Just plain awful...

Rating: 1/10 (15 August 2004)

Ghost is a hold over from the atrocious movie making style of 1980's Hollywood which would not take a chance on serious film after the high budget "Heaven's Gate" flopped in the early 80's. (Hollywood in the 80's were marked by a series of teen films and crappy semi-serious films that were so maudlin they seem comic in retrospect). Ghost is one of these just plain awful films. Bad acting, bad writing and terrible "special effects". It is a sappy piece of trash that was popular with people who see one or two films a year. Whoopi Goldberg overacts horribly and the whole premise is ridiculous. Good riddance to the bad Hollywood film making of the 1980's!
