I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Greetings from Lithuania."Ghost Stories" (2017) felt very flat the more it moved to the end. While this isn't a bad movie by any means, any chances on calling this not bad horror movie vanished the more this movie moved to the ending which was just sill and pretentious and total nonsense. There were some spooky moments in this movie here and there, but like i said, the ending was just nonsense giving the overall experience a very disappointing taste. Overall, "Ghost Stories" (2017) is just a very meeehhh... horror flick. Its not particularly scary but its nicely paced, but the ending just felt flat. A disappointing movie overall.

Not sure how well this worked on stage but it was absolute crap on film. A waste of some good acting talent the director /actor should go and watch some more films, or go back to film school or just quit and get a job at Mcdonalds. Completely without suspense and the ending was s***e.

Great acting. Story starts off well then it just turns to the usual mundane mad axe man scenerio that you often see in modern horrors. This isn't a horror film more like a psychological thriller. Anyway it's been done before and nothing original sadly with the ending. In beginning to wonder if we brits can tell a good ghost story without using humans to explain the supernatural. We've got enough history and stories to present a decent ghost story that is a proper paranormal event as opposed to being a let down. Try again.

Clever, but not overly clever. Not so clever that you want to punch the writer(s) in the face. I was very surprised and satisfied with the ending of the film, and thoroughly enjoyed the path the storytellers took the viewers on to reach the conclusion. I watched it multiple times after renting in order to locate the delicious little hints that pointed to what was actually going on in the film. My first viewing was obviously the most satisfying: sitting alone in my lil' house in the woods, late at night, with all the lights off. The silence and darkness of my surroundings definitely added to the overall experience. I also really enjoyed the subsequent viewings, which helped me understand reasons behind certain shots, bits of dialogue, etc. And it was still scary the second and third times around! I thought each paranormal case presented in the film was uniquely frightening. The filmmakers made effective use out of many different types of scares. It isn't overly gory, which I appreciate because I am not really into blood and guts. There was a lot of suspense and eerie sounds, which I love. And some spooky critters, which I also love. The lighting (or darkness, I guess) in the first scenario was really unsettling. And then...the soul horror. Lawd have mercy. Thought Martin Freeman stole the show, but then he usually does. Really enjoyed the 3 or so minutes with Kobna Holdbrook-Smith as the priest. His dialogue was beautifully written and performed. Alex Lawther is always creepy. He could do a sweet-as-sugar romcom with Emma Watson and he would still freak me out. Love the cover art/film poster/whatever you call it as well. All in all, I found it really enjoyable. Classically spooky with modern twists. Good times.
