I'm going with a generous half out of five, yes half out of five for Ghost. There's even a seductive song filmed on a wooden-faced junior artiste wearing enough eye make-up to scare you in your sleep. It's a miracle films like this get made!
Film review ·
This GHOST is a nuisance. The directors needs to learn the ABC of scripting before venturing into a horror story. What he does know is to keep the lighting low and make scary background sounds.
Film review ·
The scares in GHOST are inadequate and ineffectual. One expected so much more from the scary movie.
Film review
Ghost will haunt its makers with poor box-office collections. Although the film is a horror drama, it rarely, if ever, manages to send a chill down the spine, and the scenes intended to be scary are far from it. The juvenile story, haywire screenplay, slow pace, inane dialogues, and forced romantic track all contribute to a film that fails to deliver on its horror promise.

If adventure is your thing, go on, have a good laugh but don't complain you weren't warned.
