Ghost Town Audience Reviews

NipPierce Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
merklekranz The walking dead inhabit a ghost town in the modern day southwest. Among the town folk is a monstrous villain who terrorizes everyone. Into this hell hole stumbles a modern day sheriff, looking for a missing girl. The effects, makeup, and authentic location somewhat overcome the below average acting. Memorable characters include Bruce Glover as "Dealer", and even more interesting is Jimmie F. Skaggs as "Devlin". "Dealer" has a knack for telling the future through his card reading. "Your future will wait till you get there, it's the past you can't do anything about." Skaggs actually saves the film as the nasty villain "Devlin". A strong bad guy is an essential part of any good western, or for that matter any zombie western. - MERK
prj754 Excellent.Very original idea that seemed to go almost completely unnoticed,what a shame.Nothing about this movie could have been improved upon.It is one of those movies you can watch over and over and over again.Without EVER getting tired of it.It falls into the same category as Carnival Of Souls.I have seen both movies over a dozen times.The actors I had never heard of before.Until I seen this movie.All concerned were excellent,totally convincing.Franc Luz,Gorgeous Catherine Hickland,Jimmie Skaggs,Bruce Glover,Penelope Windust(V) Michael Alldredge and Laura Schaefer who I will swear is Laura Branigan's twin sister.This like so many other movies.May never be released on DVD.If you can find the VHS.You'll be glad you did.I give this movie a solid 10.Because it simply doesn't get any better than this!
kick4gwar i saw this movie when i was a kid, and it is way cool. it kinda reminds me of movies made in that time like the gate, and the pit. cool late 80s movies ruled. this movie had some cool special effects for the time too. it seems like now, its just forgotten. i wonder if anyone else has seen it who remembers it for being cool. i think it would totally rule to get this out on DVD. it wasn't until recently that garbage pail kids came out officially. we need the monster squad too. does anyone else have any ideas for cool movies that are similar that need to come out on DVD? all of those movies rule. it brings me back to a time when movies were good, these days movies just seem to suck.
Gislef One of the better horror movies I've seen in the last decade, Ghost Town has a dreamlike quality to it that lends to its weird combination of Western, ghost movie, and conventional horror/slasher flick. From the opening sequence (where an invisible horseman pursues a modern-day automobile), to the bizarre sequences with The Dealer, to the final wrap-up, the whole pic segues in from dreams to flashbacks, from modern-day to 1890s, until you're not sure exactly where you stand. Highly recommended.
