A decent paranormal horror film
Amylovesmovies7 June 2022
I watched it last night and really loved this 20 minutes short film. The script was great and the song was nice. It is about a man who lost his wife and she comes back to take him with her, and he should choose to stay in the world of living with his daughter or join his love. I highly recommend him.

Just watched this film and Loved it!

The Ghost on the Bridge," by Maria Johnsen, is a haunting and atmospheric film that combines elements of horror and mystery to deliver a chilling cinematic experience. Set against the backdrop of a remote bridge, the film captivates viewers with its eerie atmosphere, strong performances, and a gripping narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Maria Johnsen's production is commendable, as she effectively creates a sense of foreboding from the very beginning. The cinematography is atmospheric, using dim lighting and shadows to heighten the suspense and evoke a feeling of unease. The bridge itself is beautifully shot, becoming a character of its own, with its weathered structure and haunting aura.

The cast delivers solid performances throughout the film, with the standout being the lead actor Andrew Shire. The supporting actors also deliver strong performances, adding depth to the narrative and enhancing the overall sense of dread.

One of the film's strengths lies in its ability to blend horror and mystery seamlessly. The ghostly apparitions and supernatural occurrences are genuinely unsettling, but the film also keeps viewers guessing with its cleverly constructed plot.

Furthermore, "The Ghost on the Bridge" benefits from its restrained use of special effects. Instead of relying on cheap jump scares or excessive gore, the film relies on atmosphere and psychological tension to create a sense of dread. This allows the scares to feel more authentic and impactful, leaving a lasting impression on the viewer.

Good short film
pticki9388214 January 2020
I just watched the ghost on the bridge and was pleased with this film. It is a short film that depicts the mystery behind a writers' wife's disappearance. One of the best things about this movie is that it so relatable. Going through economic crisis and dealing with a daughter who is struggling to understand the pain John is going through and the final moment between choosing between the two people who are dear to him. Good script and production.

Enchanting
vanfieldhack683 January 2020
The poster was appealing and the music was great. I am a horror movie lover and I decided to watch this film. The opening was cold and sterile which adds to the creepiness. It starts off John is dreaming about his wife Julia, I am not going to spoil the entire story, but worth watching.

A writer struggles with figuring out his wife's disappearance while trying to finish his book. It resonates with me as an author. Keeping a publisher happy and getting the job done isn't easy. The screenwriter has portrayed very well a writer's life in this short film. You can read filmmaker's passion for writing. Very family oriented, good VFX job, strong choice of cast and beautiful music.

You can watch it with family
bendergeorganne3533 January 2020
This is a film with moral values. A good short film that a family can watch together. We enjoyed it, though we expected something else at the end. It was a good old horror movie without those disgusting gory scenes. I recommend it.

Good paranormal horror
burnscen32563253 January 2020
A good old paranormal horror with an interesting ending. It kept me highly entertained! I saw the ad on instagram and watched this short film on Amazon prime. To me, the film had the feeling or look of a good old movie. A writer and his daughter are trying to find the mysterious disappearance of Julia. I kept guessing different scenarios during the film but the end was interesting. Very good movie! I recommend it to fans of paranormal horror films.
