Ghosts of Darkness

Its a haunted house Movie allright. With 2 characters where it has been way to obvious to make then Total oppositie characters .

Some of the demons are scary , other ones more likely make you laugh.

IT has got Some scary moments, but I never got really drawn into the movie. Its a typical B Movie , but ive soon Manu worse.

The is a UK low budget horror movie so when I say surprisingly good I am referencing the word budget from many angles.

The two relatively unknown actors carry virtually the whole film between them... No mean feat... And they do it very well.

The story isn't bad, the suspense is good, the creepiness is well timed and the scares are well launched.

I would go as far as to say I would watch it again in time and I would certainly recommend to friends.

The paranormal investigators Jack Donavan (Michael Koltes) and Jonathan Blazer (Paul Flannery) receive a mysterious invitation card to go to the notorious Richmond Manor, where several murders have happened along 200 years. A mysterious butler tells that his boss has invited them to stay for three nights at the mansion to get rid of the label of haunted house. In return, they would receive fifty thousand dollars each. Jack is a skeptical man that uses technology to find frauds while Jonathan is a medium. What will they find in the Richmond Manor?

"Ghosts of Darkness" is a flawed low budget haunted house film with many clichés. However with improvements in the storyline and screenplay; a better budget; and replacement of the unconvincing Michael Koltes, this film could work. The result is not good but is not awful at all since Paul Flannery gives some touch of humor to the story. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

Ghosts Of Darkness is a fun film to watch, don't expect anything innovative, it's a paint by the numbers horror that has a few scares. The two leads are very good and have a bit of on screen chemistry despite their characters differences.

It's best watched with a couple of glasses of wine and some popcorn. It's fun, not too violent and the story moves along pretty smoothly. It stayed away from being another found footage movie, not that I have anything against found footage movies, it's just their there are so many at the moment. It told a good story and even though the acting was at times stilted, it still did the job.

Don't expect too much, just settle back and enjoy.

This film, although advertised as a horror is actually a black comedy. It had all the hallmarks of a great black comedy - funny one liners, brilliant lead character (Paul flannery) and constant storytelling action. The one thing that brought it down to 7 stars was the god awful demon and ghost makeup. It's as if they hired a bunch of teenagers to do some holiday face painting. Maybe that was the look they were going for though?.... great watch when you just want to chill out.
