Ghost Note

Wow, almost 600 votes from Argentina, Aruba, and Armenia, all at 7 stars or 8 stars (depending on the location) with no other ratings from those locations. And less than 200 other votes. Someone on the cast or crew has a computer savvy friend.

Sad, because this crew had potential. Some of the actors/acting was ok, even good, but as noted in the other reviews there a several cast members that should probably look into other careers. Not the greatest story, the writer could tighten up SEVERAL places, and the directing/transitions need some help. All-in all, a 3 might be pushing it.

And sorry, I HATE vote bots anywhere, so I am giving this a 1 star to pull the rating back into reality. Yeah, friends and family always sandbag the rating, but rarely enough to make a difference, and definitely not for 600 votes!

This things watchable if you can be bothered to look past the god awful acting and embarrassingly fake wig the lead actress is wearing.

Tho, what do you expect from a movie about a blues musician who sold his soul to the devil and his demon possessed guitar trying to come back to life? Trust me, it sounds better in writing.

When I stumbled upon "Ghost Note" in the horror section, I must admit that I was immediately lured by the cover art. I hadn't heard about the movie prior to finding it by sheer random chance. I must admit that after having read the synopsis for the movie, then I wasn't all that thrilled about it. But still, I decided to give the movie a chance and picked it up to watch.

Most of the cast was non-familiar faces to me, which was essentially good, because I do enjoy watching new talents on the screen. And not being familiar with the actors and actresses often leaves room for impression, especially when the performers do well with their given roles and characters.

30 minutes into the movie and I still didn't really know whom the characters were. Aside from the lead character, which made for a somewhat flaccid character gallery. And that did reflect somewhat poorly onto the storyline of the movie. It should be noted that as the movie progressed I didn't really come to grow attached to any of the characters in any way, and that mean that the character gallery was one-dimensional and flaccid.

"Ghost Note" seems to follow a very old school recipe for making a horror movie. And one of the good things about the movie is that it throws you right into the action, and doesn't waste well over half an hour in order to establish mood and setting, like so many horror movies tend to do. However, the movie sort of stumbles and loses momentum some time before halfway through, and that takes a toll on the enjoyment of the movie.

Certain aspects of the storyline were good and interesting, but the overall coherency and presentation of the storyline was just not an impressive result. For a horror movie, then "Ghost Note" was lacking things that would actually make it a scary movie. Now, I am not saying that it was a bad movie, just don't expect to be bedazzled by something that will revolutionize the horror genre.

"Ghost Note" turned out to be somewhat of an ordeal to sit through. And I can in all honesty say that I am not going to return to this movie a second time.

Great story line and pacing. With a steady build in the suspense and a terrifying final show down. The main protagonist is full of teenage angst and defiance, causing herself more trouble then she was first ready for. The supporting characters are well rounded making the story line and the world we are transported to come to life. There are a few minor technical difficulties, but overall a fun yet scary journey.

Please Justin....stop acting already. Put us all out of our misery.

So painful!
