Congratulations to the director of this fine movie because he/she did a real fine job. In times when movies are all action and violence, Ghost tells us that there is hope for mankind...somewhere...somehow...it's not a religious thing and the movie doesn't try to push that either. There is more than one touching scene and the actors and actresses played their roles perfectly. Demi Moore fits in very well and you can see her liking the part all the way thru. Schwayze is fantastic too and is able to turn from the more 'violent' scenes to the mellow ones without any problems at all. The scenery of the movie is well-chosen too. More movies like Ghost should be shot every year!!
I saw this movie on TV for the first time. Right from the beginning, I had a strange feeling of sickness and disgust and the top scenes were not even on yet. It is compared to Se7en, but I feel it has more action in it while the gore is the same in both movies. The serial killer is very disturbing and has no pity towards his victims like most "respected" SKs. I don't remember the soundtrack to the movie, but I think it does give that eerie touch to a movie that is in itself disturbing all along. The killer doesn't give himself away that easily and he is seriously involved in what he's doing. The final scene is one of the best in horror movies, but can be quite sickening for many light-hearted viewers.
I enjoyed watching this movie very much even though most people consider it as a sub-B flick. Alright, so it's no The Grudge, but it tells a story that can be very touching if you want it to be. The actors all act very well including the kids. The only thing that is incoherent in the movie is why the spirit exposes itself too much from 3/4 of the movie onwards. I saw the movie with my girlfriend and she said that "all evil spirits give themselves away in the end". The movies plays a lot with shadows and darkness/light to scare us and even though this kind of FX don't scare many people anymore, they allocate that sort of 'romanticism' that seems to be sacrificed in horror movies today. In conclusion, a good one to watch at Halloween.
