Anton Bitel Little White Lies While ghosts are traditionally raised by a spiritualist at séance, here television itself is, in more than one sense, the medium for Pipes’ conjuring. Oct 31, 2022 Full Review Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com The reason this movie works so well is because of the committed performances from everyone in the movie. Rated: A Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Jorge Loser Espinof Despite the implausibility and wackiness of its last stretch, 'Ghostwatch' confuses, shocks and horrifies... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4.5/5 May 24, 2024 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …a weird harbinger of the found footage era, and a challenging, edgy television show, the likes of which will never be allowed on the air again… Rated: 4/5 Oct 31, 2022 Full Review Kat Hughes THN The broadcast that terrified a generation, Ghostwatch still retains its ability to unnerve. Rated: 4/5 Oct 22, 2022 Full Review Glenn Dunks Glenn Dunks Perhaps it was ahead of its time, but one of the most successfully convincing hoaxes since Orson Welles's War of the Worlds should probably boast a greater legacy.

Audience Member Very entertaining. Creepy found footage style horror movie. Very well done. Ahead of its time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Dallas H Ghostwatch is the television equivalent of Orson Welles's 1938 radio broadcast for "War of the Worlds". I got a kick out of watching this movie. In retrospect, it's glaringly obvious to be a premise concept, but the production pulls it together and sells it very well. And I find it to be a bit ironic and intriguing how about ten years later we witness the start of the television trend of ghost-hunting television programs infiltrating across basic cable networks. If you haven't watched this movie yet, I highly recommend watching it with headphones on because listening to the audio in a distraction-free environment enhances the viewing experience. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review g j I guess you had to be there. This was just boring and silly when taken out of the context as a 1992 live BBC broadcast. The acting is pretty cringe too. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Mike P This movie's reputation proceeds it...And it's MOSTLY deserving.. Creepy found footage type mockumentary; reminds me of things like Amityville Horror; Blair Witch Project, also Poltergeist, Paranormal Activity and even Late Night With the Devil...which has a BBC Anchorwoman accepting a dare to stay overnite in a haunted house in Old London with her film crew...with unexpected results. Some chilling scenes... Overall: Thumbs up Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review Jonathan G Ghostwatch is as inventive as it is stunning and unnerving, which is quite a lot. A very believable mockumentary, this actually managed to scare me? God it's great. I love it. When we use the term "experiencing cinema", this is what we're talking about. Absolutely great and terrifying stuff. Horror gold. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Kay C The found footage flick I hold all others in the same genre to. Hard to top. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
