Ghost Story

Given the year this came out, this is a pretty good suspense movie. If you like the movie the Ring or the Grudge you will probably like this. A lot of old time actors with a hidden secret. Also the actress... Full review

I enjoyed the book by Peter Straub. It was kind of fun and creepy. The movie, on the other hand, is cartoony and goofy. The performances by the veteran actors can't come close to making up for the lack of direction... Full review

But the fight scenes--all choreographed and shot by the great fight director Tony Ching Siu-tung ("A Chinese Ghost Story")--amplify that emotion. And I think this film is the more powerful. They're also superb actors as well. ... Full Review

Ghost Story presents some interesting scenarios, but, on the whole, is an uneven concoction that boils in the kettle, but burns and scalds without letting us enjoy a fulfilling storyline. Fred Astaire fares the best of the quartet, with the always marvelous Melvyn Douglas bringing up a very close second. ... Full Review

He's quite good in Ghost Story . The audience I saw the film with in 1981 laughed at its basic absurdity -- and Wasson's full-frontal nudity. Fred Astaire was one of those talents who seemed to do everything well. ... Full Review

Ghost Story falls short of the mark by virtue of director John Irvin's lack of compelling imagery. Ghost Story isn't a failure - in fact, it makes for a passable rental because for all its narrative faults ... Full Review
