Ghost Month Review

 
Written by: EasterBunnyKiller    

Ghost Month was one of those movies that left me supremely upset, because the first ten minutes or so seemed very promising, and it all seemed to go downhill from there. After the first half hour or so, it became a chore to watch. It felt like an exercise in masochism, and it took me about 3 hours to watch the whole thing because I couldn't stomach the entire cliche-ridden plot in a single sitting.

It felt like all aspects of the movie got progressively worse with each passing minute. It started out with a likable character and decent acting, and degenerated into an annoying girl acting with spells of melodrama. It started out with a decent premise, then became riddled with plot devices so used that it had me nearing tears. The music began decent, but became repetitive and boring. 

The only semblance of fear that came to me while watching Ghost Month was the fear that it might never end. It was a classic case of a movie that seemed to have potential, but fell back against 'safe' movie practices, which made the movie fall apart. Pass on this film if you can. Punish your friends for paying money to see it. Stop being their friend if they get this movie for you.
