The Blackwell Ghost 7

Well, I absolutely loved it! Bought it on digital today as soon as I heard it was out! Not disappointed at all! Bern buying and watching these movies as they've come out and not disappointed yet. This one goes rightbup there with the first six. I love that he's added a new human enemy element to this one so the stories can continue while yet still giving us that paranormal element we've come to know and love!! Very scary, especially that ending. Almost gave that slasher movie nod while still staying true to it's paranormal roots! I can't wait for the story yet again "to be continued!" I want to see more!

Much like the sixth Blackwell Ghost movie this has no scares. Not only that but the coincidences are too much, they don't contribute to flow. It's more like they obviously push. This is more of a crime story than a horror story, and only a so-so one at that. Turner Clay is still interesting to watch as a person and as a daddy and widower, but none of the elements in this flick are compelling, they are only interesting, and only a little. Since Turner lost his wife to cancer he still looks for her to try to get in touch because he's a firm believer in ghosts now that he's encountered them in his quest to prove their existence. He goes back down to Florida when he buys the Lightfoot house. The banging and usual ghostly activities feel contrived and do not feel scary. Instead we get a live serial killer human. Turner and his cop friends swallow every note from this killer character without any kind of evidence to back them up.

I loved this 7th one. Awesome way to leave us on a cliffhanger. Cannot wait to see the 8th one. Love the idea and the contrast/connection between all the ones you've made so far. I hope you bring more paranormal back into the 8th one, but continue your search for the "?". Or even start looking at new homes and do some more investigating. Keep going with these. My cousin and I love them. I haven't seen like any bad reviews on these, so if you have not watched this 10/10 recommend. It'll be hard to leave after just watching the first one. You're gonna want to watch all the rest of them shortly after.

I enjoyed all of the previous titles in this series. In the beginning, it really felt like it could have been a documentary, but as it kept going, the immersive reality of the series has been on the downslope. This is the point in the series at which there is no longer any question that this is scripted and not a real documentary. The natural feel of previous versions is lost, and you're left with the feeling that you're watching a very mediocre and completely scripted horror film. Shots that are supposed to be in an environment look like they're clearly shot on green screen, the police officer enlisting the help of Clay moves from unlikely in the previous titles to completely unbelieveable. The antagonist becomes unbelievable, obviously trying to get caught, stopping a hair's width short of leaving a map of his location with a full confession saying "I did all of the bad stuff, find me where X marks the spot on this map". Clearly he intends to make another movie in this franchaise, and while I really hope that the next installment fixes some of the mistakes made in this one, as things stand, I feel like he's gone from pushing his luck with milking this for sequels to clearly crossing the line. This title lacks the scares of previous installments, but foremost breaks the illusion that he established in previous films that make this believeable as a documentary. He's clearly running out of good ideas for the franchaise, and poorly done green screens in what's supposed to be real life, clunky acting with even clunkier dialog leaves this as the movie that even for fans of the series that he should have stopped before making. I'm undecided on whether he should try and get it back on the rails with the next movie, or whether he should just cut his losses at this point.

This is a really confusing movie. It has nothing to do with a ghost.

It's basically about a (perhaps) killer who is now stalking some dude in FLorida who fims it all.

Oh, yes, there are some ghosty things in the film, but that's not the plot.

And then there's the telephone guy who represents who, I don't know. You cant even understand him and he gets subtitles. Is this the FBI? I dunno. It's never explained.

To add insult to injury, there are some really silly scenes. Like in the beginning the guy says he had to move all his furniture into the kitche because of a leak. Only the kitchen has no furniture.

But the big bit of nonesense is the camera he finds in the woods. If this was placed there by the serial killer, why doesnt he get it checked for fingerprints?

In all this was a waste of my time.
