Movie Reviews of The Canterville Ghost
Movie Review: Great Family Friendly Ghost Story
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit I've never read Oscar Wilde's short story this is based on or seen any of the other productions of THE CANTERVILLE GHOST. However I can say this 1996 version is very entertaining. Patrick Stewart is absolutely perfect as the Shakespeare quoting ghost whose been harboring a broken heart since the 1500's. Neve Campbell look sweet and innocent as Ginny the teenage girl from Indiana who sets him free and in this telling snags a neighboring Duke as a beau along the way. The supporting parts are believably cast and acted as well. This is a beautiful production which appears to have been filmed on location in a British manor house. It's not really a scary film despite its supernatural elements though I suppose the really young or really sensitive could find it intense. THE CANTERVILLE GHOST should appeal to many with its humor, romance, and nice spiritual message along with the bit of suspense provided.
