Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with the 2022 horror movie titled "A Town Full of Ghosts" prior to sitting down to watch it. And had I been familiar with it and known it was a 'found footage' movie, I wouldn't have given the movie the time of day. I absolutely loathe that subgenre of movies, as they are usually nothing more than amateurish attempts to make movies with a handheld camera.
The storyline in "A Town Full of Ghosts", as written by writer and director Isaac Rodriguez, was actually not all that bad. But the movie suffered terribly from being a 'found footage' movie, and that totally drained away my will and interest to really delve into this movie. Suffice it to say that I didn't stick around to the end of this ordeal.
The whole concept of 'found footage', social media video-makers, content makers, influencers, or whatever these type of losers call themselves, just doesn't appeal to me. And thus, "A Town Full of Ghosts" was a bitter pill to swallow.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but then again, I can't claim that I was particularly impressed or bedazzled by what I witnessed on the screen, as I just can't take the 'found footage' genre seriously.
Visually, then you're not in for anything grand here.
If you enjoy horror movies, do yourself a favor and skip on this one. It just simply isn't worth the effort. If you, however, enjoy the travesty that is 'found footage' films, then you might enjoy this 2022 movie from writer and director Isaac Rodriguez.
My rating of "A Town Full of Ghosts" lands on a two out of ten stars.
