The Blackwell Ghost 6

Other horror films I like lots, for context: Hereditary; It Follows; Halloween; Us; The Host; Ringu (Japanese Ring); Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum; The Haunting of Hill House; Turn of the Screw; Cabin in the Woods

Tl; dr: Really fun viewing, and worth watching all the (short) films. Would be good on Halloween! Definitely watch in order for maximum enjoyment.

Color me shocked. I went into this film series with very low expectations. In fact, I started halfway through the series because someone said that would be fine. Honestly? I was a bit confused and figured I would just start back at the beginning. I'm now convinced you SHOULD watch all the way through; the character grows on you. That matters.

Started out by hardly paying attention and mostly watching my phone, until I realized I was riveted, watching the TV more than my phone. (My teenage son had the same experience when I watched it with him the second time through.)

By number 6, I was hooked to the screen. I even downloaded 4-6 to watch on a flight to Florida - and barely realized I'd flown! I won't provide spoilers but will say that the last one has an amazing ending that I loved. My teenage son agreed - and he's a horror snob (A24 films only!!) - so that's saying a lot.

Definitely watch this. Turner Clay is an amazing human and tells a really good story with the series. Start at film #1, and you'll hopefully be as hooked as I was by the time you get here! Definitely worth the build to the end.

Once again a magnificent entry in the series! The build up and momentum of everything combined is really coming out in the entry as well. My only downside was the very loud background music over the whole of part 6. The tense moments can be amplified from time to time but it was very available when it could've been quite.

Seeing Clays office and the place where it has been created all together with every former poster was a really cool touch. Overall giving this a 7/10 but was hoping it would've toned down on the background music from time to time.

Additionally! If you're new to the series, go watch them all and binge away, its better then paranormal activity in my opinion. The level of realism is amazing!

This is the first Blackwell Ghost that does not scare me. Though the sweet story it does tell is fatherly and loving it's not enough of a story to hold my interest without the scary element; after all, that what we're here for, the scary element. In this the sixth installment wherein Turner Clay tries to garner proof of ghosts, of afterlife, we are treated to a story about his young wife's death. Her passing leaves him a widower raising his two infants. He's obviously a doting dad but the babies are usually in daycare or with his mother. That way he can chase ghosts without exposing the children to possible peril. He finds a package on his doorstep left by a mysterious stranger in the middle of the night. In this box is his dead wife's old keyboard. Lo and behold it plays spontaneously. Or is it spontaneous? It can't be, not in the Blackwell world. It's got to be his sweet wife's attempt to communicate with her beloved family.

The movie began with pieces that simply made it unreal. Overall, I viewed the movies so far as trying to be real, somewhat like the first paranormal activity. That aspect makes them a bit spookier. The story to start off could, i suppose, be possible, though unlikely. The change of venues seems off base with the series. The prior venue was a stretch to say the least. In any case, after the introduction to the current story, the wife has all of the sudden died years ago which seems odd, based on prior movies. There's are also children all of the sudden. Boy, that was quick work. What struck me immediately, losing interest, is being a parent myself, if you heard slamming upstairs where your children were, you wouldn't be moving slow like you're trying to build suspense. Any parent knows this. So blah.

I would not recommend just jumping in with #6, its possible but the background with the others will help. What's enjoyable is this movie has little to do with the original Blackwell Ghost but the growth of the main character over time. An enjoyable, spooky and heartfelt 6th movie.
