Ghost Babe

Epic Shreddin Movie.

A timeless cult classic.

Film to keep you a Shreddin With surfing and true story aspects.. Some scary super funny parts can't wait to see the sequel. This is a movie you can watch regardless of how you're feeling.

Pop it in. Grind on some tasty tacos and cruise.

So stoked the movie made me want to charge heavy waves.

Got me outta the grave to surf gnarly barrels in indo for this next year and now I'm not scared to sleep because you know hot ghost babes lurk and give you pleasant dreams!!

GHOST BABE THE MOVIE IS EPIC I want to see this every day and love the oceans like these bro!

Thanks.

Believe me. ANYONE rating this more than 3 stars has something to do with this "film."

The description sounded great. It started off really good. And then Thelma dies, we fast forward to current year and ... it all goes down hill from there.

The guys are thirty something year old surfer wannabes. That, in and of itself should be enough reason to forgo this. But that one dude... the bearded guy... OH. MY. GOSH. For starters, he cannot go anywhere without skipping and dancing. Like, AT ALL. The other two guys, while annoying, are still better than him.

The girl, while attractive, is older looking than you would expect for a 1930's starlet. As a ghost, she's just annoying. In corporeal form, she's not too bad.

Like I said, the story itself could have been really good, if it wasn't apparently written by a couple of film school dropouts. It was a good premise completely ruined by by writing.

And do not get me started on the "dmtina" band... oh good grief...

Save yourself the wasted time.

Well, these three surfer dude buddies hang and "rock the day." One somehow inherits a house. Said house has a history of violence, and one femme fatale ghost. And there is a mystery about the ghost and her death and her love. Now to go about this, let's hang, surf, and get to know one another.

Boring largely. Basic dumb surfer characters left me distracted as I found things to dust where I sat. Oh, and love is in the air. With a ghost.

Poor production generally. Poor acting. Poor writing. A few nice bodies to see in shorts and bathing suits. Characters are at least nice, so you care minimally about the plot and what happens. Not scary and not funny. Too bad.

Needless to say that of course I had never heard about the 2023 movie "Ghost Babe" from director Luis Felipe Delgado. But of course I opted to sit down and watch the movie, as I had the opportunity to do so here in 2024. Of course I had no expectations to the movie, because I virtually didn't know what I was in for here.

Writers Braden Bacha and Ani Orris put together a pretty straightforward storyline, though it was rather generic and predictable. There weren't really any ups and downs along the 80 minutes that the movie ran for, and that made sitting through "Ghost Babe" somewhat of an ordeal and a struggle.

Of course I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, aside from John Philbin. The acting performances in the movie were adequate, but you're not in for an evening of Shakespearian performances here, if you should be in any doubt.

"Ghost Babe" looks like a high end amateurish home video project, and I can't really claim that I was overly impressed with the movie. It is definitely not a movie that I will recommend you waste your time, money or effort on.

My rating of "Ghost Babe" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

The film was good. Obviously working on a smaller budget, they pulled it together with a nice story, albeit one we would have liked to see fleshed out a bit more as it was quite predictable. It was adequate for this film companies first endeavor and low budget.. Ghost Babe is a character driven movie and though it was a little campy at times AND the plot folds briefly somewhere in the middle, it does find its way out before you know it.. For my wife and I, we were so invested in the characters, one in particular, that the plot holes and predictable outcomes are easily overlooked. Radman seems to take over the entire movie. He was our favorite character and was not only charismatic and easily likable but he kind of takes over each scene. His character is relatable and very real. Very, very nice work by the actor. Overall we give this movie 7 out of 10 stars.

Though, we believe that four to five stars would be the normal rating most would give the film, we added two stars for the Radman character and look forward to seeing what else this company and this particular actor have in store.
