Spirit

It feels if the Hallmark channel made "horror films" this is what it'd be. It was weird in the sense it did have a ghost story element, but it was the opposite of scary. Everything is sweet, and works out well, and everyone learns important lessons along the way. It had no tension.

Even the production value looked as though it was made for TV. The story was basic, and slow passed, which it did get a bit more interesting as it went on. So better writing to tighten up the script would have helped this film.

Ghosts with unfinished business stick around haunting the living. Bad acting, bad everything. Mr. Hardesty just makes me laugh in a non-comedic movie. Oh the drama! The whole relationship between the girl and her rebel teenage neighbor Cole is no surprise. Very predictable movie.

This is one of the best ghost films I've seen for a while as its got a mystery and scary things happening. A teenaged girl lost her mother in an accident so she moves with her dad to start fresh. They move into a haunted house and she learns that there's a deeper mystery. I found this an awesome movie.

There aren't words to explain how bad this movie is. I think that they're professional writers and there are certainly some professional actors but, everyone seems to have checked their skills at the door. This movie is genuinely a master class in bad writing and bad acting, not to mention, bad make up, hair, and costumes. If you do choose to watch this move, you will probably spend most of your viewing time thinking, for the love of God would someone...anyone please brush Kelly's awful, awful hair. There's really nothing else to say the movie is genuinely as ridiculous as my review.

I give this movie 6 stars based on the fact that it is a made-for-tv movie and it accomplishes what it set out to do. We like ghost stories because it is comforting to believe we don't simply walk the earth for a few short years just to disappear and be forgotten. We want to believe we are more than we appear to be, that love endures, and that the things we do in our lives matter. We also want to believe our loved ones who die are not lost to us forever. This movie checks all those boxes.

If the dialog isn't brilliant and the writing isn't tight, well that's down to it being written for tv, isn't it? However, regardless of all the shade being thrown at Elizabeth Moss for not brushing her hair, she's still adorable. Not as adorable as she was as Peggy Olson, but still pretty darn cute.
