As someone who usually steers clear of romance movies, Girl Haunts Boy took me by complete surprise. It's not your typical love story-it's an enchanting mix of humor, heartfelt emotion, and an irresistible touch of the supernatural. The film struck a rare balance between being adorably fresh and deeply emotional, keeping me glued to the screen the entire time.
The chemistry between the two leads was simply magical. Their dynamic felt so genuine and natural that I couldn't help but root for them. From their witty banter to the quiet, tender moments, their connection completely drew me in.
What really sets Girl Haunts Boy apart is its unique tone. While the movie is filled with laugh-out-loud moments and quirky charm, there's an underlying sadness that tugs at your heartstrings. Somehow, though, it never feels heavy-it's more of a bittersweet, uplifting sadness. I cried so much, but I with a happy, full heart.
If you're looking for a romance that feels fresh, funny, and deeply touching, Girl Haunts Boy is a must-watch. Even if romance isn't your usual genre (like me), this film might just surprise you. It's a beautiful reminder that love, in all its forms, can be hauntingly unforgettable.

Good story. Writing and script annoying sometimes. Tear-jerker but nice ending. I did shed a tear which makes it worth watching.
Peyton seems to play a ghost really well careful she may be type cast in this type of role. I remember her in 'School Spirits' in this she is only restrained by the script.
I really like the ending it was a pleasant suprise.
I don't think this will win any awards and I chose to watch it because Peyton is in it playing the ghost role again. I wish they would produce another series of School Spirits, it finished with lots of unanswered questions which seems to happen with lots of low budjet series.

I love the story. And I love the music specially the song at the end. Well, I don't wanna go on and on about what happened in the movie but I love movies that come from books. Now I'm gonna have to read the book. It's a really sucks that I have to write characters to make a review. I'm not gonna go into depth about the movie because that would give it away, but I always love stories that have to do with time. Either time travel or a ghost in a person in the current world.zylxoysltztkjgcpjxlgzlgcjxlgzlhxluxkhl. Kxyxoyxouxulxou xiyoyxhsulsoys tkzoysoysoyspu xkyzoyzouxpuxi gist okay.

Now I just need to find the music for that last song Google says there's no such thing somebody please tell me the name of that song that was at the end of the movie.
Girl Haunts Boy was honestly a pleasant surprise. It had that cozy, slightly quirky vibe that works well for a supernatural romance, and the directing kept things grounded even when the story leaned into the more whimsical moments. Emily Ting handled the pacing pretty well, giving the characters enough space to grow without dragging the plot. The production was clean and polished without feeling too polished, if that makes sense. It had a kind of indie spirit but looked and sounded like a proper feature.
Acting-wise, both Peyton List and Michael Cimino brought a lot of charm and sincerity to their roles. They had great chemistry, and it helped carry the emotional beats without things feeling forced. The script kept things light without losing its emotional core, which made it easy to connect with the characters. Nothing felt over-explained or too dramatic. The score was subtle but nicely done, and the cinematography had some soft, warm tones that gave the film a nice visual texture. It's one of those films that doesn't scream for attention but ends up sticking with you a bit after. Definitely worth a watch.

It is a sweet story with moments that are pretty good.
Unfortunately, between those moments it also has some really slow sections.
It has some fun and it has some real heart, but it also felt like it was about 20 minutes too long. They could have streamlined it a fair amount or added another character or two for him to interact with. More Lydia would have been great and perhaps another new 'friend' that would keep finding him appearing to talk to himself or even a sidekick for Lydia.
While the main characters generally did fine, they just weren't always enough to carry it through so long mostly by themselves. The fun, more lighthearted scenes were great; but the chemistry between the leads and the stronger emotional sections were where they struggled. Those sometimes felt forced. A couple good side characters could have easily distracted from much of that.
There were a fair amount of plot holes and overly convenient moments. Someone shouldn't be completely oblivious to the changes in the world when they can see out windows, front doors to museums aren't usually unlocked and unguarded after hours, if they can see and hear people living in the house over the years it would seem they would pick up slang and exclusive, high end parties aren't generally things that are super easy to just walk into unnoticed, especially out of costume. Like so many movies, it felt like just a bit more time spent on fine tuning the script could have made a big difference.
