Blind Ghost

"Blind Ghost" is a true "WTF?" movie. The movie is about Lily (Alix Villaret), who is blinded in an accident, and her family, who are a very odd crew indeed -- one aunt is in a wheelchair, one aunt keeps on saying they should let her die, there's an uncle that has tattooed his entire head to appear like he's wearing a helmet, and one normal relative who I think is her sister (although it's not really made clear). The police fear that the accident was no accident, so a detective is hired to protect Lily, and she also seems to possibly be contacted by a ghost.

The movie is really a mess. Plotlines start and stop left and right - we'll see someone apparently planning something and then it's dropped. Characters act in crazy ways -- for example, the weird lawyer bursts in on a family gathering, strips his shirt off and starts guzzling beers, the detective says he'd rather sleep on a stoop than a couch and keeps mouse traps handy, Lily resists training in braille and the instructor just hurls insults at her. And the whole thing ends with the writer/director (who oddly doesn't take a credit) just throwing twist after twist after twist in the space of a couple of minutes, and none of them make sense and they completely contradict major plot points.

Don't like to hate on low budget movies -- although I do question the "low budget" designation since it is filmed on palatial sets -- I mean just gorgeous, huge magnificent houses and estates -- and the actors are clearly giving it their all, but this one is rough.

Tried to make a movie and this was the result. If you're a fan of lousy community theater and plots that make no sense, this is the movie for you!

I loved it because it is soooo bad ... bad actors doing super serious lines, inexplicable developments, main character sometimes forgets she blind. A lot of unpack here 🤣🤣🤣

Granted, I had virtually no idea what I was getting into here, as I sat down to watch the the horror/thriller movie titled "Blind Ghost". I found the title to be alluring and the movie's cover/poster actually was fair enough, not top of the line, but it was adequate enough.

So writer and director Stuart Paul had every opportunity to impress and bedazzle me here with the 2021 movie "Blind Ghost".

Perhaps the movie was titled "Blind Ghost" because it was actually written by a blind ghost? Wow, are you kidding me, this movie's script and storyline was just atrocious. It was so poorly written that it was painful to sit through. The concept idea was a mess. The characters were so bland and monotonous that you were falling asleep. The dialogue was just so wooden and rigid that it felt like it was composed by randomly drawing sentences from a hat, as to it being properly written dialogue.

I endure a staggering 30 minutes of this ordeal titled "Blind Ghost", then I was ready to claw out my eyes and rip off my ears. The acting was so wooden and devoid of emotion that it was just ridiculous to witness. And the fact that the entire movie just fell short of delivering even anything remotely entertaining just didn't help to sell the movie or win me over.

Now, I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. And that is usually something I enjoy in movies, as the performers aren't associated with previously portrayed characters or roles. But wow, the cast ensemble in this movie weren't cutting it, not even remotely. The acting performances didn't even feel up to par with what you'd see in a high school theater show.

And it didn't really help much that the characters had the appeal of wet cardboard and had the most poorly written dialogue handed to them.

Nay, "Blind Ghost" was a swing and a miss, and a big one at that. I have no intention of returning to watch the rest of this movie, as nothing in the 30 minutes I suffered through appealed to me in any way.

My rating of writer and director Stuart Paul's "Blind Ghost" lands on a generous two out of ten stars, mostly because there was something fair enough to the production value.
