Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

annevejb On the surface this has lots of weak acting by the kids, a particular verbal style, and I like the review that suggests that being tolerant is worth it, that these are just kids after all. These days there is a rather high standard in the quality of stories on film, but most of the best include flaws. Including deliberate flaws. The 'weak acting' is glaring, more than is often the case, but look the other way there is a story and, cringe of cringes, I wonder if the weak acting is actually a built in part of the story. To guess that I look to the final scene when ghost catcher is definitely wearing a bra. It seemed likely before but here the broad strap around her back stands out under her top. Also, the ham verbal style is gone. That disappeared after the ghost showed catcher an object that catcher needed. As a double check, if one looks to other features that the ghost catcher, Brittany Robertson, has had a part, small roles in Jesse Stone, Night Passage (2006) and Keeping Up With The Steins (2006), there is varied styles of acting of solid quality. To like this I needed to be able to shrug off the flaws. If the ham is deliberate I would prefer otherwise in this case. I still found it practical to get to like this. I assume that the very young might like this story and to them the flaws might not be blatant, more the way that stories for the very, very young sometimes are? Those who are returning to childhood. Those who have been sunk to the level of ghost might find Ghost Club to be easy to work to like. If not seen too often. Others, well it is called the The Ghost Club, after all. This does not have the popularity rating of an animal's shrieking shack. Further, what the story is, I am not so sure that is a relevant issue. What counts is other. There has been an adventure that entailed spy and inventor and younger brother and occasionally older brother joining ghost catcher to save her family, with the help of someone long dead. Ghost catcher grows in a rather nice and well rounded way and that is what counts. * From a different angle. If I take the story seriously it makes for an interesting comparison with My Girl (1991). That has Vada facing a disastrous rite of passage that leads to her wearing a symbolic bra. It has a much wider appeal than the Ghost Club will ever have. My Girl is not a story for the youngest, though.

cagne-1 Saying this movie has bad acting is being unfair to bad actors. My wife walked into the room and remarked on one of the child actor's apparent "issues" but then realized that it was just a very bad performance. But, all the talent (with the exception of the eldest son) in this movie is on an equal, very bad level. This includes the writing and direction and editing and art direction and everything else so one really can't blame the kids. This is an after school movie that couldn't find a school to go after.On the other hand, my 9 year old watched the whole thing and he can be a tough sell. Go figure...

Tom Martinez As far as Kid Actors, you can't get much better. Maybe "The Sixth Sense" or "Road to Perdition" but those are not for kids. The plot might be a little far fetched but what movie isn't? It is refreshing to see how little kids can entertain us old folks for an hour and a half. I was holding my breath and almost passed out when the little runts entered the haunted house. So scary, so well filmed I could only scream aloud, "Wow that's some good stuff"! It reminds me of how "The Exorcist" made me feel: the nervous sweat, the rapid heartbeat, and the dry mouth. The only cure for what I got would be a quick release of the sequel. Anyhow, I loved this movie so much I bought the video and recommend all kids under fifteen to go out and buy this silly little flick. Peace Out.

lauren1581-1 all of the critics need to remember that it's a kid's movie. kids starred in the movie. can you really expect that much? it's not supposed to be very in depth, plot twisting, or cause too much thinking. and it was obviously low budget, but well done for the price. it's almost like British children's panto. humorous because of the bad acting. it's definitely not on the par of, let's say, a mary kate and ashley olsen production, but i think the effort put into it definitely came across. there's enough to keep the audience entertained, and for a local project it was definitely good for the whole community that got involved. i think those that think this is the worst film ever made need to see "angry red planet."
