The Blackwell Ghost

Pushing itself as a real life legit documentary, complete with not having a cast listing or director or anything on the description and only being an hour long, this one was surprisingly fun.

it has much of the hallmarks of a typical caught on tape ghost stuff, while being extremely minimalistic with regards to what goes on and what is actually shown. A lot of the spooky ghosty stuff is very small, things like turning on faucets and opening doors, and rarely goes beyond that. Something about being extremely delicate with its ghosty-ness makes it much more interesting and effective at sustaining long, drawn-out moments of anxious tension far better than a cheap jump scare would ever manage.

This is actually a good movie. Considering it had no budget it does a good job, better then many medium budget found footage ghost movies.

It's short and sweet. I liked it.

I liked this movie because it wasn't over acted and seemed pretty genuine. Enough that I just combed through my watch history to find it.(i forgot the title) it want the best, but it was entertaining and didn't seem to be super cheesy and phony like most of these kinds of movies.

This is the best of the fake/real ghost documentaries and it's not even close. It is done so well that it seems almost real. It's so low key and lacks the unrealistic jump scares of most every other fake/real ghost Doc's that have been puked out by every idiot with a cell phone. In every movie but more so the dozens of ghost hunting tv shows it's starts with a bold statement that this could be what proves ghosts exist and followed by periodic excitement when a chair moves and they pull out some electronic device that they say picks up ghost voices. And when they are done these people will claim this is real proof. This may use some of those tools but not once does anyone say that this is proof it's showed and there it is. You can't watch this and judge it as a horror movie you have to look at it as it could be real if you can't do that you won't enjoy it. But considering that is what you have to do with almost all horror movies that aren't based in on some real event and even those movies screw with the truth you should be able to do it for this.

Most of these fake "ghost hunting" things try too hard and take themselves too seriously. I really enjoyed this one. First, I don't believe in the paranormal so I just enjoyed it for what it was. A scripted look at what a "ghost hunt" might be like. The host was entertaining and it moved pretty well. It wasn't trying to be a "scary movie" or horror film so don't expect that. It was a "tongue-in-cheek" creation of what a supernatural investigation might look like if there really did turn out to be something creepy going on. It was a perfect length for my attention span, too! And I thank them from the bottom of my heart for not once using those super cheesy audio recording I often see in these things. "Did you hear that? It clearly said 'get out!'" No...it didn't.

It was a fun watch. Just my opinion.
