Video for this Script on YouTube: Disembodied Screams
Spoilers, possibly, maybe, proceed with caution. You’ve been warned.
I stumbled onto this movie on Hulu by accident and being a fan of the haunted house – ghost genre. I thought why not give it a shot and I am glad I did. This movie is great from start to finish and very captivating. Keeps you watching. Hard to turn off. I thought it was going to be more of a gimmick style movie and that’s it but the POV of a ghost, mostly, throughout the film worked exceptionally well. I was surprised by how well it worked and I was surprised I got a few goose bumps too and a few good chills as well.
Directing is the true star of this one. Steven Soderbergh does an amazing job keeping your attention with minimal cuts and constant POV shots of a ghost watching the world move on without it. Story was good and so was the script, acting solid, the actors did a great job in their roles and that also helped to keep you interested because they got you invested in their characters and rooting for or against them.
As you watch this movie you kind of feel like this dread lays heavy over everything and you know something bad is going to happen eventually and when it does, it’s bad, real bad. I like how they tie this bad event back into the overall theme of the movie. I also like that this movie had a short run time, which helped with the retention because there is no bloat at all – lean and tight throughout.
A lonely lost ghost
Wandering through each crisis
