A Town Full of Ghosts Movie Reviews

The Shining meets Blair Witch Project and has an ugly baby

“Town Full of Ghosts” is anything but that. Its full of something but nothing that is scary, intriguing, or worth wasting time watching. The film is set inexplicably in a part pretend, part real ghost town far out in the boonies, 3 hours away from civilization, and with no cellular service, water, power or infrastructure. Enter a young couple, hocked to the hilt, buying up the place to create the next version of Knotts Berry Farm…except, it has none of the above, which anyone will instantly recognize as laughable. The town has only one ghost, a pissed off madam from a bordello that was burned to the ground by townspeople, leaving her as the sole survivor. After hacking the 250 townspeople to death with an axe (how she was able to sneak up on the townspeople without someone hearing the slaughter, catching her in the act, grabbing a gun, and dispatching her to Hades defies the imagination), we are led to believe that Texas authorities then burned the remainder of the town down, to hide the shame of the crime. The new owner of the property knows nothing of this history, save a cryptic newspaper article, despite a theater building in the town holding maps and films explaining the entire history. Who buys a place without inspecting the grounds, or having it appraised, doing a walkthrough, asking for full dusclosure statements, etc, etc? Add to this implausible plot, awful acting, horrible dialogue, and awful photography, you get the perfect set-up for a yawn-worthy waste of time.

A Town Full of Cliches

“The Shining” meets “Gunsmoke”. Instead of being set in a sprawling, remotely located haunted hotel, the story is set in a ghost town in the middle of nowhere. Mark, one of the main characters, is almost a direct rip-off of Jack Torrance, complete with mental instability and a problem with alcohol. In “The Shining”, Jack Torrance had Lloyd the bartender. In this movie, Mike has Billy the caretaker. There’s even the ax as a murder weapon, and a chase through a maze.

Like Jack Torrance, Mike’s mental instability and potential alcoholism is heavily foreshadowed. There is virtually nothing new to see here, folks. The Overlook Hotel collected victims and ghosts in “The Shining”, and the ghost town, Blackwood Falls in this movie does the same thing. This movie is far more predictable than it is scary.

A solid and enjoyable found-footage effort

After buying an abandoned ghost town, a couple documenting the experience for their fans on social media of their turning it into a potential tourist attraction, but the longer they stay there the more they come under the belief that something’s there in the town protecting a deadly secret.

There’s a lot to like with this one for the most part. The initial setup on display for this one, focusing on the couple going through the town and documenting what’s going on manages to offer a rather impressively chilling starting point. The fact that it’s genuinely chilling with how the place looks abandoned and deserted with their walk-through of the town makes it appear as though they’re by themselves in the area with the rather twisted designs and layout of the area as well as the first signs that something’s going on. The constant hints that something’s not right, from the sleepwalking claim to hearing odd noises in the middle of the night and finally getting suspicious of the constantly-growing wasp hive that draws their attention. That manages to pay off quite nicely in the second half where the film shines rather nicely. By finally managing to unleash the real explanation for the town’s deserted nature with the full reveal of the backstory in the past regarding how the stories spread regarding the figure haunting the area, this one picks up the energy rather nicely in getting to the frantic chases and attacks that take place in the town. As it introduces a fine possession angle to enhance the chasing and action rather nicely, this aspect becomes a lot of fun and steers the film along into a frenetic finish that’s enough to lift this one up quite nicely. This one does have a few drawbacks that hold it back. Among the biggest drawbacks featured here is the rather obvious detriment of the film’s unnecessary use of the unsupportive spouse cliche that’s present here. This is a highly uninvolved setup that is brought to the forefront here for absolutely no reason at all other than to provide a bit of spice into the situation regarding how they’re going to get through the predicament due to the just-as-cliche setup of the funding getting pulled at the last minute. That combines together into a rather aggravating cliche that is only there to provide a storyline to take up time in the middle of the film. The only other issue to be had here is the rather stagnant pace that transpires in the first half where it takes a while to get going. The series of walk-throughs that take place, the hints that something’s going on and the random encounters here don’t add much in terms of exploring what’s going on as that reveal comes about completely at random at the start of the third act since the film is so short. By not having that much of a clue as to what’s going on as you’re more focused on other areas than enhancing the dread, it makes the final half feel far more frantic and speeds through the scares rather than enjoying a natural progression which is a bit of a shame. In addition to the as-expected troubles trying to keep the found-footage aspect realistic in the situation, these here hold this one back.
