Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

alansmithee04 I'd love to report that The Ghosts of Edendale is a little gem of an no-budget indy horror film. But if I were to make such a comparison, the gem in question would be a garnet. Sure, it's kinda pretty. But it's also a dime-a-dozen.Technological advances always drive independent film making and there's always a market for cheaply made horror films. That's the only two reasons I can think of why Ghosts of Edendale exists. Calling it "woefully underdeveloped" is the most charitable thing I can think to describe this effort. Calling it "a mediocre waste of time" is the most honest.

krickett56 well yet again i have given another low-budget film a try. this one was extremely dull and the girl that played Rachel? yeah...she sucked. none of the other characters rocked my world either. the special effects were really cheesy and i found myself shaking my head in disbelief. thank god i didn't spend money on it! how do people get away with putting this crap out to the masses? the ONLY reason i am even giving it a "2" is because i think it made me do one of those suspenseful/scary movie "jumps" that you do when something happens you don't expect. otherwise it was a total waste of time...take my word for it.

hhbooker2-1 This haunting surreal motion picture takes place in Edenville in East Hollyood on the former ranch of Tom Mix, a famous cowboy actor of the silent era of the silver screen. Prior to the untimely death of Tom Mix, he and the studios were attempting to transition into sound films after 1929, but they and the makers of Westerns were having a tough sell of cowboy genre. In this tale, a young couple move from back East to make a new life in the West and get into a different lifestyle for the sanity of Rachel played brilliantly by Paula Ficara who appears to see ghosts along with her husband Kevin portrayed by Stephen Wasteall who has dreams of fitting into the Hollywood scene. They first encounter a neighbor named Andrew who does not quite fit in and then he mysteriously disappears leaving behind a vintage automobile and his possessions. Rachel starts seeing ghosts in the closet starting with a little boy who appears to have aged and rotted while being recognizable as a child and then she saw a ghost who looks like her husband Kevin dressed in cowboy costume like that worn by the late Tom Mix and as the apperation pulls away the kerchief over his face, it suddenly rots away and turns into dust. Later Rachel is watching an old black and white Tom Mix motion and notices Kevin's face on the cowboy in the scene, after that she falls apart and tries to leave and she herself becomes a ghost, the ghosts of those who just did not make it in Hollywood who haunt Edandale Hill! Although the film was shot in colour, it is like experiencing a black and white movie complete with shadows in the style of Orson Wells' "Citizen Kane" and ranks in my personal opinion as a soon-to-be CULT FILM and a must have DVD or VHS video for you and your friends.

JawsOne Paula Ficara is a talented actress, but it's unfortunate that she was given such a weak, stilted script to work with. The remainder of the cast were just cardboard cutouts of what the characters should have been. Granted, the ghost story that is tied into the early days of Hollywood is quite interesting. The cinematography looked like poorly lit mini-DV with blown out shots and poorly framed subjects, with edits being loosely done making shots appear as if they dragged on too long, needlessly. The one saving grace, aside from Ms. Ficara, were the special FX which were very well done indeed. The film did get better about 1.25 hours into it, but by that point you couldn't care one way or the other what happened. Then it was, thankfully, over.
