Watch The Ghost Club For Free

Awesome Movie

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

My 6 year old enjoys this movie, but hasn't a clue of course in the unbelievability of the storyline, and this excludes the "mission" of the children with regards to communicating with a ghost.The incredibly "slow, straight faced" acting of especially the mother of the children when she finds out about the IRS is unbelievable.Without researching the claim at all of this huge debt supposedly owed, she simply shuffles away, leaving a teenager in charge of her business for 2 weeks?!?No reaction except "we owe the IRS money (enough to purchase a home in some parts of the country)but don't worry kids, everything will be fine." (no tears? no frantic calls to the IRS?) Botox injections must have been administered throughout, this lady's acting is worse than amateur.But maybe the realistic details were purposely left out. Maybe the realistic reaction that would be expected from the mother and grandmother (where is the father and grandfather??)was not important after all, this was suppose to be for kids who would not understand such details in the first place.The children's acting was a reflection of the director. Sure they could have put a little more "spunk" into their parts, but it seems the children's acting style simply was following the acting style of the adults in the movie: SLOW.

This movie had a very good base, but the acting was horrendous, and horrible! This is the worst acting that I have ever seen! Except for the adults, they were pretty good. For this movie if they got better actors and actresses this movie would be an excellent movie! Whenever something scary happened all of the actors and actresses wouldn't even act scared they would just run, they would also scream but it definitely wasn't real! I am definitely not seeing this movie ever again! No wonder I have never heard of any of these actors and actresses, for most of them this was the first and probably only thing they have ever done, and I can most definitely tell why! I most definitely do not recommend this movie for any age groups!

Saying this movie has bad acting is being unfair to bad actors. My wife walked into the room and remarked on one of the child actor's apparent "issues" but then realized that it was just a very bad performance. But, all the talent (with the exception of the eldest son) in this movie is on an equal, very bad level. This includes the writing and direction and editing and art direction and everything else so one really can't blame the kids. This is an after school movie that couldn't find a school to go after.On the other hand, my 9 year old watched the whole thing and he can be a tough sell. Go figure...

**some spoilers but you really have nothing to spoil**This has to be some of the worst acting i have seen in a very long time. It's bland, non inspirated, and frankly, nobody is even trying. That said, this movie goes all over the place. For a ghost story it throws in debt, corporate management, struggling parents, small town buy out, you name it. So at the end of the day, the kids save the day by raising 300k, which their mom owes the IRS so she won't have to sell the shop to the corporate suits which want to build something in its place. Even for a kids movie, it's stupid, and even my girlfriend's 6 year old sister didn't laugh... which is why i was watching this in the first place.
