    Great Performances, Intriguing, Gritty, But With A Rather Incoherent Plot That Contains A Few Plot-Holes

    Pros: 1. The colour palette of grey, white, black, and brown helps to cement a bleak and oppressive atmosphere. 2. Robert Taylor (Jimmy Dubé), Josée Deschênes (Gisèle Dubé), Larissa Corriveau (Adèle), and Diane Lavallée (Simone Smallwood) give great performances. 3. The score brilliantly enshrines the movie in an eerily disturbing tone. 4. For the most part, the film keeps the spirit of Simon Dubé (Philippe Charrette), as well as the other spirits, out of the view of the audience. This builds up the mystery and intrigue masterfully. 5. The sound design is crisp and clear, and it highlights, and really brings forth, the theme of loneliness excellently, by emphasising just how remote the town is.

    Cons: 1. There are a few plot-holes. For example, it's never explained why Adèle just starts floating mid-air. In addition, when the towns-people find out the dead are watching them, they react (mostly) as if it's normal. 2. The camera tends to jerk and shake an obscene amount of times. Surely they could have found a way to steady the camera via a tripod, or something along those lines. 3. At times, the pacing is far too slow therefore becoming a bit of a chore to get through. 4. The paranormal sub-plot and the overcoming of Simon Dubé's death plot don't mix well at all. They feel like two separate story-lines jostling for attention. In fact, the paranormal part ends up overshadowing the latter in regards to both, entertainment and memorability.

    MAMI MFF Review: Ghost Town Anthology (2 Stars)

    Ghost Town Anthology is a weird genreless French film where a town of just 215 dwellers somewhere near Quebec in interior Canada are haunted by living ghosts after an unfortunate accident that no one knows how happened. It is more about the idiosyncratic characters in the film that you get if you manage to endure the 90 minutes of confusing plot where the optimistic mayor is not afraid of whatever the village is about to experience and majority of the citizens are scrambling to find answers. From where or who they don't know. Much like what or why that I don't know or didn't get about Ghost Town Anthology, a film where I only dug the fine, haunting score. TN.

    (Watched and reviewed at its India premiere at the 21st MAMI Mumbai Film Festival.)

    Grossly underrated

    Cold, mind numbing and one of a kind horror. A movie that walks over various abstractions and gives you genre moments that hit you distinctively. We are way too used to being fed with jump scares in an unwritten contract sort of a way. This is one of those movies that does it differently. I could call it an abstract fantasy-horror. Definitely an acquired taste so I'd highly recommend you to watch it and decide for yourself.
