SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

chrismackey1972 Billy Zane plays the director of a music video, which is filmed in a studio that used to be the home of a girl, who is now dead. Her ghost is haunting the place, and Zane talks his sound techie into keeping quiet about it for fear of losing his crew. As the story proceeds, we are introduced to his crew and actors, many of whom are there to be kill bait for the malicious ghost. This was much better than I thought it was going to be, and it was done in a tongue-in-cheek manner. I like the twist towards the end where we find out about Charles Manson's (yes, the serial killer) kid. I found the movie surprisingly fun. It's not great, probably not even good, but it was entertaining. The special effects were nothing to brag about, but considering the budget was probably low, the effects weren't bad. Boobs, butt, blood, and gore are in this. There's plenty of gore to go around, though they didn't go crazy with it. Christine Bentley gets naked for a shower scene, and later, she is forced to stick her face into a fan, chopping it off.Billy Zane is hilarious. He can't get Laurel's name right. He keeps calling her Lauren.Lacey Chabert has become a really good actress, however,- as I said earlier - this is done in tongue-in-cheek fashion, so don't expect an Oscar worthy performance.Danielle Harris looks a lot like Chabert - they could be sisters. She does a good job on her role as one of the dancers who becomes possessed by the ghost.Christine Bentley has a hot body...it's even hotter in the nude scene. Overall, she's brought into the movie to be the big-boobed, blond sexpot.I gave this a 5-star rating because it was funny, entertaining, and it didn't hurt that the girls were hot. Oh, it was also somewhat original, as I've never seen a movie that had a ghost haunting a studio, not that I can remember anyway.

Ted Gianopulos Let me start out by saying that I am a major horror movie fan and watch a LOT of movies that come out that are supposed to be scary but it turns out that about 90% of these so called "horror" movies are not, and what's worse is they are filled to the rim with bad acting, bad cinematography, bad direction, bad sound, bad effects and everything else that makes a movie just a torture to sit through. THIS MOVIE however, is NOT. Okay, so it's not a $200 million endeavor but in my opinion, this movie was WAY more entertaining then World War Z, which cost close to $300 million after re-shoots.Here is what I saw that was entertaining for me. The story, although similar to a few other films, was executed pretty well. The acting was solid from pretty much all the actors in the film. Billy Zane rocked his part and made me think he should be doing more comedy because he actually made his character of the producer, which everyone pretty much hates in real life, a good likable guy. I laughed out loud at some of his comments during the film. Well done Billy! The cinematography, although semi-amateurish, worked for me. It had an overall low-budget feel to it, but that didn't bother me. The CG effects were great, the only think I wish was done better was the sound design for the scares. If done correctly, this could have been really scary! I'm almost tempted to take the movie and re-edit the sound design with my own library to kick the adrenaline up a notch in the right places. Lastly, the girls in the movie are all totally gorgeous and a lot of fun to watch. What's even better and actually pretty amazing is that they all did a great job with their acting! Doesn't happen often. Fantastic job ladies! Anyways, after watching all the garbage put out by The Asylum and crappy companies that should literally have their right taken away to make movies because they are so friggin bad, Ghost of Goodnight Lane was a breath of fresh air and is actually inspiring that a decent movie can be made on a low budget with the right people working on it.

Annie Wilkes I'm not sure which film my fellow reviewers were watching, but anyone who can give this atrocity anything more than one star should be forever banned from calling themselves a horror fan. The fact that Billy Zane and Danielle Harris (who has starred in some pretty good horror films- Urban Legend for example ) star in this film made me think that it might be slightly watchable. Sadly that just not the case.Diabolical acting, ridiculous storyline and the fact that it looked like it had been filmed on someone's camera phone, means that this is basically 90 minutes of your life that you will never get back.Avoid it like the plague. Find yourself a patch of wet paint, and watch it dry.

Jesse Boland Well this is just awful, but what makes it even worse is that it has all been done on purpose. Many people will watch this for Billy Zane, and for those people this will be exactly what you are hoping for in Zane's non stop blabber and off hand remarks that on some occasions don't even have anything to do with the movie. Now fans of Lacey Chabert will be completely disappointed by the amount of screen time she actually gets, and the limited depth of her character. Lacey has talent, (find, and watch Thirst if you are not already as sure of that as you should be) but once again, she is being wasted in a terrible movie that very few people will actually ever watch. Now about the movie itself, there is no reason why it has to be this bad, they started out well, and they have stocked the movie with a lot of talent, it is just that the intention of the production team seems to have been to create something funny, sadly that mark was missed. Every door before it opens has to be shown first as a scary thing that the cameras must rush up to as if a great invisible beast were coming (every time). Why does it hate the doors so much? is almost funny, and sadly the only almost in there. The ghost is in the house, and of the house, so where is it coming from each time that it needs to storm the doors, or when no one is looking to get scared, why would it need to open doors sneakily? I'm sure I am taking this movie a lot more seriously than the cast did while they worked on it, but if you are going to choose a movie to be entertained by for an hour, and a half or more, you should at least be entertained. The acting is all fine, how can you fault a room full of improving actors when the script most likely just gives a rough idea, and says go nuts. I did not Enjoy this movie, and do not recommend it at all. Even a horror parody has to be based in something, or anchored somehow to some rule that does not change, this is too loose for it's own good.Jesse of www.Jesse.ca
