The Headless Ghost Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Michael O'Keefe This ghost tale is a horror flick that is mostly mediocre comedy. Director Peter Graham Scott doesn't really seem too have much to work with. Three exchange students and beginner ghost hunters visit an old English castle that the Earl of Ambrose(Jack Ellen)has turned into a tourist trap by purporting that the castle is haunted. Before closing time the three decide to hide and stay the night to see for themselves if the castle is really haunted. They are shocked when a spirit from one of the many portraits gives the scared trio a personal guided tour. He than asks if they would aid him in helping another ghost locate his missing head.The list of players include: Richard Lyon, Liliane Scottane, David Rose, Clive Revill and Mary Barday.
bensonmum2 I suppose that The Headless Ghost is harmless enough, but honestly, movies don't get much more bland than this. It's a bit like eating a mayonnaise sandwich on white bread - not very exciting with nothing to look forward to. The plot is laid out in the first 10 minutes and everything that follows fits nicely in place with nary a surprise in sight. While touring a supposed haunted castle, three college students hide out so they can spend the night and write about their experiences. They soon meet a whole gang of ghosts - one of which is missing his head. To get out of the castle, the intrepid trio will have to help the ghost find his head. Unfortunately, that's about all there is to it. What a big bland way to spend an hour or so of your life! The college students are as dull as dishwater, their comedy bits are too lame to be funny, there's not a thrill or fright to be had, and the dialogue is stilted and uninteresting. In fact there's really not an exciting moment to be had in all of The Headless Ghost. A 3/10 from me.
Chris Gaskin I've just watched The Headless Ghost for the first time and quite liked it, even though I'm not a huge fan of comedy. This had a little drama with it two.A coach load of tourists arrive at the haunted Ambrose Castle and three of these, two Americans and a young Dainish woman decide to stay behind for the night to see if it really is haunted. It isn't long before strange things start to happen and one of the ghosts appears from a painting and later, they confront the Headless Ghost of the title and end up helping him to get reattach his head to his body and achieve this at the end.Despite it being a comedy, The Headless Ghost is rather creepy and atmospheric at times.Watch it if you get the chance. Great fun. Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
preppy-3 I saw this many times on a local TV station back in the late 1970s. Every Saturday afternoon they showed two old horror films back to back. With a few exceptions they were BAD horror films. This is one of the worst.Stupid ghost story of three annoying teenagers (two American guys, one Danish woman) visiting a haunted castle in England. There they meet a ghost who has (literally) lost his head. They help him find it.Honestly...that's the entire plot! There's nothing else. The sets are real cheap looking (looks like they were made of cardboard), the special effects are atrocious (the headless ghost especially), the dialogue and plot are lame and the acting is really BAD! There isn't one remotely scary (or interesting or intelligent) moment in the entire film--it just drags on and on. The only reason I watched it was to avoid doing homework! Not even bad enough to be funny--just bad enough to be bad! A real must miss. I give it the lowest rating--1.
