I feel like a kid who was curious about something and regretted satisfying that curiosity.
I wish I never waisted my time on this gross, ridiculous mess of a film.
Disappointed is an understatement.
Not sure why the writer/directer (which is a problem in itself, no checks/balances = terrible movie like this one) would ever think people want to watch other people doing the things they did in this film. And animal violence isn't nearly as edgy and cool as film makers like to think. Not sure why it's increasingly common. Shock value I guess. Cheap drama perhaps.
This movie is just more overrated "art" thinking it's portraying something deep or worth while. Nah, don't be fooled. It's not worth your while.
At least I learned that this writer/directer is not for me and I'll steer clear in the future.

This movie should've been called "Alice Krige's Breasts."
I just watched this for the first time because of the good reviews on here, surprised that I'd never even heard of it before. Now I know why.
The beginning of this movie put me in mind of The Changeling (1980) with the snowy scenes, the ominous snowplow, music box, a dark secret, and even Melvyn Douglas. I thought maybe it was written and/or directed by the same person, but thankfully I was wrong. The Changeling was far superior and I'm glad it's not connected to Ghost Story.
I was very disappointed after forcing myself to sit through this entire movie. It was often very boring and had way too much gratuitous nudity, exploiting a young woman. It seemed to go in forever, and it was more bizarre than scary.
Also, IMO they could've done without the weirdo squatter duo entirely. That was just odd and uninteresting.
I just don't understand why all the positive reviews. It's been compared to The Changeling but it's nowhere near as good. Just because you liked the book doesn't mean you have to like the movie.
My advice: if you want a good, scary classic "ghost story" that you can watch with the fam, skip this and just watch The Changeling.
