Wonderful character development!

Critics,are you kidding us

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The budget doesn't really make a movie. A film could be bad in almost every aspect but still have some saving graces that make it entertaining. "Death of a Ghost Hunter" is NOT one of those examples.The only thing that could have saved this movie is a decent story and one that stays completely relevant to its title but "DoaGH" doesn't do that. The story tries way too hard to make a twist ending that the actual established subject of the film suddenly takes a backseat and the film looks like it is scrambling to tie up all its loose ends—this ends up giving the movie more endings than it needed. This is very evident thanks to the fact it's supposed surprise ending is painfully predictable and very lackluster.The rest of the film doesn't do much better as the editing is painful to endure and the acting is even worse. However, this is the price you pay when watching something that clearly had the budget that couldn't even pay for the pizzas that would be needed to feed the crew.

There are many things that will take you out of a movie, bad writing, bad acting, bad story, and overall bad cinematography. This movie has it all, except for one thing, actual horror. The movie starts off trying to sell you the typical horror movie lie; "This really happened, the following events were real events!" No, they're not. Nothing in real life could be as dull as this. Then we are greeted to what feels like an eternity of narration by our main lead, who explains to us everything she sees, to the point you want to scream "Yes I know you are looking at a bird cage, I can see that, you don't need to tell us!" After that, we are introduced to the other characters, a comic relief, a bimbo, and, of course, a cartoon character Christian, who, like all cartoon character Christians, are huge stick in the muds that have to ask Jesus if it's okay for them to poop or not. And whoever directed this movie choose the finest actors the dump had to offer, with delivery that rivals that of audio book narrators (not the good ones). So let's get down to the biggest problem with the movie. It's not that the story is crap, or the characters are bland and cliché, or that the actors aren't trying; the biggest problem is, it's boring. The only thing that can get you through it is making fun of how bad it is, and even then it's still cringe worthy and the scenes of them just doing nothing but "ghost hunting" leave you with nothing; nothing to make fun of and nothing for you to be interested in. So, if you're one of those people who like really bad movies, this is kind of in your alley, but if you want a suspenseful, scary ghost movie, I recommend Poltergeist. (Mainly because there's a scene in Death of a Ghost Hunter where the main character gags with disgust after some mentions the latter, I guess she's allergic to good movies).

OK. Not all the actors are very good. That being sad, this is actually a pretty good movie.The title says it all but the road to the hunters death is interesting. A bigger budget may have made it even better but they did pretty good as it was. A ghost hunter, film crew, and a representative of the church walk into a haunted house...sounds like the set up to a joke. What happens next is there attempt to document the haunting and the ghost hunter becomes personally involved. A nice twist to the end. The best thing I can say about any movie is that I would watch it again and I could definitely watch this one again.

This film...this film....this film. :/ By now I'm sure you've read that the acting wasn't great. True. It seemed very unrehearsed and totally on-the-fly in most of the shots.The sound editing was horrible. (FAIL!) Very frustrating and unprofessional. One minute I'm struggling to hear the dialogue, a few seconds later I'm grabbing the remote and adjusting the volume by at least 50% because of the loud volume. It was VERY annoying to say the least. (Seriously, how can a film be edited like this?)The Story was a bit unusual - not very predictable (although some reviews her have argued otherwise) and the ending was strange. I had questions during the film, but I wont beat up the story for it. I think the film would have been better off without the cameraman and the reporter. Although the best line of the movie was from the cameraman... "From now on - I'm only doing weddings!". (I chuckled).The scenes were awkward and didn't blend or transition well for the most part, and the actors in the film didn't have very much chemistry for the viewer to feed off of. Everything seemed force-fed. In my opinion the story, the scenes, and it's players needed to breath a little bit...give it some space. It never happened. Lindsay Page was interesting. I'm still not sure what to think about her - but I was intrigued by her characters strange personality. I would liked to have seen her character become a bit more developed in the story, as she added a creepy sense of uneasiness to the whole vibe (maybe instead of the wacky ending).The simple special effects were effective, and well placed. If they'd have used more simple video camera shots - I think it would have covered up the low-end production that was so obvious from the start (as Blair Witch or Paranormal Activity did.) That's a turn-off for many who will probably never give this film a chance once it begins.The music was excellent! Simple piano notes gently tapping a well timed eerie melody. This was the best element of the film for me.:/ (Sigh......) I can understand why anyone would HATE this film....but I liked it. I think the nature of the story, combined with the music sucked me in.I do think this movie fell short of what it could have been. That's what's most disappointing.I give it a 6 out of 10, or a C-. (I feel like I shouldn't be so nice....meh....I'll consider the source.)
