Ghost

Trying to fight for the Church, the leader of a Church-organized task force intended to stop demonic activity from spreading is forced to look into a cult that's intended to weaponize demons to unleash Armageddon bringing them together to stop it from happening.

For the most part, there's quite a lot to like here. One of the films' better aspects is the rather fun and detailed setup at play that gives this a lot to like. Initially providing vital clues about the connection to the other film as a fine starting point by getting to know who he is, the way it expands on that brief bit to encapsulate the use of a Holy task force for the Church to fight off against demonic plagues and forces is quite fun. This amount of fine detail is woven into the main story here where he and his partner are sent in search for the cult that's looking to start Armageddon by forcing demonic beings into unwitting hosts and sending them out into the world. This is detailed and builds throughout the first half quite well. That allows the film to become quite eerie and chiling once it gets to the cult activities. The beginning stages here featuring the recovered tapes from inside the cult showing one of their possession rituals on a victim or showing what happens when they catch a member trying to sneak away, comes off nicely building off the setup established earlier. The later scenes where their mercenary skills are put to the test tracking the leader down and dealing with the shootouts including his team and the rest of the cultists in some really exciting encounters. The found-footage aspect to this one gets the action up-close and personal, so the tight spaces and confrontations have more impact being right in their headspace for everything and leaves this quite a lot to like. There isn't a lot really wrong here as the issues aren't all that detrimental. The main point of this one is the cult's leader who suffers from a lot of the drawbacks these films are plagued with as he's far from the kind of charismatic leader needed to pull this off. His ranting and raving is not that type of persona to lead others the way he does, and the lack of context involving what his overall purpose is means the final confrontation has very few stakes or emotional impact when it occurs. There's a confusing nature to what the purpose of the creature coming to life and going on the mission as there's little about this which makes sense, making it slightly disappointing. Combined with the somewhat low budget on display, these are the few minor issues here.

Rated Unrated/R: Violence and Language.

Not a high budget movie, not a huge production, (hell, you may even have trouble finding this movie with the amount of films with "ghost" in the title.) Of all the films I have watched recently, though, this is one to look at. Great military action, some funny moments and some spookiness. For what it is, definitely worth a watch just to appreciate the acting and camerawork. 9.5/10, definitely worth your time. I won't include spoiler since it is new, but I dont enjoy a lot of the cheesy 'new' movies and this one was definitely one of the best, especially since it is free on Tubi. Beat out a lot of the stuff we pay subscriptions to watch.

I came across the trailer to Dillon Brown's found footage horror film posted in a facebook horror group and I was immediately hooked by it's premise.

Dillon effortlessly combines modern military action packed film genres with old school 80s horror ( eg. Dario Argento's Demons) and presents it as a POV found footage film.

All of the character arcs feel well earned, and Dillon even managed to give a character who doesn't talk (the cameraman) probably the most depth of them all.

It's hard to really pinpoint exactly what makes this film so special, there are so many extremely brilliant ideas presented so confidently, and it wears it's influences with pride, knowing exactly what the film and story sets out to be and ticks all the boxes, and then some, along the way.

This was my first venture into Dillon's films, and I look forward to exploring his back catalogue of films and am extremely excited for the future of his filmmaking career, He's really one to keep a very close eye on.

I went into this film expecting a found footage horror film with an interesting premise, and left the film feeling like I had kinda been on a journey with these characters, I appreciate that Dillon really took the time to actually develop these characters and flesh them out so they are not soi much cardboard cut out cliches you would expect to find in some action films.

Dillon blended the horror, the action and the fun expertly and effortlessly.

In terms of this being an independent film, and considering how much Dillon managed to accomplish without a huge budget, yet providing a believable and thoroughly enjoyable experience and characters, I give this a solid 10 out of 10.

I highly recommend this to people who think this could be something that would appeal to them.

Movie mixes modern day film making with the 80s style horror pov. Actors did a great job and the story line was easy to follow. Once you start the movie it's hard to turn off. Dillon is an amazing director and hope to see lots more from him. This movie does mix the cult world with horror and military style action. For the low budget they had they did an amazing job.

The locations they chose worked great for the movie. You can tell they worked for what they needed for the movie.

Dillon did an amazing job with this for the budget. Hope to see lots more work out of him. Keep up with the films!! You're doing great!

What a fun ride the entire way through!

Pacing is great, action is packed, and the cast is spot on. You can tell that the director and cast and crew had lots of fun making it and put their hearts into it- creating an awesome final product.

I'm a huge fan of found footage, and this movie was just so unique I was genuinely blown away. The locations chosen for filming were so cool, and it was refreshing to see the cast handle their weapons properly when using them. (A mistake that Hollywood always seems to make!)

I can't wait to see what else Dillon has in store, and I hope we get more lore for Ghost.
