A ghost story movie is one of the thrilling New Horror Movies. The director of this film tells the story of two ghosts, his wife and how grief can drive the mind into a state of delirium. Lowery steps outside the box of regular ghosting haunting plots to bring us something deeper. The film lasts around the duration of a normal cinema film and can boast of an intelligent composition. The movie budget stood at $100,000 and made about $1.9 million in the box office which is not bad compared to the budget of the movie. The film is a deep story that is made up of different stories across time loops.

A Ghost Story Movie Review
Anyone will admit that is not a movie for children but it is not exactly scary. The movie basically pushes you to ponder about life and the afterlife. It makes you wonder about the essence of life and if it would feel like we ever lived when we are gone.
The movie, however, should provoke some thought in discovering that this is the message the film is trying to pass across. Although the message seems like it’s laying on the surface. It seems as if the message is conveyed in a rather light manner. The movie also doesn’t make use of much dialogue. So if you were hoping for that, your bubble will be burst. The duration of the film is quite perfect for this film but a quarter of it could easily be discarded because some parts didn’t seem quite necessary. The ghost story movie just has a few slip ups here and there but it is clear that Lowery is talented. The movie requires a patient and inquisitive mind. If you’re one always in for the action, the stunts and the OMG moments, we doubt you’d like this one.
