rixrex This is definitely out of the running for most fans of the modern-day teen-driven horror film of lots of gore and little literacy. However, if you do like such thoughtful and provoking material as Brian Clemen's Thriller series or even Night Gallery, then this will be a nice addition to your collection. Though it is not quite the equal of those two aforementioned series, it is still well done and nicely executed within the limits of the material and miniscule budget. Some might even consider it an allegory of sorts about the in-crowd and out-crowd of the film industry, referred to only as the industry or "this town". The only time a big city is referred to as a town is in the entertainment business. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys their films with a limited amount of music track at a pleasant volume, and a well-considered, thoughtful story line.

blairgun I agree with the previous comment, save for a couple main points that managed to aggravate me. The first was that two of the characters (neighbors) looked nearly the same, which just shouldn't happen unless the movie is called Double Impact, or has some other word(s) in the title along the lines of "Twin, Again, Doppleganger, or The Baldwins Strike Back." Anyways, the second hole was that creepy child. The movie never stated his purpose or why he told Rachel that "It's not nice to be an Indian giver"...or something. The sound effects were also lacking, as I believe that could have done better with the dinosaur equipment that's been sitting in my house for ages. HOWEVER--since film is an art, and each artist has their own intentions, I do commend anybody that has the courage to go forth with their vision, regardless of budget implications, and a lack of two actors that don't look the same. Thank you.

hapistar This was really a treat of a ghost story that combines Hollywood paranoia with some wild history from the silent movie era. I really enjoyed its staying on the subtle side, and all the extras were great! As a filmmaker myself, the "Re-making of a Scene" was really insightful. I'm going to buy The Ghosts for my nephew this Christmas. I want him to learn that in the horror genre, less is often so much more. I loved the first scare -- which came after lulling me into a sense of strange calm -- and I really liked the open ending -- which allowed me to ponder what I think happened in the end. The movie reminds me of the great old films like "Let's Scare Jessica to Death." Great work!

eamus_catuli The AWFULNESS of this movie alone prompted me to register for IMDb.com. I do not consider myself a critic, but the HIDEOUS acting job by the male lead (Stephen Wastell) led me to believe that my grandpa could do a better job in the role. oh, and did i mention, my grandpa's been dead for 12 years???I beg someone else to go see this movie, just so that you'll know you could play the part better. You'll sleep well at night knowing that YOU could get a male lead in a film, even if you are an 87 year old woman. The script was slow.... the dialogue even slower. It was like I was watching day one of a high school drama class.... the female lead did her best with the wet fish that was tossed to her, but even she couldn't pull it off. My heart went out to her during the kissing scenes in the hot tub. YOu could tell she was repulsed by his weird mouth and complete lack of commitment to the role. How this turdpile ever ended up at my Hollywood Video, I have no idea. I am only thankful that i am on their unlimited rentals plan and didn't have to shell out any money for this empty shell of a movie.
