The Blackwell Ghost

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.

I genuinely believed the description when it said it was authentic. I watched with my boyfriend and i told him i thought it was real and he had to convince me it was just a movie and i still wasnt convinced until i read all the reviews and now i feel like an idiot. That being said i think it was awesome. The acting was really organic and convincing it really did just seem like a guy investigating ghosts on his own. The way the movie is shot it feels very real and the story flows very well. I enjoyed this way more than obviously fake movies like paranormal activity. This was not obvious to me and very enjoyable.

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.

The editing and timing are great. The acting is good and the guy is funny.

There is not one, not even a single iota of second that I thought this was real. If you're caught up over that alone, grow up.

If you're caught up over no jump scares, grow all the way up. It's not even classified as a mockumentary. Why would there be jump scares? Are you 12?

For some reason, the makers of this film left it up to the viewer to decide if it's real or if there is even purpose. I really don't care. It's a fun movie.

Some people actually believe it's real. I don't know why, but more power to them.

I actually got a little scared at the "climax"....it felt more or less real.

It's not nearly the best thing I've ever seen, but I enjoyed it. It's less than an hour. Fast-paced and straight to the point.

But I don't know what the point is other than to be entertaining and maybe to encourage people to make up their own mind.

Gotta say that as I went to bed after watching The Blackwell Ghost that I heard noises and was generally very unsettled. I'm watching The Blackwell Ghost 2 but the interior of the house reminds me of the exact set up of Bad Ben. Anyone else notice?
