StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Ploydsge just watch it!

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

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

begob A TV show investigates a haunted house. Live! On air! With household names! Unfair to judge this by the achievements of reality/found-footage productions since 1992, but the dialogue and acting are clearly weak, and the tone is confused between irony and sincerity.In the end there's a spooky sense of mystery as the live feed is cut off, but it's completely ruined by the hokey manifestation of the spook inside the studio. The story tellers failing to commit to their story.My preference would be for irony, and a satire of smug TV presenters. As it is - no scares, no laughs, and a feeling it was tossed together by people who didn't care.

samgiannn Before Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project and even the criminally underrated The Last Broadcast was Ghostwatch. While it didn't really define found footage like the aforementioned movies did (technically, 1980's Cannibal Holocaust was the first to do it), it was one of the first films to have the characters film a majority of their scenes. Ghostwatch is a mockumentary about four respected presenters and their camera crew who attempt to discover the truth behind the most haunted house in the UK, which first aired in 1992. Ghostwatch is complete with testimonials, calls to the set from viewers, and live footage shot by the camera crew, making the viewer feel like they're watching a legitimate documentary. This does start out rather slowly, making the most of the documentary-style filmmaking, but after that gimmick starts to wear off, the film switches to more of a horror film. The last half of the plot takes twists and turns that you'll never predict while still scaring you senseless. If you're a fan of mockumentaries or ghost movies in general, you don't want to pass up Ghostwatch.

bks-508-290401 With all the adverts about The Enfield Poltergeist recently, it brought back memories of Ghostwatch. I'd have been around 17 then, had already seen my fair share of horrors, and was pretty desensitised. Until I saw Ghost Watch. Apart from a bit of hammy acting from one or two cast members, everyone did a brilliant job, and I seriously thought this was or could've been real. ***Spoilers below***Throughout the show, the viewer is treated to little teasers here and there, "Was that Pipes by the curtain, or just my imagination?", and things of this nature. When the crew member faints after seeing the ghost behind the door, and you see a glimpse of it yourself, I swear I almost filled my trunks. But the scariest parts for me were when the girl started talking in that weird voice, and when Parkie was wandering around the studio supposedly possessed. It was at that point when I realised it couldn't be real, but this show messed with my head so much, to this day, I don't know if I could watch it again without being terrified. I watched a couple of documentaries the other day about the Enfield case, and after watching Janet doing that creepy voice, it brought those images flooding back and my skin went cold and prickly. I'm not sure today's generation would appreciate Ghost Watch, but back then, there were a lot of frightened viewers and quite a number of complaints about the content.

Anthony Pittore III (Shattered_Wake) I'm an American male currently in my twenties. . . therefore, when this film was originally released in 1992, I clearly wasn't someone who would've been seeing it. However, after seeing only good things about this "documentary," I decided to give it a watch. Some people said it was nightmare-inducing and truly terrifying. . . but, is it? The story is simple. . . a BBC crew is putting on a documentary regarding a regular British family being supposedly tortured by spirits in a regular British home. As the night progresses, the family and the crew become more and more involved in the secrets of the house and its past.I'm going to be honest. . . about 20ish minutes into this film, I had no interest in continuing. I'm one who loves a slow build-up, but the first 20 or so minutes of 'Ghostwatch' are just simply quite annoying. The crew and family are all irritating, most of the "experts" involved are pretty ignorant about the paranormal, and there really is nothing in the way of horror. However, once the story starts to build and things start to really kick into high gear, the film becomes a truly chilling experience. After the beginning, I did not believe there was any chance of my being scared by this film. By the end, though, I had a ball of blankets in my fist and I was peeking at the crack of my closet door waiting to see Pipes staring out at me. Keep your eyes open, look for the "little things," and you will be creeped out.Overall, 'Ghostwatch' is just another in the series of fantastic point-of-view supernatural horrors with 'The Blair Witch Project,' 'Rec,' 'Paranormal Activity,' and others that will seriously scare the wits out of you.Final Verdict: 8.5/10.-AP3-
