    Girl Haunts Boy took me by complete surprise

    As someone who usually steers clear of romance movies, Girl Haunts Boy took me by complete surprise. It's not your typical love story-it's an enchanting mix of humor, heartfelt emotion, and an irresistible touch of the supernatural. The film struck a rare balance between being adorably fresh and deeply emotional, keeping me glued to the screen the entire time.

    The chemistry between the two leads was simply magical. Their dynamic felt so genuine and natural that I couldn't help but root for them. From their witty banter to the quiet, tender moments, their connection completely drew me in.

    What really sets Girl Haunts Boy apart is its unique tone. While the movie is filled with laugh-out-loud moments and quirky charm, there's an underlying sadness that tugs at your heartstrings. Somehow, though, it never feels heavy-it's more of a bittersweet, uplifting sadness. I cried so much, but I with a happy, full heart.

    If you're looking for a romance that feels fresh, funny, and deeply touching, Girl Haunts Boy is a must-watch. Even if romance isn't your usual genre (like me), this film might just surprise you. It's a beautiful reminder that love, in all its forms, can be hauntingly unforgettable.

    Tears of Joy

    A sweet ghost story that slows down the pace and provides a touching theme of cherishing memories while still living in the present to the fullest. The acting and direction managed to evoke strong emotional responses which may be unexpected by viewers who thought they were hardened against sentimentality. Not for those looking for fast paced thrills. Almost gave up on it thinking it was dull but glad to stick with it for a good cry. The sci-fi time period disparity was handled quite nicely and the entire story was rendered very tastefully. It was a pleasure to be entertained without hearing the Lord's name used in vain or seeing anybody get shot or stabbed. A family film that provides a recreational retreat experience from which you come out refreshed and entertained. Its a good thing that such a selection is still available in the movie database.

    Susie Q remake done very nice

    Watched with my wife and it was a quick fun movie that was a change of pace from the regular halloween releases the last few years. Definitely recommend for teens and pre-teens or just a nice couples movie to relax to. When it was over sitting with my wife we kept talking about it being so familiar and after some searching we remembered the old Disney movie with the Pink Power Ranger. Not exactly the same and (apparently there is no streaming copy of Susie Q available). Girl Haunts boy was Still a good watch with nice music and the actors did a nice job with a ghostly romance story. If you can find a copy of Susie Q after I would recommend for a follow up to this one.

    Girl Haunts Boy was honestly a pleasant surprise.

    Girl Haunts Boy was honestly a pleasant surprise. It had that cozy, slightly quirky vibe that works well for a supernatural romance, and the directing kept things grounded even when the story leaned into the more whimsical moments. Emily Ting handled the pacing pretty well, giving the characters enough space to grow without dragging the plot. The production was clean and polished without feeling too polished, if that makes sense. It had a kind of indie spirit but looked and sounded like a proper feature.

    Acting-wise, both Peyton List and Michael Cimino brought a lot of charm and sincerity to their roles. They had great chemistry, and it helped carry the emotional beats without things feeling forced. The script kept things light without losing its emotional core, which made it easy to connect with the characters. Nothing felt over-explained or too dramatic. The score was subtle but nicely done, and the cinematography had some soft, warm tones that gave the film a nice visual texture. It's one of those films that doesn't scream for attention but ends up sticking with you a bit after. Definitely worth a watch.

    What a beautiful movie

    Wow, what a beautiful movie with an original story! I think Peyton List and Michael Cimino were perfect casting and acted so well together. The story was so hauntingly beautiful even though it was sometimes sad. The music was also really well done and I loved the original songs, wish i could find them on Spotify or Apple music. The only reason I only gave this movie nine stars instead of ten is because while I understand why the movie ended the way it did and I thought it was a great ending, the romantic in me would have loved a different ending even more! I really do think this story has a wonderful message though so really the current ending perfectly serves that message. I definitely recommend watching it.
