Title: Ghost Month Genre: Horror Starring: Marina Resa, Akiko Shima, Rick Irvin, Anna Lee, Shirly To, Jerod Edington, Tam Albertson Director: Danny Draven Studio: North American Motion Pictures Runtime: 100 Minutes Release Date: July 21, 2009 Format: DVD Discs: 1 MPAA Rating: Rating: () Grade: D Alyssa needs to disappear for a while and working at the Wu house is about as isolated an experience you can get. Unfortunately at this time on the Chinese calendar it is Ghost Month, a time when the dead come back for one month looking to switch places in hell with the living. Alyssa finds out its more then superstition but are the ghosts that torment her trying to send her to hell or do they have other plans? Where to begin? The acting is terrible but the story isn’t all that bad, though not all that great. If you can stick it out through Marina Resa’s god awful delivery and, lets face it, despite the terrible acting her character is written in flat annoying; making stupid decisions, terrible dialogue, nosy, etc. Well, you might just find the story is decent enough. However, writer/director Danny Draven (Evil Bong) throws in a lot of filler; wasted characters, never ending dream sequences, over emphasis on the ghosts. The film could have been thirty minutes shorter and been just as effective. A rainy day selection at best but nothing to get excited over. For a straight B movie it just took itself to seriously and should have included a lot more dark humor, and if Draven wanted to go so serious, why not find some actors who could make it work? |
