Hamlet's Ghost

I really enjoyed this movie...there were a number of unique twists to the overall plot and it really kept you guessing. If you like suspense and enjoy attempting to "figure out" the writer's intent this movie is for you. The movie pulls you in quickly, but doesn't lag...I thoroughly enjoyed it. The writers utilization of Shakespearean drama was interesting and while I am certainly not an expert in the genre that portion of the film was easy to follow and should not throw the casual movie watcher off. The Acting was solid and I know many watchers will be attracted to the movie because of the appearance of Daniel May an actor who also plays in the Walking Dead. The old Southern theater utilized for a portion of the film was unique in and of itself and added to the overall effect of the stage actors in the movie.

I loved this flick!

Rarely do I watch a movie without being distracted (darn ADD) but with this movie I was captivated from the beginning to end. Hamlet's Ghost is a mystery wrapped in a SciFi adventure sprinkled with some Shakespeare and tied up with an amazing Dr. Who-esque twist at the end that you totally don't see coming. Often today's big budget films follow a predictable formula but with Hamlet's Ghost - you won't figure out what's happening until the very end. Now, that's some great story telling!

Great film, great lead, great characters all around. You won't be disappointed. I can't wait for a sequel!

1. Cheap home movie style cinematography. 2. Poor audio level clarity. Poor enunciation. No subtitles so it was difficult to follow dialogue. 3. Cheap special effects of time travel was just editing a person out of a scene - poof (not even a poof) he's gone. 4. Acting was amateurish. 5. Worst of all, and Shakey himself would be rolling around in his grave (unless he was cremated), was the unintelligent time travel plot. Wouldn't pass a grade school science class.

I love time traveling stories. This was such a great movie until I guess they ran out of money and the end to me was just plain stupid. Oh well, I would give it a one because of that, but it is still very well done. They should respect the viewers and finish decently. Oh my goodness!

We loved viewing Hamlet's Ghost.

You've never seen Shakespeare like this. The set-up in this script written by Walker Haynes is part Noises Off, part X-Files, part John Grisham, part Shakespeare, and all engaging.

The concept is intriguing; the story is involving. You won't want to miss a minute. The cast represents both veteran and new actors. Everyone is cast perfectly. The handsome Hayes is in the lead role. Trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Hayes has turned some heads with his mildly successful previous projects. Hamlet's Ghost got some good talk and energy at this summer's Cannes film festival, too. Not bad for an independent filmmaker.

And Stephanie Zimbalist is Queen Gertrude. How could anything featuring Stephanie Zimbalist be anything but classy? Good work, all.
