While ghosts are traditionally raised by a spiritualist at séance, here television itself is, in more than one sense, the medium for Pipes’ conjuring.

The reason this movie works so well is because of the committed performances from everyone in the movie.

Standing among fellow faux-horror legend Cannibal Holocaust, Ghostwatch is the Godfather of ghostly found-footage horror.

Ghostwatch’s commitment to realism hinders its ability to craft a compelling narrative, but the novelty of the approach, the early examples of found footage tropes, and a satisfyingly spooky ending make it a worthwhile addition to any Halloween watchlist.

This one was fun! I love these news style found footage movies (a few in a similar fashion such as late night w the devil and WNUF) but this one is probably my favourite of the bunch! Very much recommended

Excellent erotica thriller. There was a guy named Pipes, an honest to goodness glory hole and the whole thing was hosted by Victoria Paris!

at face value probably a 4 star but given its history and how it aired i easily have to give it a 5, probably one of the greatest pranks of all time
