Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

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.

You know a movie has failed to connect when you only discover the lead character's name as the end credits roll. Apparently Nic Cage's character here was called 'Mike'. It could've been Dave, Jeff or Pete. How about Tony? And that highlights the main problem with Pay The Ghost. I know a lot of people will have invested a lot of time and effort both on and off screen to make this movie into a finished product, but no aspect of it has sticking power at all. It feels hastily cobbled together, two dimensional and - despite having more witchy wizardy occulty evil hocus pocus magic than you can shake a dead newt at - it's ultimately dull. Where's the chill factor? As other reviews have pointed out it's just so routine you can virtually describe what's about to happen around every corner.As for the police detective on the case and the shades-wearing guy in the underground cave, they were both so unconvincing it was comical. A few other characters seemed to arrive then leave for no reason. There was some blonde foreign woman investigator towards the end who was doing something or other...what was that about? To be honest I don't care.This isn't terrible but it just didn't work as either a horror or a supernatural thriller.

Is Pay The Ghost a Cage classic like 8mm or Face/Off? Nowhere near it. Is it as bad as some people are making it out to be? No, and at least it's better than guff like Gone In 60 Seconds or Bringing Out The Dead. I mean what's better? A film that at least tries to put together some sort of a story (even if it is a bit lacking) or films that have none or are just earlier versions of Fast & The Furious? I know what I'd rather go with.Pay The Ghost isn't that fantastic, and I'm not suggesting that it is, but for all the complaints it has received, it's altogether not THAT bad. I mean granted the story has been done a thousand times before and it's loaded with clichés (hard to find movies that don't have clichés to be honest), but this film never sets out to be a fantastic Oscar winning epic. It's a middle-of-the-road Horror film, and you get pretty much exactly what you pay for here. Nothing about the story kept me on the edge of my seat, but nothing about it wanted me to slit my wrists for something better to do either. There were a few decent moments scattered throughout, but it wasn't really all that scary.Some people moan about him but for the most part I enjoy watching Nicolas Cage. Is he over-the-top in some films? Yes, but generally he's a pretty solid actor. You tend to kind of know what you'll get with Cage. His performance in Pay The Ghost isn't anything to write home about but I think with this type of film & story if he put any more into it, then it would have been too much. I don't generally mind Sarah Wayne Callies', but the characters she plays do tend to rub me the wrong way. Her character in The Walking Dead was like that and her character here did the same.I'd say to give this film a shot if you like Nicolas Cage films or if there's nothing else better for you to watch, but other than that it's a bit of a watch it and forget it type of movie.

Wonderful, smooth film. The action never ends and there is a ghost different subjects. Nicolas still shows great performance. You can watch without getting bored. Scared been a bit more fantastic. In fact it could be better. The film was stretched a little time in doing so. The most crucial areas does not take much. This seems to be the sequel. at least I perceive it. If you continue in my opinion it would be fine. Visual effects, music and so much good although really impressive monitored. You do not understand how that time is not now. I would recommend to those watching. I do not understand why this movie actually given so few points. I think it deserves a high score.
