MikialUK It's Nicolas Cage and you know he's had his ups and downs in movies but possibly more downs. This one is in the middle. The botton line is it's always fun to see his facial expressions and dedication even to a story like this which is not that bad at all but very familiar. As a horror fan, this one feels ok at times but mostly filled with horror cliches mainly the jump scares. But that's not to say the movie didn't have it's creepy moments as there were a few nice ones that crept here and there and at one point it really reminded me of Sinister so that was a plus. Overall, it's on Netflix so why not give it a watch. The ending however was a bit laughable.
nzswanny I'm completely aware of all the hate Nicholas Cage gets (which I disagree with), however I actually consider him a good actor that commonly falls into the wrong hands. In this little horror film, Nicholas Cage actually gives an acceptable performance as the main role with good, sentimental angry outbursts of rage. It's nothing special, but I enjoyed this film because of it's imaginative, dark cinematography and quietly creepy atmosphere. It's got good jumpscares, surprisingly eye-capturing visual effects and an alright storyline to keep it going, and as long as you expect little from this film you may find yourself pleasantly surprised. I have to remark, this is actually one of Nicholas Cage's better films after all the crap he's acted in previously, and it's good that he's still acting in some films worthy of your time.
statia13 I love a good ghost story as much as the next person. This movie has the potential, but ultimately was another let down. I did manage to stay awake throughout the film, but there was nothing new. Same old, same old. Another great actor sold out to a mediocre scrip, if you ask my opinion. If you're starving for a new movie about ghosts, I suppose I'd recommend this one, but don't expect much. I'd rate it a "B" movie at best. I really felt let down by Cage. I really can't say much more about the movie without spoiling the story line, since it's so transparent. Cage pulled through on his acting, however, I feel he sold out for a weak script.
The Couchpotatoes With movies with Nicolas Cage you never know what you are going to get. Sometimes they are bad, sometimes they are good. Pay The Ghost isn't really bad but it isn't the greatest either honestly. But it remains watchable if you have absolutely nothing else to do. I will for sure only watch it once and not a second time. Not that I think I wasted my time or so but it just misses something to make it good. The story is what it is, not really strong, not very frightening either, but not that that bad either. The cast is okay, not great, just okay. it could have used a bit more special effects and scary moments. It's just an average movie, good to watch once and then forget about it.
