Ghosts That Still Walk

When I rented this movie I thought I was going to see a horror-movie. However, there is little horror in this typical seventies mystery-drama directed by strange James T. Flocker. Nice-looking Matt Boston carries the picture with his fine performance and the typical strange atmosphere of Flocker's movies is all-present.

"Ghosts That Still Walk" is the tale of a fifteen year old boy Mark possessed by the vengeful spirit of a Indian medicine man and illustrates various related paranormal phenomena connected to an ancient curse including the most memorable bit of rolling and flying desert stones.There is also a haunted cavern and an invisible force,which takes control of the elderly couple's RV."Ghosts That Still Walk" looks cheap and is full of dull sequences.But the rolling stones are a total hoot and the acting is decent.The plot does make a little sense,but if you are into bizarre cinema check this low-budget oddity out.7 rolling stones out of 10.

The movie seems to have been assembled piecemeal. There are flashbacks from hypnosis sessions and journals. Sadly not much happens in them. The individual stories are filled with padding like a couple extended RV chase/out of control sequences. There are also long pointless conversations that lead nowhere and don't help move the plot along. It is painfully boring. The idea of the Indian mummies as a plot device tying every thing together just doesn't work.

I like these regionally made low budget movies but this is one that I just can't recommend. I had never heard of this one before and I can see why,

of watching this as a child. Although I'll probably find it god-awful now, it was kind-of spooky stuff as I was only seven or so. I also recall working on a Saturday-afternoon puzzle while watching it, so I wasn't really paying much attention. However, the scene with the rolling boulders has been burnt into my mind ever since. I've asked numerous people if they've seen this flick but to no avail. 12 years ago, one person mentioned that, possibly, he had seen it, but he thought it merely a dream; a fanciful piffle like wind. It's no dream, my friend. No dreaming now. Again, I haven't seen it since then, but I can't wait to find a copy and stuff it into my VCR. Anything that can stay embedded in my mind's eye for 23 years deserves a '10'.

My grandmother bought me this film when I was 5 (I've always love scary movies) and even then I enjoyed it. The atmosphere is awesome and the story original and entertaining. I especially love the scenes where the RV is under attack in the desert. The rocks are actually convincing for such a low-budget flick. The acting is above average for these kinds of films and the music is eerie. This is definitely an uder-rated gem. I recommend it to anyone who likes these strange films from the late seventies, early eighties such as "Alice, Sweet Alice", "Poor Pretty Eddie", "Nightmare", "Hospital Massacre", and "Return of the Aliens, the Deadly Spawn". Definitely a classic!!
