Ghost Town (Independent Film Critique)

Ghost Town was a great film that I could watch over and over again. It takes events that would normally sound scary (such as seeing ghosts and dying), and turns it into a dramatic comedy. The mixture of serious and funny scenes made the movie really entertaining and original. I loved the hidden sarcasm and dry personality of the main character Pincus. You can tell when he starts to fall in love with Gwen by his change of character and appearance. There are little hints throughout the movie that show Pincus becoming selfless. The way he treats other people is a reflection about how he feels about himself and his own life. Frank; the main ghost, wants to get rid of Richard supposedly because he thinks he's a "gold digger," but you can tell by the way he acts that he really just doesn't like him. Frank is insecure from cheating on Gwen, although he never admits it in the film. I thought this film was creative because the characters actions would lead you to think one thing, but would result in another. For example, Pincus's main goal was to get rid of Richard, but as a result he fell in love with Gwen. The mixture of comedy and drama also made this movie amusing to watch.
