Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
So i thought this movie would be good, it started out okay, but as the movie progressed you were left thinking is this a joke? It made me feel as if the director wanted to make ghost hunters look like fools. The basic story was a team of ghost hunters go to see a man , who shoots himself in front of them, claiming to give them what they wanted.. A ghost hunt, come to find out the house has a Carbon Monoxide leak which makes the team go crazy and try to kill one another..End of story horrible film in my opinion , it left you with the thought of this can't be a true film, it has to be a mockumenty for real ghosthunters.. awful just plain awful!
Look: if you're going to make a low budget movie:1. Snappy dialog/script. None here. 2. Lighting: lighting is your friend. Either there was too much, or too little. The one minute long scene in the basement with total blackness was suspense-less. 3. Show, don't tell. Scenes where characters were huddled over a monitor. "Ooh, look at that!" Care to share with the audience. 4. Pacing. PACING!!!!! EDIT YOUR FOOTAGE! 5. Ever heard of blocking scenes? 6. Clearly, one of the characters in the movie is the HOUSE - like in The Shining, or the Amityville horror. So, why not go to some effort and find a house that has a sinister aspect? Gothic Revival, dilapidated late 19th/early 20thc - instead of what looks like an average home with vinyl siding! 7. Motivation: something other than "they've all lost people in their past and have ISSUES". Ugh. 8. At least ONE likable character? Someone for the audience to identify with? They're called "protagonists". The lead was not likable. 9. Close-ups are your friend. 10. Dialog that serves no purpose? Cut it. Silence is scarier than stupid dialog. What did Beckett say? "Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness."Anyway, save yourself a ruined evening, and avoid this film. Try the original "The Haunting" from 1963 if you want to see how this is REALLY done.
I just watched the movie, and it was just boring. The acting was bad. There wasn't anything scary about the movie. I really really like movies that this is trying to be but it fails. The acting was some of the worse. It makes no sense. I had to rewind scenes and watch them again and still it made no sense. The editing was VERY choppy. The movie seemed to just drag on and on. It took what could have been a really great concept and dropped the ball very early on.By the end I was only enjoying the movie to make fun of, in between yelling at the movie about how stupid the characters were acting.
I just got back from the preview of this film and what struck me as interesting is that the during whole ride home, a good 45 minute trip, I did nothing but discuss the movie with my wife. And as I sit down to write this, she mentions how she is worried about having nightmares - a very good sign as far as Horror/Suspense films go.I had high expectations for this movie. I understood the level of effort, skill, and collaboration that was involved and was pretty sure it would turn out to be a decent flick. Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised that Ghosts Don't Exist actually exceeded my expectations in many ways. The level of production quality is evident throughout the film and all of the elements in GDE are very well-executed, thanks to a talented cast and crew. The cinematography and musical score really stood out as exceptional, and worked perfectly to emphasize the overall mood. But, in my opinion, what defines GDE is in the original storyline and how well it is both directed and portrayed by the actors. There are some very tense and unnerving moments throughout the movie, but GDE doesn't rely on shock tactics to scare you. The film is definitely creepy, but in a tasteful way. At the same time, it's still a horror flick at heart, and has just enough violence and blood to do the trick. I would consider GDE to be a perfect balance of elements for this genre.Overall, I enjoyed the movie quite a bit and thought it was a huge achievement by 19th and Wilson, as well as an incredible collaborative effort by everyone involved.
