Within moments I was oddly gripped, I loved the concept and the whole thing looked sleek, original and fascinating.
Starring the stunning Bella Thorne and underappreciated Dermot Mulroney this is one that is very hard to pigeon hole as it doesn't really fall under one category.
It tells the story of a science experiment gone wrong and a world where ghosts walk among the living frequently, though they are unable to interact nor aware that they're deceased.
The ideas within the movie are remarkably clever but I quickly began to think that they'd be better suited to a television series rather than a movie. By the end, I had that belief confirmed. Don't get me wrong I Still See You is a very enjoyable movie but I think it was perhaps released in the wrong format.
Genuinely clever, interesting and captivating I can't argue that it isn't without its flaws as truth be told it has many BUT the quality of the film outweighs them.
I'd recommend the film to anyone and everyone, sure it has that teen-sci fi vibe about it but thankfully manages to be considerably better than that.
I'd love to see this become a television series, I'd rush to watch that every week. But if this is all we get, then it's enough.
The Good:
Looks great
Bella Thorne and Dermot Mulroney
Some great ideas
The Bad:
Some of the ideas don't feel fully formed
Leaves a lot of unanswered questions
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
There is still life in the ghost sub genre
We need more original movies like this and less reboots
