When (10-8-08 2 p.m.) I watched this, two reviewers had said this was an incredibly good movie with incredibly good acting -- so I watched it -- for about ten minutes, before asking myself "Am I watching this because it was free? Or is there something here I missed in the darkness of the first scenes?"

The acting is not up to a level sufficient for me to agree with those previous viewers' remarks. I'm giving it a 3 out of 10, adding a couple more for the mood setting that was good enough to keep me here for ten minutes, anyway.

I'm sorry, but it being free isn't enough reason for me to stay with it, hoping it will improve -- which I doubt it will ever would do.

If my comments make anyone miss something spectacular, forgive me, but to date, I've watched over 1900 movies that are far superior to this one, and only 5 or 6 I mistakenly sat through (for the sake of the person with me having recommended it -- or some such reason) that were anywhere near being in this same unsatisfactory category. ~~~

This is one of several dozen short films featured on IMDb for viewing in the United States. Whether or not it is or will be available in other countries is something I just don't know, though I hope it is because this is a quality film.

The film starts with three desperadoes running from the law after an armed robbery during the old American West. One of the men is badly injured and soon dies. When his body vanishes, the two remaining men realize they are trapped in some unholy town--one where they might just not be able to leave.

The film gets very high marks for setting an excellent mood. The sets and acting all work well and the film is genuinely chilling. Kudos for the film makers for getting such a great mood and story. Oddly, however, despite this, there are a lot of 1s for this film (too many). Additionally, one reviewer who loved the film already has lots of "not helpful" ratings. It kind of makes you wonder if somebody has it out for this film--especially since it is a pretty good film and shows a lot of talent.

This is without a doubt the most suspenseful short film I have ever seen. Everything from the story, to the cinematography, to the acting is incredible. I am not scared easily, and there were even a couple parts where I actually jumped. The thing I liked most about Ghost Town is that it had my attention from the very beginning, and held it throughout the entire movie. Also, the score for this film gave the movie an eerie feel that definitely made the movie that much more creepy! My only problem with this short film is that it has not been turned into a full length feature as of yet! I look forward to more amazing projects from writer/director Tai Logsdon!!
