Review of Ghost

Ghost (I) (2012)
Way past sell by date

The makers deserve to be lauded for managing to secure a clever title "Ghost" ensuring to attract attention of every horror movie buff. Next to that everything about "Ghost" is rubbish. The entire affair is very amateur'ish that it gives an impression of a summer project or worse a B-grade venture. Had this movie been made about 20-years ago, it would have stood a chance to compete against then ruling the roost - the Ramsay Brothers. On that note, it carries the same flavour of blood and gore.

The screenplay is at its lowest ebb. The editor seems to have been coerced to retain every possible frame canned by the director leading to the proceedings at a snail's pace. The background score puts in best effort to inject fear factor. The CGI is poor and so is the performance of the actors which ensure to make you chuckle at regular intervals. Wonder what made Shiny Ahuja and Sayali Bhagat to participate in the project ("unemployment" perhaps?). Usage of name "Mary Magdalene" is in very bad taste.

PS: If you forget the plagiarism references, watch "?" which deserves to be a Bible for horror film making (atleast in Indian Cinema).
