Decent horror by numbers.
Ghost House is worth a watch, it's a decent horror, with a few good moments, some decent scares, and it's well acted.
My criticisms would come from the fact that it contains virtually every single horror cliche in existence. We have the wise woman, the long haired female ghost, an English villain, arched backs, a ceremony, literally everything you would expect to see in a horror film is on show here.
Despite all that though, it is still a good watch, the beginning is very atmospheric, and the way in which the young couple are manipated into trouble is very well done.
It's unsurprising, but decent. 6/10

A Genuine Ghost Story
On the arrival in Thailand, the Americans Jim (James Landry Hébert) and his girlfriend Julie (Scout Taylor-Compton) hire the polite chauffeur Gogo (Michael S. New) and his van at the airport. They sightsee Bangkok and learn the legend of the ghost houses, miniature houses where spirits peacefully live and do not haunt the living. Then Jim proposes Julie to marry him with an engagement ring. They meet the British Robert (Russell Geoffrey Banks) and Billy (Rich Lee Gray) in the hotel lobby and are invited to celebrate their engagement with them. Robert summons Jim to visit a fleshpots and Billy stays outside with Julie. When they leave the spot, Julie has an argument with Jim that is drunken and accepts Robert's invitation to visit ghost houses at the outskirts. Robert wears Julie's scarf about a doll's neck and then he flees with Billy leaving the American couple in the middle of nowhere. Julie does not feel well and Jim calls Gogo to find them and take Julie to a hospital. However, when Gogo sees Julie, he takes her to a nearby village where his aunts live. Then they take Julie to a monk that wears amulets about her wrist and Julie recovers. They return to the hotel and when Julie removes her amulets, she has dreadful visions. What has Robert done with Julie?
"Ghost Story" is a totally underrated horror film with a genuine ghost story. The creepy and spooky screenplay does not have flaws and explores the beauties and beliefs of the exotic Thailand with magnificent locations. The few special effects are excellent. The cast is great and the unknown Scout Taylor-Compton is a beautiful woman and has top-notch performance. In the en, "Ghost Story" is one of the best recently released horror film. My vote is seven.

Not THAT bad
This really wasn't bad. I've seen way worse when picking random Netflix horror movies.
The boyfriend was annoying, but the rest of the acting wasn't bad. There were a few good jump scares.
Nothing new here as far as the "Ghost attaches itself to person and friends must find out how to banish it" story. Instead of a video tape here, we have "Ghost Houses".
I was entertained on a night where I couldn't find anything else to watch.

Surprisingly good
This is surprisingly a better watch than the reviews suggest. It had a good eerie feeling throughout with a decent premise. Although its not a completely fresh plot it is engaging and looked fresh.. Some jump scares are good and acting is pretty ok too. The climax could have been better but this is definitely better than the overall ratings suggest. An enjoyable scary ride....
Decent Ghost Story With Many Scares!!
This is among the better lower budget supernatural movies out there, many are not so great - I've watched nearly all of them out there. The story is good! An American couple visiting Thailand get unwanted attention from a vengeful spirit. Plenty of good "Gotcha" moments if you like to jump! The script could be a little better but it's not bad, actors did their best with what they had. This movie is definitely worth a watch if you like scary ghost stories! Don't believe the snobs who wrote some bad reviews, for lower budget scary movies, this one is a lot of fun - great ending. There's a few sexually explicit scenes in case you have younger kids. Check this movie out!
