It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Ghost Team One (2013) - The Good, the Bad and the Cleverly Under-appreciatedSynopsis: Comedy/Horror movie shot in the home camera-documentary style about two friends, their battle for the same girl and the hilarious exploits in trying to capture the haunting of their house by an Asian Madame from the turn of the century.The Good: While this film is over-the-top in its sexual tropes, there is a lot of clever humor and fun to be had here if you allow yourself to enjoy the characters. The filming concept is basically a play on the Paranormal Activity schematic... house is haunted, document it by using a video camera and by setting other cameras up around the house. This is simply the borrowed device used to capture the film in a tongue-in-cheek way, it isn't what the movie is about. I think that concept has been lost on some of the other reviewers here. If you are looking for something scary, this isn't the movie to watch. This is about the characters and the ensuing hilarity involving a ghost that is driven to manifestation by sexual activity. If you can get past that concept, you might have a good time with this one. I found the characters fresh and very funny, for the most part. Tony Cavalero steals the show as Chuck, the former drug addict who is currently in a lengthy period of sobriety and because of it, he is very unbalanced and irrational. His possession scenes at the end are hilarious (as long as you can get past the Asian stereotypes). The movie succeeds because the characters are relate-able and how they interact while thrust into a crazy situation amidst fawning over a girl is fun to watch unfold.The Bad: Some of the humor is definitely groan-worthy, I admit. The concept is built on this uber-sexualized premise of two horny guys and a prostitute ghost, so of course the language and category of jokes are going to be somewhat low-brow in nature. If you can't handle that, this is one that is best passed by... although I feel it would be a mistake to dismiss this movie on that premise alone. There are elements of the movie that don't feel that fresh either. Even from a comedy/horror standpoint, this parody of Paranormal Activity has been done a few times, so the concept is one that is starting to get old. The characters save this particular submission to the movie-watching world, but that doesn't keep it from feeling a bit stale at certain times.The Cleverly Under-appreciated: Especially on IMDb, the reviews have been pretty brutal. As of right now, the overall rating is under 5.0 and I am not sure I get that. Maybe people are expecting a straight-up scary movie here? If so, maybe you need to learn a bit more about a movie before you watch it. Or maybe the concept went right over your head? Who knows. All I know is that I thought this movie was perversely clever at times and to me, it's being a bit under-appreciated. This isn't the type of movie for everyone... and I get that, but when Scary Movie is rolling with a 6.2 rating and this has a 4.8, I'm not sure I can wrap my head around that. The characters here are far more like-able and the style and execution is much fresher than a movie full of cringe-worthy gag humor. This movie's success for me is built on character interaction and script management. Both were pretty darn good for a low-budget comedy-horror. And this relatively unknown cast made me do something Scary Movie never did.... laugh.

Not a bad flick throughout. It lacks any truly frightening moments. Which can be disappointing as there are multiple moments when the music lead up and general tension leaves you wanting a scare.The three main actors do a good job carrying the lacking script along but one other man makes the whole thing worth watching. Tony Cavalero plays the newly sober roommate that can't stand the people he lives with and is having a lot of trouble with his new drug-free life style.Most of the movie goes along with Cavalero's character being a side joke. But thankfully for the sake of the viewer, he takes on a much bigger role toward the end. His amazing performance at the climax of the film make this movie worth while.You may get a few good laughs in throughout this film but the real reason for watching will be Cavalero's final performance.

This wasn't a horrible movie. The biggest problem that this comedy had was it's identity, it was as if it didn't know what it wanted to be. I watched it thinking "When are the laughs going to happen?". One scene had an overly long monologue with a woman in tears talking to the camera about the loss of her mother, and for a comedy it seemed completely out of place, and it is not the only scene that will have you scratching your head and wondering whether you're watching a comedy or not. Characters that should be comic relief, like the constantly angry roommate or the rightly paranoid girlfriend, provide little to no laughs, it's as if their characters are in the wrong movie. Opportunities for comedy come and go without anybody taking them. This is not a comedy spoof movie in the same comedy sub genre as Naked Gun, A Haunted House, Devil Baby, Scary Movie etc. It's filmed in the style of A Haunted House, a character carries a film camera the entire movie with angled shots provided by various video cameras that the characters have set up around the house, but it has absolutely none of the sight gags, one liners, or off the wall humor that those kind of spoof movies rely upon. This tries to poke fun at ghost movies the same way that Dale & Tucker vs Evil did to hillbilly slasher flicks, but unfortunately it just falls flat on it's face.Some of the acting, or overacting, isn't the best. Carlos Santos is the standout actor, he is likable and seems to be one of those people who is gifted with being naturally funny without really having to do anything, I'd expect to see him being cast in supporting roles in larger comedies in the future and I would watch those comedies because of him. But really it's not the actors fault that this movie didn't succeed, you could of had a comedic genius like Leslie Nielsen in it and the horribly unfunny script would of swallowed him whole.Maybe it will appeal to some peoples sense of humor. For reference I like comedies like Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Community, Louis, Judd Apatow movies, New Girl, most things with Seth Rogen in them, Blackadder, IT Crowd (or anything written by Graham Linehan), Monty Python, Arrested Development, to name just a few. I also enjoyed the original Naked Gun movies as well as the first couple of Scary Movie outings. This movie made me laugh out loud once and chuckle inwardly maybe 4 or 5 times. 5 stars out of 10 because as the first line of this review says "this is not a horrible movie", it's just not a very funny movie.

In order to impress a girl, two roommates set out to make a documentary about a murder that took place in their house. The girl thinks that the victim's ghost is still there, so the two guys think that making a movie with her will get them somewhere with her. But after they set cameras up around the house, things begin to happen that seem supernatural.They realise that the ghost is real, and its become smitten with them....So the film has been released in the US for just over a month, and here in the UK, it's already in Netflix, so my expectations were understandably very low.And even though they were low, I never laughed once, or even smiled, because it just wasn't interesting, and to parody the found footage movie is not a very good choice, because the majority of them have become self parody (see PA4 for example).The two leads are annoying, think a really cheap version of Harold and Kumar, and your there, the rest of the cast are just as bad, especially the flat mate who gets possessed.It picks up a little in the last five minutes, but you have to trawl through a load of old cobblers beforehand.One of the topics on this films message board is claiming that people are voting fraudulently because the score is so low.I've seen it, and I know why its so low, it's pretty awful...
