filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Melissa Mendelson A vicious murder falls into the lap of Detective Harrison, a conflicted character haunted by his past. This is to be his final case, but as the pieces of a puzzle begins to follow the bodies that surface, he will find himself being pulled backward, retracing a moment of his life that he wished to forget. And as the killer remains on the loose, questions over the disappearance of the detective's partner will begin to to have an answer, an answer that could change everything and everyone, and time has started to count down to the moment, where the detective must choose between secrets believed to have been buried and justice waiting.Chasing Ghosts is a true blend of mystery, suspense, and drama. Through the depth of Michael Madsen and the brilliance of a talented cast of actors, we are thrown into a plot, where the characters must solve a deadly game before it's too late, and one man is left clinging to his past, afraid to let go. And as the twists and turns keep on coming, the storyline becomes a roller-coaster of conflict and intrigue, pulling you down into an ending that you never expect. And you will be left haunted by one chasing ghosts.

peter-ramshaw-1 Hey, for a million bucks, you can't work miracles these days. Sure,this is a B-grade Se7en but it's not as bad as some reviewers have indicated. The plot's a bit convoluted but, in the end I think you get the idea. Madsen is as good as always and the semi-high-key treatment is quite moody. The was an overly obvious give away (when the 'new' cops takes off his shirt and his back is full of bullet holes) which really did lessen the impact of the final reveal. Nevertheless the plot was intriguing and, unlike a number of other reviewers, I'm of the view that it doesn't really need to sew up every single question in the viewer's mind to be effective. Sometimes, in films like this, a little mystery at the end is OK as it's still satisfying enough for closure.

PersianPlaya408 I actually found this film which is rated pretty low on IMDb and seen by very few (only 337 votes) to be pretty effective. I mean it wasn't amazing suspense film, but it definitely wasn't what some described as "no better than a TV movie". It was much better, Michael Madsen did very well and the supporting cast was decent too, the direction was kinda average but the screenplay and plot made sense and actually executed pretty well and wasn't predictable. I liked the cinematography from Andrew Heubscher and dark score from Scott Glasgow. I also liked the editing in this film done by the director Kyle Dean Jackson, perhaps thats his main talent. Overall it was a movie worth renting, i was satisfied, nothing amazing, but a solid suspsense film. ---IMDB Rating: 5.3, my rating: 8/10

Bladerunner• Madsen does Madsen like he always does, but here it fits the movie like a glove. The cinematography is outstanding; the Director of Photography deserves an Oscar nod for doing what he did on this budget. The music is spotty, one minute it is near greatness, the next minute it seems forced and mis-matched to the tension of the film. Still, the composer did an incredible job considering his budget. He did the whole thing on a Mac, with a MOTU Traveler using samples and a single recording session with strings only. The kind of atmosphere the director (Kyle Dean Jackson) was able to stir up with such a limited budget is remarkable.There isn't a poor performance in the bunch, save one: Corey Large. Large has all the passion of a rice cake. The guy simply cannot emote, which is sad because Shannyn Sossamon gives a tour de force performance opposite someone giving her nothing. I am very interested to see what this young director will do next, because he certainly does have what it takes to make a good movie. Frankly I tend to believe that the writer, producer and (uncredited) second director Alan Pao had a LOT to do with this film's excellence. Here's hoping that we'll see many more good things from both Jackson and Pao in the future.
