Pay the Ghost (2015)
7/10
IT'S HERE
13 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The film opens with and incident in 1679 New York and jumps to the present. Mike Lawford (Nicolas Cage) is a professor of horror literature in NYC. While celebrating Halloween with his son Charlie (Jack Fulton) he suddenly goes missing with his last words being "pay the ghost." Mike is not convinced his son is dead, and goes on a search. The film plays out like a modified POLTERGEIST, which I though was a better movie.

This would make a decent Halloween film for the kids complete with turkey vultures and a creepy blind man. Could give them nightmares with the shadow images. For seasoned horror film watchers, this is just one of a pack of ghost films, done well, but not over powering.

Guide: No sex or nudity. Don't recall any swearing.
