The Blackwell Ghost

I get* what you were initially doing with the films. Nothing over the top. Just enough to be unnerving but never enough to make a skeptic cry foul. 5 films in, however, you've kind of picked sides. Though you still present the movies as real, I can't imagine many people are still under that illusion. The fact that I've watched all 5 is a testament solely to how enjoyable you are as a character. These movies are nothing more than average without your character.

My point is that it's time to amp it up. Show us the supernatural. Throw it in our face. You're letting us off too easy. We know it's not real..and that's perfectly fine. You make them feel real enough that going full force with the scares and showing us ghosts won't hurt your films. They'll make them THAT much better. So, take a chance. Amp it up.

Pushing itself as a real life legit documentary, complete with not having a cast listing or director or anything on the description and only being an hour long, this one was surprisingly fun.

it has much of the hallmarks of a typical caught on tape ghost stuff, while being extremely minimalistic with regards to what goes on and what is actually shown. A lot of the spooky ghosty stuff is very small, things like turning on faucets and opening doors, and rarely goes beyond that. Something about being extremely delicate with its ghosty-ness makes it much more interesting and effective at sustaining long, drawn-out moments of anxious tension far better than a cheap jump scare would ever manage.

This is the best of the fake/real ghost documentaries and it's not even close. It is done so well that it seems almost real. It's so low key and lacks the unrealistic jump scares of most every other fake/real ghost Doc's that have been puked out by every idiot with a cell phone. In every movie but more so the dozens of ghost hunting tv shows it's starts with a bold statement that this could be what proves ghosts exist and followed by periodic excitement when a chair moves and they pull out some electronic device that they say picks up ghost voices. And when they are done these people will claim this is real proof. This may use some of those tools but not once does anyone say that this is proof it's showed and there it is. You can't watch this and judge it as a horror movie you have to look at it as it could be real if you can't do that you won't enjoy it. But considering that is what you have to do with almost all horror movies that aren't based in on some real event and even those movies screw with the truth you should be able to do it for this.

This is actually a good movie. Considering it had no budget it does a good job, better then many medium budget found footage ghost movies.

It's short and sweet. I liked it.

Most of these fake "ghost hunting" things try too hard and take themselves too seriously. I really enjoyed this one. First, I don't believe in the paranormal so I just enjoyed it for what it was. A scripted look at what a "ghost hunt" might be like. The host was entertaining and it moved pretty well. It wasn't trying to be a "scary movie" or horror film so don't expect that. It was a "tongue-in-cheek" creation of what a supernatural investigation might look like if there really did turn out to be something creepy going on. It was a perfect length for my attention span, too! And I thank them from the bottom of my heart for not once using those super cheesy audio recording I often see in these things. "Did you hear that? It clearly said 'get out!'" No...it didn't.

It was a fun watch. Just my opinion.
