The Ghost of New Orleans is a ghost detective procedural. I do not know why I didn't see it at the theaters, but I wish I had. I really wanted to give this an eight or nine, but I can't. The last twenty minutes it comes into its own. I'm not as put off by the one bad accent, if you been too Southern Louisianna then you've heard it from Louisianans, there's only one place where it really doesn't work. There are three Louisianan accents, and he (Barry) does pull off one except once. Regarding basements in New Orleans, it's a common mistake and the term may be used in reference to a first floor that floods easily that is normally behind a retaining wall to keep the floods out. They feel like basements but are not basements so when you see a basement in a movie about Louisianna, it wasn't filmed in Louisianna. If you like detective or Ghost Stories then you'll like this.

Since when are there basements in New Orleans? I found this very distracting that the name of the movie contains "New Orleans" and it was not fully recorded in that city...sigh

Lucas convincingly pulled off this eerie tale of a police detective who not only was haunted by his past mistakes but haunted by the murder of beautiful young woman in the present. The storyline kept me interested and somewhat surprised to the end.

This movie was like a ghost story but not a very good one. The cop who sees ghosts, but to me he certainly didn't see enough of them. I don't know if it was the movie that seemed unfocused or if it was me.

It was good to see Peter Jason finally get to be Sheriff! (Captain. Deadwood Reference)

Lot of talent in this movie I would have thought I would have liked it more. 4/10.

Oh wait, I see this movie changed titles at some point? I really hate that. -1 Star. 3/10.

If they'd only paid a bit more for someone over age 15 to write a script this could have been amazing. The actors 10, scenery 9, edgy noir setting 10. The most haunted city in North America 11. The prettiest dress I've ever seen Lake Bell in 9. Dialogue 2. Plot needed layering and subtlety 4.

It coulda been a contender.
