Ghost face once again terrorises Woodsboro, faces old and new.
I went in with fairly low expectations, and came out of the cinema feeling thoroughly entertained. It wasn't perfect, but it was a very good installment, it managed to pack a lot in to what by today's standards is a moderate running time (refreshing not to be sat
for 2.5 hours!)
Let's begin with the two best elements for me, firstly the visuals, this movie looks terrific, some gorgeous shots, those behind the camera did a tremendous jobs. Secondly, the horror element, they managed to surprise you constantly, you didn't know when the next scare was coming, good fun for those that love jump scenes.
Nostalgia seems to be the order of the day in films for 2021/2022, and if you're a fan of the first few, there is a lot here to enjoy. They really do pay homage to the first one. A good awareness of where the film sits in the franchise history, and some nice commentary.
Slightly more serious than the last few, don't expect the humour from years gone by, there isn't much of it.
I'm reminded of the Halloween reboot, it's a quality film, that embraces its past, but offers something new as well.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, 8/10.
A nice touch regarding Wes.
