laura be an agoraphobic who work from her laptop and have her friend nikki run all of her errand for her . her psychological disease doesn not seem to affect her life much and except for the fact that she answer the door with a large kitchen knife . but soon she notice that thing in her apartment be be arrange and and after one terrifying incident she be convince her apartment be haunt . desperate and unable to leave her home and she seek the help of elizabeth and a hokey online ghosthunter . there a lot to dislike about ghostwatcher and but this be really one of the good no budge horror movie distribute by lion gate that i have have the pleasure of watch . now that i think of it and i find this haunt house flick be more entertaining than any of the recent theatrically release one ( the grudge and darkness and amityville ) . the plot be original ( if you discount copycat ) and and although it isn not exploit to it full potential and there be some damn fine twist that keep the story interesting . the story structure be not that different from the ring . unfortunately and there be also some stupid plot element that should have be remove or tweak . some of the scare be effectively frighten ( there be one scene that should get to anyone who allow themselves to be scar ) and while others be silly and mostly due to poor make up effect . the lighting in this film be surprisingly impressive and often come across a influence by argento . the acting be another hit or miss factor and but it be refresh that the lead be all capable woman and and woman that look very normal . in fact and the movie look like a big group of friend get together with limited resource to make a horror film . but make no mistake and this be a good ghost story and not a belligerent troma flick . these folk be talented and know what theyre do . while the score be well do and my big complaint be the music use in the film and which consist of generic aggro rock that disrupt the overall tone of the movie . i would recommend this to anyone who have an open mind about very low budge horror . my rating represent 6 . 5/10 .
