Granted, I had virtually no idea what I was getting into here, as I sat down to watch the the horror/thriller movie titled "Blind Ghost". I found the title to be alluring and the movie's cover/poster actually was fair enough, not top of the line, but it was adequate enough.
So writer and director Stuart Paul had every opportunity to impress and bedazzle me here with the 2021 movie "Blind Ghost".
Perhaps the movie was titled "Blind Ghost" because it was actually written by a blind ghost? Wow, are you kidding me, this movie's script and storyline was just atrocious. It was so poorly written that it was painful to sit through. The concept idea was a mess. The characters were so bland and monotonous that you were falling asleep. The dialogue was just so wooden and rigid that it felt like it was composed by randomly drawing sentences from a hat, as to it being properly written dialogue.
I endure a staggering 30 minutes of this ordeal titled "Blind Ghost", then I was ready to claw out my eyes and rip off my ears. The acting was so wooden and devoid of emotion that it was just ridiculous to witness. And the fact that the entire movie just fell short of delivering even anything remotely entertaining just didn't help to sell the movie or win me over.
Now, I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. And that is usually something I enjoy in movies, as the performers aren't associated with previously portrayed characters or roles. But wow, the cast ensemble in this movie weren't cutting it, not even remotely. The acting performances didn't even feel up to par with what you'd see in a high school theater show.
And it didn't really help much that the characters had the appeal of wet cardboard and had the most poorly written dialogue handed to them.
Nay, "Blind Ghost" was a swing and a miss, and a big one at that. I have no intention of returning to watch the rest of this movie, as nothing in the 30 minutes I suffered through appealed to me in any way.
My rating of writer and director Stuart Paul's "Blind Ghost" lands on a generous two out of ten stars, mostly because there was something fair enough to the production value.
