The Ghost Within

Ghost within

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.

This movie is was full of predictable jump scares and horror movie cliches. On top of that, the script was choppy and the acting wasn't all that great. If the movie had gone in one direction instead of taken three unsatisfying avenues maybe it could have been saved, but every part of this felt halfhearted and unfinished. More like an exercise rather than an honest endeavor. The main character constantly breaks down into crying panic attacks, the husband is obvious from the beginning. The only interesting part of this was the paranormal investigator being a bit different than the norm. Even the ghost was tired and dull. How anyone is giving this over a 3 is a mystery in itself.
