This had a suspenseful and promising start but lacked any real direction at the end, with a stupid finish & total anti-climax. Really cheap budget, wooden acting & dumb characters that really could've been a 'Scare Doo' instead of Scooby Doo - which is what it became.
The ghost in photographs that only 2 out of the 3 leads could see - were they schizophrenic? Were they linked psychically? What did the images mean? No link in the photographs which came from multiple sources of the owners - but a bracelet seems to hold the key. The hunt is on.
You get to the end & end up wishing for the time back. Really pathetic ending - the actors just completely gave up by then (as had I), Really half hearted attempt at what could've been a really decent movie. More like a student muck around without any really comedy. Film version of Scooby Doo & the Serial KIller. Not good! Save your time - at least this was free to watch (it's only saving grace!). Even the attempted twist at the end was pretty stupid & didn't make sense. Bah!

Ghosting within the first quarter of an hour had my attention, I was fascinated and I thought maybe just maybe this independent little mystery title could be something special.
It tells the story of a young man whose mothers mental health has driven her into an asylum and he fears he might be going the same way. He keeps seeing the same mysterious man in various photos but nobody else can!
The premise is great, the investigation and character development is solid and it all looks great enroute to the highly dissapointing finale. Sadly it just doesn't build to a decent payoff, in fact it barely has any kind of payoff at all.
This is yet another movie where a writer had a good idea but simply couldn't deliver an ending worthy of it.
Despite the finale the movie isn't entirely terrible, it's just like reading a Tolkein book where the final page was written by a 3yr old.
The Good:
Great concept
Very well made
The Bad:
The photo "Revelation" is beyond stupid
Finale kills the whole film
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
When looking for a missing friend the first place you should check is a sealed up cardboard box

Is the pacing off here-and-there? Yup. Do the connections between narrative threads become clear? Not always. Is the acting AAA? With the exception of Paul Fahrenkopf, the answer is no.
However, for a student-style, low-budget film, "Ghosting" is quite good. The basic premise is that a young college student with a troubled home life becomes enmeshed in a mystery when he picks up a part of a bracelet belonging to another classmate. Contact with that bracelet allows him/the other student to see things in photographs that others cannot see.
What follows is a sort of X-Files episode where both natural and supernatural explanations are uncovered over the course of the students' investigation of what they are seeing and why it might matter. While the ending does not quite tie things together, it does just enough to work. And, frankly, given the budget, there were some really good choices for camera/lighting use.
The bottom line is that there is a definite plot here and the film does just enough to keep us guessing until the final act. If you are expecting big budget lighting, writing and actors, then look elsewhere. But for what this is, it is quite good. (I have found that the Baltimore/mid-Atlantic offerings are often both languid and quirky in a way that appeals to me. This definitely was the case here.)

Interesting and creative story but not very good acting and production. Some really weird soundtrack choices and unnecessary events.
A good movie one that reminds me of the cinema era. As all too often film is overshadowed with the needs of those who supply the nectar of the gods. This film is a gallant allegiance to the cinematic era. And cares for what makes cinema magic its viewers.
The contrast to the trend amongst modern film is more buoyant as far from dependent on the reception of media glitz. The film floats on faith in plot intrigue and the casts' belief in their roles.
Finally, this is a wonderful piece of American film making. And the director knows it. They remain true to traditional American cinema and it's a credit to all involved.
