Adam Mock Film Inquiry Ghost ultimately haunts the viewer with tight dialogue, brave character development, and powerful storytelling that gives you just enough of each before the explosive final act. Aug 6, 2021 Full Review Mark Goodyear Battle Royale With Cheese Ghost is the perfect encapsulation of a debut feature and will serve as a sturdy foundation for Antony Z. James to build upon. Apr 21, 2021 Full Review Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut A former thug tries to put his past behind him in the debut film of writer/director Anthony Z. James, who has a future ahead of him. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 9, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com ...for those who appreciate an emphasis on the characters amidst the action that unfolds this is an engaging thriller with a sort of lyrical quality that locks you into its rhythms and holds onto you until the story's finally been told. Dec 15, 2020 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Filmmaker Anthony Z James lets the story unfold in thoughtful scenes that catch details and moods. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 27, 2020 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Ghost tells a solid story of redemption with good acting and thanks to the iPhone wonderfully shot as well.

Audience Member This actually is a really good movie. The young girl is a great actress. The story was really interesting and well thought out. Very well done. Great to see the original cast in this at the end too. The last two Ghostbusters (all women cast) were just horrible...not because of women, but because the movies just sucked. This one was really good. I really liked it a lot. Great cast all around! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Great acting, nicely shot, thrilling story! Strong independent low budget feature film! Overall a very solid effort by Anthony Z. James. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It's refreshing that in a story centered around troubled men and their issues, the women in the periphery are not portrayed as victims or trophies, but completely self-reliant people. While the guys are trying to figure themselves out, the girls have theirs sorted by navigating the troubles, often created by their men, with education, focus, and perseverance. The female characters appear as safe havens for the men, guarded by doors and gates, and can be reached only when they drop their macho armor. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member The deliberate pacing and focus on characters' internal world makes the dramatic and intense scenes towards the end feel very real, almost like you're there. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Where this little indie shines is an intimate portrait of relationship between father and son - we see the walls being built and broken down by their awkward banter, letting the vulnerable warmth come through their tough and stoic facades. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Arthouse film fans might really enjoy this is as a very curious mix of British kitchen-sink social-realism and American mumblecore-style indies - imagine a crime drama made by Noah Baumbach or Joe Swanberg. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
