Ghosts of Goldfield

Y'all, this is straight-up awful. The acting, the special effects, the script: just awful. Dumb characters making dumb choices. There are no redeeming qualities to this film at all. Skip it. Please.

This was horrible. I expected so much more from Marnette Patterson. After seeing her on Supernatural and in a few other films, this was a letdown. Maybe she can't handle a leading role. Or maybe her supporting cast was just bad enough to sink her starring role. Or it could just be bad writing. A bit of advice Marnette- be a bit more selective in your acting choices.

This movie starts out OK, but then just fails to really do anything. I purchased the movie at the local Wal-Mart because I used to live just 27 miles north of Goldfield in the town of Tonopah, NV. I hope that this isn't considered a spoiler, but ALL of the interior flamings of the hotel in this film were not filmed at the Goldfield Hotel, but up the road in Tonopah at the now defunct, Mizpah Hotel. I know!!!!! I used to work at the Mizpah Hotel and it all looked very familiar to me.

The acting is barely mediocre in this film. Two pretty girls, one cute guy, and one hunk, along with Roddy Piper couldn't make this film shine. Five college students go to Goldfield, NV to study ghosts the closed Goldfield Hotel and spend the night there. I can tell anyone now that would never happen because Esmerelda County would never let anyone spend the night there. I don't believe that the hotel has actually had guests since the late 40's or early 50's. It may have opened up in the 70's for a short while, but I would have to check my facts.

Don't waste your money going out and buying this DVD. Wait for it on Sci-FI or a horror channel some long snowy afternoon.

Movie Grade-D+

I saw nothing than bad reviews about Ghosts Of Goldfield. Indeed, that title is more like a western instead of a horror so they changed it in Europe to Paranormal Ghost to make use of the success of the "Paranormal" word. Naturally that isn't enough so they made use of the title "Twilight" as coming from the movie Twilight, Kellan Lutz. If you have seen my review on the Twilight trilogy then you know it's in my top 5 of worst flicks ever. So that was no reference for me. Another name that I notice was Roddy Piper. If I put the word Rowdy between then I guess you know that I'm talking about the Hall Of Fame from the WWE. I had no problem with his acting like so many had, I know him from his WWF period in the eighties, screaming and very aggressive. He do appears sometimes in the new WWE world and here in this flick, I thought he did it well, hoped I could say that from the other actors too. Some you really see acting, sadly, Mandy Amano is number one on that list. The scene about the rat in the bar, so bad acting. She is also the only one who goes nude but there's nothing to see for the Kleenex boys out there. It's funny that Paranormal Ghosts started off pretty well. And it even had some blood in the first minutes but after a while the ghost appears in real life and it all becomes a bit dull. There's a lot of talking and suggesting that the ghost is there but when the red stuff comes in it's all to late. The ending is predictable and so it's not all that ghostly as it should be. The version I have is 18+ well if someone can tell why please do so. You can sit through it easily with your family just before the children TV starts. Nevertheless, due the good beginning of the film and the decapitation scene I give it a 4.

(2007) Ghosts of Goldfield HORROR

Straight-to-rental co-produced and directed by Ed Winfield ghost flick and is inconsistent in terms of it's story line centering on five teens of Julie (Marnette Patterson), Chad (Kellan Lutz), Mike (Richie Chance), Dean (Scott Whyte), and Kerri (Mandy Amano) who're supposed to be ghost hunting, except one of them had her, I'll name her Julie had own agenda, to return to a particular hotel located at a ghost town to revisit the death of a specific ghost, Elizabeth (Ashley Ra) murdered by her husband George Winfield (Chuck Zito). The movie leaves more questions than it gives any answers.
