GHOST WATCHER - DVD Movie Review: Exactly what I was looking for - I watched this movie as a kid and it was always one of my favorites. I couldnโt find out where to watch the movie online so I came to desertcart and found it. So happy thank you Review: Not nearly as bad as some reviews will lead you to believe - This is a great first effort film. While most horror movies are gross bloodfests, this film does not need to sink to such levels. I was scared throughout the movie, so Mr. Cross, your goal was achieved! I'm amazed at the nitpicking of some reviews. Yes, the film is low budget, but it delivers the scare. Many big budget Hollywood films (The Grudge) can't do that. Perhaps some people are too desensitized by big budget Hollywood to appreciate a change. I especially enjoyed Jack, played by Kevin Floyd. This, like the majority of the cast, is his only film, but I hope to see more of him in the future.

So bad itโs fun.
I love the campy acting, the amateur cinematography, and the synth soundtrack.

Quite Pleased
I have been so sick of Hollywood Horror for quite some time; it is insulting to intelligence. This film, although low budget, seemed well thought out. I was especially pleased by the story, which was original, unpredictable, and unfolded at a nice pace. There were moments that made me jump, but even though I was looking for a scary movie when I got this, the scare turned out not to be the most important part. I wanted to know what happened next, the scares were complimentary. The acting quality did get better as the story deepened, however, I have seen higher budget films with acting far worse. The girls were quite believable, especially during a few shining moments. The actual film quality wasn't as bad as I had read on some reviews. It seemed to be the standard low budget film quality. Almost the same eerie quality as . . . yes . . . Evil Dead, (Great reference, by the way). I think with a larger budget, this film would have been phenomenal; whatever flaws found seem mostly due to the smaller budget and unrefined natural artistic abilities. This is one film worth giving a chance.

Amazing film!
Tagline : Some secrets can't stayed buried! Synopsis : Here is a tale of a young woman, Laura Kove, who struggles after being subjected to some frightening occurances on Halloween night. A year later she she has been closed off from the outside world, having only her freind Nikki to help her out. When things start to get uneasy again, she seeks the help of Elizabeth Dean who happens to run a ghost watcher's website. Together they will uncover the truth, the truth that haunts Laura. Overview : *Atmosphere A wonderful setup with the beginning of the film, to give us a feel of what it must be like for Laura to be so paranoid she can't leave her apartment. We are in her shoes yet the reason WHY she is this way isn't shoved down our throats.....it's a gradual discovery. *Story Smooth storytelling, writing, and execution. A genuine ghost story with some modern twists. *Cast/Characters Some truly talented actors in this film. No overdramtic scenes or poor stage direction. Keep your eyes peeled on this cast to appear in more films down the lines. The characters had depth, they were individuals and showed all different aspects of people you may know. *Pace The movie was over before you knew it and has you craving for more! Good transistions between acts to bring you to the finale where everything falls together nicely. *F/X Amazing effects team on this film because the there were moments that were just so eerie and even one scene made me cringe so bad my tummy flipped!! *Cinematography Filmed in and around the Maryland area, you felt like you were right there. Even job well done in the limited space of the apartment that Laura never leaves. Jekyll's Rating : It was a true pleasure to be able to watch this film and also meet the guys in charge of it. Very talented individuals and I look forward to checking out what they have in store for us next. This one gets a strong 5 star rating from me

Nothing fancy but still had some scares!
I rented this movie a couple of weeks ago and I am still compelled to write a review. The plot creates a few 'huh' moments -but relatively minimal unlike many huge block busters that cost millions. The story kept you involved and you cared about the characters ( not a slasher film), you get the idea that the main character is a shut-in and for good reason. There are some legimatly scarey moments that made me jump. The makers didn't go overboard with cheesy special effects either I liked the simplicity. It was an A+ low budget flick
