Ghosts Don't Exist (2010)

This film in my opinion and those that watched with me, unfortunately fails On most levelsOf Basic film making. Story, sound, editing, lighting all need to review the basics again before embarking on any more film projects. The film at best comes across as unbalanced, random and bumpy. We were lost as far as the story goes and the tension is dissolved due to a lack of long, unemotional cuts which dissolve any attempt to build up some sort of thrill or drama. I will at least give credit to the fact that the production seems to have been funded enough to make a film as big as this one based on the endless list if credits that run when it finally ends. I know this might come across as bitter but we did give it a chance and struggled through to the end in hopes of something remotely scary, but in the end it is 2 hours we will never get back.

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!

First of all, seeing as how I am one of the producers on the film, I am not going to bore you with my completely biased view of this fantastic film. I will however let you know that it was selected into the DC Independent Film Festival and won the Local Filmmaker Award. It was also selected into the Eerie Horror Film Festival, where it was up for best picture and best actor. And also an official selection for The Chicago Filipino American Film Festival.Second, I am going to give you the names of several critics so that you can see for yourself what people are saying. (I would give you links, but IMDb won't allow that in a review)28 Days Later Analysis The Liberal Dead John Of The Dead 411-Manis DVD Talk DVD Verdict Lastly, If that still doesn't help, go to youTube and search for "Ghosts Don't Exist" to see a great scene from the film (again, I would give you link, but IMDb won't allow that in a review)Thank you for your time, Aaron Goodmiller

This is a classic B movie, except most B movies are more entertaining. I was prepared for a really cool scary movie. However, it was disappointing from beginning to end. The acting was forced the entire time, very stilted with some corny lines. It was very unnatural. One person would say their line, pause, another person would continue on. The house scenes were really bad. I know if I'm getting sick while in a stranger's home, first thing I'm doing is getting out. Instead, the actors linger on in the house and needlessly stretch out the movie. I was slowly getting sick with them, but it was because the movie kept going on and on, just like the ending. It dragged on, and on. I really didn't see any scary parts to the show. If you have a slow evening with nothing to do and you can rent this movie for $1, then do it. You'll be glad you didn't pay more.
