The Ghost Beyond Movie Reviews

What did I just waste 90 minutes on?

Well – where to start.

Right from the opening scene with the AWFUL child actor I wondered what I was in for, but gave it a chance when the awful child disappeared.

But really it didn’t get any better. The reason this movie crashes so badly isn’t the acting or story – it is the AWFUL production.

The director/producers/crew have done NOTHING to create ANY atmosphere in this movie at all. It consists of standard shots and lighting more akin to some daytime TV film/soap opera, with the occasional (and totally out of place) soft focus ‘effect’ screen on a couple of close ups.

Really – I just don’t know where the heads were of the production crew.

100% one to miss.

You buy the house, you buy me too.

We are given the backstory up front. Allie (Mary Charles Miller) was punished for playing with dolls. She was locked in a chest with the dolls. She died in the chest feeding on the dolls. She haunts the house, wanting to turn its occupants into dolls so she can feed on them.

A family moves into the house. Stanely (Trevor Donovan) is working on a horror/thriller script and loves his bourbon. Jennifer is a neurophysicist who never goes to work. The eight-year-old son Johnny (Bobby Batson) talks to the dolls and sees Allie. He is a slow counter to 13. Stanely thinks his agent Benny (Steven Paul) is the biological father. He has trust issues based on his wife’s past infidelity.

The film was okay. I didn’t like the characters, especially the kid. The acting and dialogue were a notch below where it needed to be. The “horror” aspect was light. Maybe a few stupid jump scares. Part of a three-film set at Walmart.

Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

Well, this was mundane…

Right, well when I sat down to watch “The Ghost Beyond” I must admit that I had expected more of an actual ghost movie and not just a flaccid interpretation based on “The Others”. Especially taking the movie’s cover/poster into consideration. But that is the purpose of the cover, isn’t it? To lure in the audience…

The storyline in “The Ghost Beyond” was so very flaccid and mundane, and nothing much of anything worthwhile or remotely scary actually happened throughout the course of the movie. I managed to stick with the movie to the very end, in the hopes that it would start to pick up pace and become more interesting and more scary. It just never happened.

It should be said that the cast, albeit very small, did good jobs with their acting performances. It was just a shame that they were tied down and severely restricted by not having a proper storyline and script to work with.

As for the special effects, well don’t expect to be bedazzled and blown away by what you see here. Sure, there are special effects, and they work well enough for their purposes, but for a movie made in 2018, then it just wasn’t particularly spectacular.

All in all, not much to be had in “The Ghost Beyond” if you are a seasoned horror fan. I am sure that this movie will serve well for newcomers to the horror genre. Other than that, then there is very little to be had here…
