Ghosts of Darkness

Firstly the positives: the poster, awesome. Very Army of Darkness feel. Secondly: Paul Flannery - delivery was great, just a hint of light-heartedness & gravitas. Thirdly: cinematography was good - not enough dark or shadows but generally OK. . Sadly that's where the positives stop. . Unfortunately Michael Koltes was flat & delivery was ordinary. His timing & tone need work. His facial expression was just as flat. There was a lot of "Dean Winchester" style about the character without the bluster, fun or aggression. . The story was fairly typical of this type of movie & had potential to be a fun/action movie. . Certainly not the best movie nor the worst.

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.

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.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. As far as small budget movies go, this was one of the better ones. Of course there are issues and the acting seems a bit off, but the script makes some sense at least until we get near the end. The sounds are balanced enough, there's no awesome visual effects but what there is is well enough done and doesn't look dirt cheap.

The worst thing about the movie is the ending. It gets a bit, well silly and felt a little rushed. But apart from that, the movie was entertaining and there were some comedic elements that actually weren't all that bad. The jumpscares were made with good taste and without supersonic booms that break your ears.

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.
