Ghost Track

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film and it fufilled every aspect of a horror movie. I did find that certain parts of the story line were very predictable, but there were several surprises and twists along the way that kept it interesting to watch.

Remember the one about the kid who died on the train tracks? He remembers you!

So yeah, I'm a sucker for supernatural slasher flicks, especially ones that follow the revenge angle, and also have a large body count. Morris plays to the drum of most 80's slashers, with the plot closely resembling Prom Night, but with a bit of a twist. Director Brown does a good job of sneaking in bits and pieces of the flashback scenes of Morris, while the group of now grown-ups are getting picked off one by one. Overall the cast was great, and despite being a low budget effort, the film felt organic to the story being told.

I'm a pretty big fan of Director Brown's previous efforts, A Date with Ghosts (2015) and Dark Vale (2018). Out of the three, I think Dark Vale is the strongest, as I'm a huge fan of the overall plot and gothic tone to the storytelling. Morris (at least for me), was missing a bit of that atmosphere, as the look and feel of this movie was very much in the now.

I did have some minor complaints, as there were a few interior scenes that appeared darker to see, while not a huge complaint, it did seem a little distracting. Also, at times it was a bit hard to understand what some of the dialogue was, and I don't know if this was because of the screener I had or just an overall issue, but that too was a bit of a setback. Despite those negatives, there are some great segments out in the surrounding rural area, the wheat field and abandoned junkyard were my favorite scene locations.

But what about the kills? Well, this wasn't one that was overly gory, but the tension established in the setup was well thought out, and I did enjoy a few of the chase scenes. I also enjoyed the look of Morris and that in some scenes he was carrying a knife, that to me added that classic slasher aesthetic.

This one plays pretty much like a routine supernatural slasher, until the last 20 minutes, and then it takes a nice twist that I honestly wasn't expecting. I don't know if I was quit a fan of the overall ending, but I did enjoy the surprises in plot. I'm always glad to see what Director Brown has cooking up his sleeve, and will definitely be checking this one out again upon release, for a second viewing.

Give it a peep, solid 6/10 here

There were some scenes that weren't as coherent as I'd have liked, some that seemed to drag and felt irrelevant but also some that I feel would have benefited the film by being a little longer. More focus on character building and establishing certain relationships would have been ideal as well. However, this is from a more critical viewpoint and doesn't take away from the fact that it's a great story and very entertaining. The performers seemed to fit well in their roles and although there were a few awkward moments while they got into their groove they all did really well in telling the story.

I particularly enjoyed the end scene where the characters came together in their 'final showdown' with Morris and the surprise twist, however I also feel like this could have had more build up and hidden clues that hinted towards it as it felt a little forced once it was revealed.

Overall it's a great film that's an easy watch and I'm looking forward to more from Jason in the future.

Thanks for making me cry lol!!! Given this is an independent LOW budget movie, this is a real spectacle and some scenes are just beautifully shot. Good chemistry between the cast members on show and nice comedic timing! Locations are really cool. Yes, it's not perfect and that reflects in the finance of the filming but a real good effort nevertheless. I have to say I enjoyed the twist and it wasn't who i thought it was! But then again I'm rubbish at Cluedo! Lol. Love the pace of the film, constantly on the edge and always thinking!!! Recommend to anyone who has a spare hour and likes a jumpy horror.

This film did not disappoint! The story, acting and most importantly the detail in the film were top notch! There was a twist at the end that I really didn't expect.

It lived up to my expectations and delivered a jaw dropping film full of suspense - with a great addition of humour in the mix too.

The locations were fantastic with beautiful scenery. Visual effects were very impressive for a small indie film, almost like the film looked expensive for this in certain places. Actors were all great, Courtney was fantastic too the actress playing that role is very talented.

Definitely a 'must see'!
