vicbendeck Review of Ghost in the Graveyard

Ghost in the Graveyard (2019)

Watch, but definitely not worth 7.9 stars. (Contains some spoilers)

[3/10 · 7 November 2019]

Let's begin with the acting. The dad gave the impression of being that friend the director has who asks the director to please give him a spot in the movie. The role was not successful because the dad seemed younger or the same age as the children and in the introduction of the family, it gives the impression that the supposed daughter is in a relationship with one of them. The dialogue was poor. At times, it reminded me of the kind of dialogue you get in The Room. The story didn't have the cohesion to really suck you in and make you believe in what was happening. Random occurrences like there being a box under the bed with information that shouldn't be under the bed really didn't make sense, because that information would be best kept in other places. On the other hand, what actually happens is cheaply and overtly explained, as if they didn't trust the viewers to deduct it by themselves. The depiction of witches inconsistent. Finally, one positive aspect of the film had to do with the special effects. They were used in a measured way and did produce a credible feeling in what they were trying to accomplish. Observe however, the inconsistency in one scene, where nails cut into arms and lots of blood spills out, only to omit the blood in the scene that follows. A truer aspect would have been to keep the same amount of blood, but this would have forcibly changed the direction of the film.
