Ghost Crew

I'm a big supporter of independent film and am in constant admiration of indie filmmakers and their art. This was a fun supernatural whodunit with a bumbling paranormal investigator on the trail of a vengeful spirit. Directo Lawrie Brewster andt the creative team have done an amazing job with the available budget and have come up with a thoroughly entertaining and engaging film.

Tom Staunton as the Ghost Crew TV show presenter and Megan Tremethick as the intern are both great with Megan's calm air of mystery complementing Tom's manic ineptitude.

I look forward to seeing more from Hex studios who made the film..

I don't normally write reviews, so I'm not great at it. I am writing this because this was my first Hex movie and I enjoyed it so much. I was sucked in at the beginning (I am totally the annoying kid in the background) and fell farther and farther as it went on. The locations were fantastic, the actors were all so great. I don't want to give away the story because if you haven't seen it yet you need to give it a watch. Ghost crew is such a charming gem and I will definitely be watching it again to pick up on all the things I missed on my first watch. Please give this movie a try you won't be disappointed.

Knowing full well the limited budget of indie films this little gem absolutely sparkles.

It's indie so you have to expect elements to be exactly that. Where the team behind this film can shine they truly grab the opportunity with both hands.

The lead displays incredibly natural awkwardness which is genuinely funny and the supporting cast do everything you'd expect people in their characters situation to do.

The interactions are everything. The female who turns up is chamringly bewildered but is engaged fully as you'd expect by Tom's enthusiasm.

His camera man almost seeming to work against him. Not just responding to the main character but going about his business like you'd expect from a wilful camera man.

The film does well in story too. Most ghost movies end up with an ending which seems quite flimsy. Here, you get the plausible (for a ghost story) not easy to do at all but in this case most satisfying.

I really enjoyed the story, I thought it was well thought out with some really nice. I did suspect the twist from fairly early on, but I didn't mind because I did enjoy how they did their investigation for the show. Supernatural horror is my favourite actually, and this was really good.

The location was really cool as well.

It was low budget, and "found footage" but, it really works. The acting is pretty good too. It wasn't super scary with tension, but it was certainly intriguing. There wasn't any quality issues going on either, and I think this is a nice indie gem.

I was overall pleasantly surprised.

Ghost Crew is true independent horror at it's finest! A great achievement from Hex Studios. Not for just for the suspense and that makes your neck hair stand and making sure you've worn the brown pants, but the mystery and terror behind what lies ahead as the team and an amnesiac woman (played by the amazing Megan Tremethick) investigate a gruesome murder that haunts the very core of their persistent curiosity. I was brought to tears with Sandy's story, and had a few laughs with Tom and Michael, great performances. All in all, I rate it10 out of 10! It's a true independent horror achievement! 👏
