The Ghost Within

Honestly, the protagonist is terrible. You kind of the get the vibe of generally what happened, though not in detail, early in the beginning of the film. It's one of the horror movies where I felt annoyed by the protagonist which is always a death sentence. Everything horrible that happened in the movie is essentially the protagonist's fault without any redeeming quality to be seen. Some of the protagonist's husband's actions seem even warranted. To make matters worse, this movie takes itself too seriously. The combination of an unlikable protagonist, dumb script, cheap jump scares, and a sense of self-importance is a recipe for a disastrous horror movie. Avoid this movie.

I found this movie very entertaining and not as bad as others have said. I certainly at no time had any desire to slam my dick in the door. Sure the plot was predictable but what movie lately isn't. I like the actors esp. The hunky Tom Millen, I love seeing straight guys get nailed in horror movies. I would recommend this for a late night home alone horror film if you want a few good jumps and some great acting. I loved the ending and this movie will be going on my yearly horror film watch list. Disregard the reviews on here I think they are all over critical and probably expected more blood and gore. This is an old fashion horror movie that will entertain.

This is obviously a very low budget production made by an amateur team. For that, it is a decent movie. The lead actress is very good and managed to breathe life into the absolutely abysmal script. I know you have to make allowances for budget but there is no excuse for this script. It is like something written by a GCSE student. Terrible. Sadly, the awful script sucks out any potential horror, leaving a very bland offering. 10 out of 10 to the actors for doing a very good job of trying to breathe life into this absolutely awful script. I'm sure better parts await you. As an aside, The house

was cool.

This British film doesn't have much to offer and is a simple ghost story that sticks to the basics and traditions. It's a moderately budgeted film that is well made and not badly produced. There's good pacing, good jump scares and a great atmosphere that's full of tension. The scenes of Evie wearing her mask are the best because of how mysterious and creepy she is. It's a minimally decent horror film. The story of Margot being haunted by the spirit of her deceased sister is good, but it feels predictable from the start. The weak point of this film is that it has quite a few things that have been seen in other films before. Much of the plot is predictable and the film makes up for it with a plot twist that is not very impressive. It must be said that The Ghost Within feels like one of those horror movies from the 2000s and that makes it an unappealing movie for someone who is expecting to see something in keeping with the 2020s. If you are someone who wants to see something similar to what was seen in horror cinema from the 2000s, the movie is adequate. But if you are looking to see something different from everything already seen, the movie is disappointing. The Ghost Within is a movie that offers nothing new and is ideal for those who want to see a ghost story like any other. It is not exactly bad, but you cannot expect much from it. My final rating for this movie is a 7/10.

Honestly, for a low budget supernatural thriller...it's really not that bad.

Oddly enough, it's yet another film that shares thematic similarities with Run Rabbit Run (another being Mother, May I?, for example).

Sure...it might be relatively straight forward...with a twist we've already seen this year.

But it's still an engaging little picture.

In which the burden of guilt turns into psychological torment.

I thought the subplot about the paranormal investigator turned skeptic turned gaslighting con artist was also clever.

In that it acts to subtly misdirect you from the true conclusion.

It's certainly not a masterpiece or anything.

But the story and acting are decent enough to hold your attention.

Even though the ghost is a bit of a cop out.

All in all, I'd say it's worth a watch.

But Run Rabbit Run definitely does the shared theme more justice.

4.5 out of 10.
