Maybe
GHOST STORY could have been a better movie, but as it is it
is still a pretty damn fine story. The character motivations are pretty clear, the acting is good as well as the pacing (maybe it can be a bit slow, but it
is a ghost story) and the FX. I never really understood the problem people had with it.
Still wish Dick Smith's original faceless ghost was in the movie though...
I think the only problem I have with the movie is the extremely terrible blue screen "death" of Craig Wasson in the beginning. They could have easily just had him scream and do a 1st person POV as the camera fell through the skylight.
