The Ghost Beyond

Very bad. The only good thing about it is the idea but not performed well, that is, the acting is awful and it also fails in scares. I laughed instead of being scared. Two stars are fair for this.

What an awful movie, story boring, characters are boring, I actually carried on watching this for a while after I'd passed the point when I realised how bad it was, just because I could laugh at the terrible quality(not) of the acting.Boy oh boy this is a stinker!

Writer with psychic son and annoying wife moves into a new house to write a screenplay. It's like a badly written and acted version of the Shining. The father is even named Stanley (Kubrick). The kids name is Johnny (here's Johnny). The house makes the father crazy and causes him to drink a lot. If I was Stephen King, I would think about suing. Although there isn't much point because I'm sure this movie made no money.

Well - where to start.

Right from the opening scene with the AWFUL child actor I wondered what I was in for, but gave it a chance when the awful child disappeared.

But really it didn't get any better. The reason this movie crashes so badly isn't the acting or story - it is the AWFUL production.

The director/producers/crew have done NOTHING to create ANY atmosphere in this movie at all. It consists of standard shots and lighting more akin to some daytime TV film/soap opera, with the occasional (and totally out of place) soft focus 'effect' screen on a couple of close ups.

Really - I just don't know where the heads were of the production crew.

100% one to miss.

The casting director should have been fired cause they cant clearly pick anyone who knows how to act well. So she has a great degree and they depend on him as a writer of horror, plus they've moved from NY to the country and suddenly things are expensive? Ok. This isnt a good movie. Don't bother with it.
