one of my absolute favorites!
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
I vaguely remember watching this on Netflix, I believe, quite some time ago. It was that memorable that I watched it again, remembering it after most of it was done. It was...all right. The acting was better than expected, but the music was quite annoying. The interactions between the characters was believable, except for the jarring, one-note characterization of the Jesus freak. I've known some holy rollers in my time, and though they can be annoying, they're not nearly as nasty as this one was.What I can't understand is how it could be considered a 'found footage film'. The 'found footage' comprises perhaps fifteen percent of the total film. No real jump scares, unless you're very nearly asleep and the loud noises make you jump, like they did me. The little girl was, perhaps, the only really sympathetic character in a film full of veiled hostility. The characters were vaguely hostile to each others' chosen professions, and the environment itself was hostile. All in all, an okay film with a 'message'.
Very interesting story line in this one. And super spooky. The acting is quite good - goes to show you that you don't need big names to make a solidly acted film. The director knows how to build tension and takes advantage of the psychology of the unseen: The unseen is always scarier then the seen.I get a bit tired of Hollywood's constant bashing of fundamentalist religion and this is no exception. However, I could overlook this element given the decent story development of this movie.Is it a great and flawless movie? No, far from it. But as ghost stories go, this one serves it's purpose well.
I can forgive the terrible acting, and the horrid special effects, even the incredibly predictable plot. But the "Christian" character in this movie was **offensive**, and I'm not even Christian! It was the equivalent of having a black character who does nothing but talk about fried chicken and commits rapes, or a Jewish character who does nothing but pick the other character's pockets. Obviously the writer/director had some bad experiences with religious people in his past, and decided to use this movie as a way of "getting back" at everyone. It's a sad, pathetic propaganda film disguised as something remotely entertaining. I would not recommend this film to anyone, except people who were diddled by priests and are looking for a comedy.
Death of a Ghost Hunter is one of the B horror flicks that goes straight to DVD without anyone ever hearing about it. Well I had wanted to check it out on Netflix for quite a while because of the creepy cover art for the flick and I decided, why the hell not and just watched it, thinking if anything I would get a laugh out of it. Yes it is one of those cheesy half fake documentary half actual regular film movies but it actually really works well. The special effects are complete crap, but you can look past that into the messed up storyline that the movie brings up. Typical ghost, haunted house flick, with a freaking surprise ending. I must say I'm impressed that this little independent film was so interesting. It had me interested throughout the entire film. It tied up all the lose ends at the very end which made the plot come together nicely. I would definitely recommend this film to someone who is looking for an interesting movie to watch. It's a little scary (IMHO) but not scary enough that you couldn't sleep afterward.
