Movie Reviews of GhostWatcher
Movie Review: Interesting Indie Flick
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed this movie. Yes, it's obvious these are amateurs and it is a first effort, but the premise is interesting and it is genuinely spooky in several parts. It is a very interesting ghost story and well worth a look.Movie Review: A Fun "B" Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved the movie and had a great time watching it. This movie really made me think about people that are young, single, and live alone. I cannot wait for the next one to get out. Plus Jillian is an awesome woman.Movie Review: He's right... ALMOST there...
Summary: 3 Stars
For an indie horror flick, it at least kept my attention. If you can ignore the sometimes poor acting, and the limited budget (sometimes with laugh-out-loud cosmetics on the one dead guy - won't give away more than that, but think "Blue Man Group"), and the cheesy flying papers and books (a-la Postergeist) it really was a slight bit better than your average off-the-shelf (OTS) Blockbuster "I really am trying to find a good horror diamond in the rough" pick. If you want one of those, try "Session 9", "Dead Birds", or maybe (to lesser degree) "Ginger Snaps" - (Ginger Snaps, while not scary, is at least interesting and clever at times). I recommend all those for anyone llooking for a surprise interesting horror movie that won't waste your time.
I give them an A for effort in this (Ghost Watcher), what seems a slightly better than average college postgraduate film effort (though it was apparently produced by a professional film company). I do have to say, there were some moments of individuality in this one that lack so often in the others of this OTS horror genre.
Just by way of background, and while other reviewers seems to prefer to reveal much of the story and plot, I think that sort of ruins the film in many cases. So, you'll want to look for other reviews and reviewers if that is what you are looking for...
Movie Review: Quite Pleased
Summary: 3 Stars
I have been so sick of Hollywood Horror for quite some time; it is insulting to intelligence.
This film, although low budget, seemed well thought out. I was especially pleased by the story, which was original, unpredictable, and unfolded at a nice pace. There were moments that made me jump, but even though I was looking for a scary movie when I got this, the scare turned out not to be the most important part. I wanted to know what happened next, the scares were complimentary.
The acting quality did get better as the story deepened, however, I have seen higher budget films with acting far worse. The girls were quite believable, especially during a few shining moments.
The actual film quality wasn't as bad as I had read on some reviews. It seemed to be the standard low budget film quality. Almost the same eerie quality as . . . yes . . . Evil Dead, (Great reference, by the way).
I think with a larger budget, this film would have been phenomenal; whatever flaws found seem mostly due to the smaller budget and unrefined natural artistic abilities.
This is one film worth giving a chance.
Movie Review: A story ensues......
Summary: 3 Stars
Well I was waiting for Femme Fatale to start and decided to ramble into Ghost Watcher for a few minutes. The kitchen scene was on and I was hooked. I came back the next night and paid for it. Got to see two great films in two days. Ghost Watcher had that rare feel to it that if it doesn't scare you it at least gives you the creeps. It's not about the special effects people, get it through yer heads. The image of something crawling at you with mean-ugly eyes, quick lightning flash and the freak is next to you is a good scare that I think anyone would share. The developments towards the end gave it a maturation and a promise, and do I need to mention the copious blood vomit scene. Good stuff and can't wait to see his next. I have been waiting to find this on DVD.
