The Ghosting

About This Movie

So, 'The Ghosting' from 1991—definitely a curious piece in the horror genre. It’s got this gritty, almost oppressive atmosphere that really encapsulates the stress of its characters. The spunky mom and her Vietnam-veteran husband are relatable enough, but what makes it stand out is the shape-shifting ghost, which is pretty unsettling at times. The practical effects are hit-or-miss but add a certain rawness that's hard to overlook. You feel the pacing drag a bit, especially in the quieter moments, but that just builds tension in a way that feels deliberate. The film dives into themes of trauma and family, wrapped in a rather unique setting—an old church, no less. It’s a mix of the familiar and the bizarre that can be intriguing for horror aficionados.
