    Convincing enough

    I liked this movie because it wasn't over acted and seemed pretty genuine. Enough that I just combed through my watch history to find it.(i forgot the title) it want the best, but it was entertaining and didn't seem to be super cheesy and phony like most of these kinds of movies.

    Actually good

    This is actually a good movie. Considering it had no budget it does a good job, better then many medium budget found footage ghost movies.

    It's short and sweet. I liked it.

    I was stupid enough to believe it

    I genuinely believed the description when it said it was authentic. I watched with my boyfriend and i told him i thought it was real and he had to convince me it was just a movie and i still wasnt convinced until i read all the reviews and now i feel like an idiot. That being said i think it was awesome. The acting was really organic and convincing it really did just seem like a guy investigating ghosts on his own. The way the movie is shot it feels very real and the story flows very well. I enjoyed this way more than obviously fake movies like paranormal activity. This was not obvious to me and very enjoyable.

    Its ok

    As horror goes it's pretty minimal.Using a very active imagination I scanned every scene looking for that ghost.It wont be everyone's cup of tea but watch it alone,at night with lights out and yea it does have its moments.The best lost film footage is definitely hell house llc which I cant praise enough.

    A bit creepy

    Gotta say that as I went to bed after watching The Blackwell Ghost that I heard noises and was generally very unsettled. I'm watching The Blackwell Ghost 2 but the interior of the house reminds me of the exact set up of Bad Ben. Anyone else notice?

      At the end of the movie, there is a small special thanks list and a title screen. There are no cast, crew or production credits listed at either the beginning of end of the movie,

      The opening to the well is shown as kept open with a pair of pliers. Later, when Clay opens it fully, the stench is overwhelming. Had there been such a stench, keeping the lid open even slightly would have allowed the full stench to fill the basement and eventually permeate the entire house.
