Ghost Story Reviews
LAME GHOST STORY !!!
I just bought this DVD, because all these hip an all. Man was lame as hell. Wasn't real horror AT ALL ,more was lame, then horror, I know what I am talking about because I am fan of a ghost and haunted type movies...Wish I could get my damn money back..
If u really wants to see a ghost, haunted house and also is kind of classic is same years with this movie made? .get
"The Entity"...
I just bought "ENTITY" and I saw it back in 80s,Is real true chilling ghost story,& got me real shocked. Worth every penny I paid. Skip this lame trash,U would disappointed!!
Flawed, but quite "the chiller" at times as well.
The movie "Ghost Story" is about four old men with a dark secret from the past. The guilt these men bear is unspeakable for an act they committed many years ago. As the movie begins, the audience sees how the men are tormented in their dreams, but from what? What unfolds is a chilling ghost story which, "at times" is quite effective presenting that ever elusive feeling of horror to the audience.
The creators of this "Ghost Story" provided the viewer with an effective mesh of reality and dreams to leave one unsettled and knowing something scary or horrifying is about to happen. The acting of Alice Krige is outstanding in this film...she is a natural in her role as the vengeful ghost.
On the down side for "Ghost Story", there is no question that this movie is also boring at times as well. For instance, the reminiscing of past events, especially about the youth of the old men, while informative, is actually incredibly boring...there are some lengthy scenes that really bring the movie down and cause the action to stagnate, the effect of which is sheer boredom in the audience.
Also, this movie has way too much "gratuitous nudity", and this does hurt the film to some degree because it gets boring and it is simply filler space...that said, I recommend that the viewer pay close attention to Emma's ghost-like mannerisms during the intervals of these scenes...she's quite creepy! Well done Ms. Krige! However, the nudity and sex scenes are obviously why we haven't seen this movie on television and that is a shame. Another minor issue that I have with "Ghost Story" has to do with the two human characters, a young man and kid, who appear to be apparitions of some sort, but are really humans...their presence in this movie is completely unnecessary and really cheapens the horror, metaphysical quality and mystery of the ghost.
Overall, this is a pretty good ghost story and horror movie with some definite flaws, but it's actually much better than most of today's garbage. I mildly recommend "Ghost Story" to the horror movie fan.
