    Surprising

    This 'movie is a interesting spin on boy meets girl story... The ending is adorable and romantic but overall movie is great well paced no long moments or useless time filler scenes. It is a low budget but was well presented and overall very satisfying.

    Horror Romance

    What started out as a quirky, humorous ghost flick with a stellar soundtrack turned into a romance movie that seem to surprise even the main characters in the storyline - besides myself. The self-realization of loneliness, particularly in these Covid-influenced times, perhaps makes the film that much more poignant. A welcoming simplicity of presentation and a cast one takes a liking towards is something I usually found absent in the multitude of works I've viewed while in isolation. A Ghost Waits certainly will not on its path destined to be a classic.

    Comical and astute

    A wonderful, wonderful film. Funny and moving. A great meditation on life, love and loneliness. You know it's hard not to reach for cliches, which feel kinda hollow when I'm so moved. I will happily sit and watch this with friends so I can share their enjoyment of it.

    Low budget awesomeness.

    I don't know what it is about this film but I found it so wonderful.

    I wouldn't call it a horror, more of a love story.

    Emotional and funny.

    A solid low budget drama-dy (Drama/Comedy)

    I agree a lot with FilmGuy's review. In fact, his review is what convinced me to give this film a chance. Obviously you can tell that this film is low budget and because of that, there are going to be confines and limits to the filmmaking. There are some editing errors, sure, but I didn't think any of it was too distracting.

    I wouldn't exactly call this a comedy, nor a horror-comedy. There are some funny comedic moments, but it isn't structured like a comedy. It's kind of a three part mix: drama, horror-comedy-esque, and romance. Because of the mix, the tone is kind of inconsistent, which is probably the biggest problem. I would classify it more as a drama-dy romance with horror elements.

    However, there are some really interesting ideas here about the afterlife, life itself, and death. It can take a bit to get there, but when it does, the film has interesting and unique ideas that elevate it beyond the usual "Ghost" movies. The two leads are fine and even have some good moments, but the film hits hardest in its emotional moments. These are easily the strongest portions of the film.

    It's not the Conjuring, it's not before sunrise, but it's also not the Room or Paranormal Activity. If you're curious, I'd give it a watch. An interesting movie with some interesting lore 7/10
