful background and setting for the film. The story is unique in that it depicts everyday people struggling with real life issues of love, making a living and family conflict. The ending is heartbreaking. The cinematography is outstanding especially the underwater scenes. The film is authentic in its depiction of how-to lobster. Pulling traps, maneuvering the lobster boats and bating the traps. All show the producers were concerned with realism.

Mainers will recognize many of the locations that appear in the surrounding scenes. The music is original and blends well with the scenes. The Editing of the film is first class.
