The Blackwell Ghost 6

Other horror films I like lots, for context: Hereditary; It Follows; Halloween; Us; The Host; Ringu (Japanese Ring); Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum; The Haunting of Hill House; Turn of the Screw; Cabin in the Woods

Tl; dr: Really fun viewing, and worth watching all the (short) films. Would be good on Halloween! Definitely watch in order for maximum enjoyment.

Color me shocked. I went into this film series with very low expectations. In fact, I started halfway through the series because someone said that would be fine. Honestly? I was a bit confused and figured I would just start back at the beginning. I'm now convinced you SHOULD watch all the way through; the character grows on you. That matters.

Started out by hardly paying attention and mostly watching my phone, until I realized I was riveted, watching the TV more than my phone. (My teenage son had the same experience when I watched it with him the second time through.)

By number 6, I was hooked to the screen. I even downloaded 4-6 to watch on a flight to Florida - and barely realized I'd flown! I won't provide spoilers but will say that the last one has an amazing ending that I loved. My teenage son agreed - and he's a horror snob (A24 films only!!) - so that's saying a lot.

Definitely watch this. Turner Clay is an amazing human and tells a really good story with the series. Start at film #1, and you'll hopefully be as hooked as I was by the time you get here! Definitely worth the build to the end.

This is the first Blackwell Ghost that does not scare me. Though the sweet story it does tell is fatherly and loving it's not enough of a story to hold my interest without the scary element; after all, that what we're here for, the scary element. In this the sixth installment wherein Turner Clay tries to garner proof of ghosts, of afterlife, we are treated to a story about his young wife's death. Her passing leaves him a widower raising his two infants. He's obviously a doting dad but the babies are usually in daycare or with his mother. That way he can chase ghosts without exposing the children to possible peril. He finds a package on his doorstep left by a mysterious stranger in the middle of the night. In this box is his dead wife's old keyboard. Lo and behold it plays spontaneously. Or is it spontaneous? It can't be, not in the Blackwell world. It's got to be his sweet wife's attempt to communicate with her beloved family.

Once again a magnificent entry in the series! The build up and momentum of everything combined is really coming out in the entry as well. My only downside was the very loud background music over the whole of part 6. The tense moments can be amplified from time to time but it was very available when it could've been quite.

Seeing Clays office and the place where it has been created all together with every former poster was a really cool touch. Overall giving this a 7/10 but was hoping it would've toned down on the background music from time to time.

Additionally! If you're new to the series, go watch them all and binge away, its better then paranormal activity in my opinion. The level of realism is amazing!

I would not recommend just jumping in with #6, its possible but the background with the others will help. What's enjoyable is this movie has little to do with the original Blackwell Ghost but the growth of the main character over time. An enjoyable, spooky and heartfelt 6th movie.

The plot is bizarre on so many levels. The person/ghost whom the movie is centered upon would not go about scaring the crap out of him (and the 2 other characters). However, by choosing that person, the scares are going to have to come from that person. He pigeonholed himself.

I'm a fan of the series. This felt like a Goodbye. I can totally appreciate him wanting to end the movie (and possibly the series) on a happy note. This just wasn't the way. If he did intend of this being the end, I hope he will reconsider. He's brought us a very cool franchise. I have no doubt that he can end it on a high note, if he is indeed calling it quits.
