== Death of a Ghost Hunter ==[[Image:35star.png]]* HorrorTwenty years after a minister and family were killed by the wife a noted "ghost hunter" is hired to investigate the house. For a low budget movie this story is haunting.  Most recently the type of jerky monster special effects in just about every other horror movie is totally avoided here.  This one is unique and almost plays like a docu-drama.  A reference to Blair Witch Project is made in the movie which, without doing, the film may have reflected on that script.  This is a good atypical horror movie that is different from anything else released recently.  Recommended.: [http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/Death_of_a_Ghost_Hunter/70100349 Netflix][[Image:15star.png]][[Image:10star.png]]This movie was really weak and there were just way too many logic failures to bother pointing out, so allow me to elaborate on a few of the most obvious ones.  Who's running the power plant?  All AM frequencies?  I guess someone didn't study radio theory.  It reminds me of old 1950's last human being alive type movie from the time of extreme low budget Sci-Fi and scripts that were written the night before filming.  It's a silly movie that completely fails to render a legitimate world after some type of zombie virus apocalypse.  There are better movies with the same theme and a much more believable world situation.  The only positive point to this film is the quality acting of Will Smith.  Lets face it; he is an underrated actor that performs well even when handed some really dopey scripts.  Unfortunately, he exercises little discretion on what movies he agrees to do.This movie was really weak and there were just way too many logic failures to bother pointing out, so allow me to elaborate on a few of the most obvious ones.  Who's running the power plant?  All AM frequencies?  I guess someone didn't study radio theory.  It reminds me of old 1950's last human being alive type movie from the time of extreme low budget Sci-Fi and scripts that were written the night before filming.  It's a silly movie that completely fails to render a legitimate world after some type of zombie virus apocalypse.  There are better movies with the same theme and a much more believable world situation.  The only positive point to this film is the quality acting of Will Smith.  Lets face it; he is an underrated actor that performs well even when handed some really dopey scripts.  Unfortunately, he exercises little discretion on what movies he agrees to do.  Update:  the more I think about this movie the more I realize it is simply stupid and I doubt I will invest time in watching it again.[[Image:40star.png]][[Image:35star.png]][[Image:35star.png]][[Image:30star.png]]
