232. Ghost Story (1981)

May 17, 2014

My friend Patrick was shocked that I had never seen Ghost Story, and I don't like to disappoint my friends, so I gave it a watch. He was right when he said it was a great movie. It featured four old men in a secret club where they told each other ghost stories. The problem for them was the scariest ghost story was the real life one they were about to be part of. When one of the old men's son died under bizarre circumstances, his other son came home to stay with him for a while. That son more or less forced his way into the club and learned of a long-kept secret that the old men had shared for many years, involving a young woman they accidentally killed and then disposed of. Turned out the young woman had become a vengeful spirit and was back for blood. With a guilty conscience and a will to survive, the old men and their newest club member set out to make right what they had done and try not to get killed in the process. It was a well told story with superb acting and creepy atmosphere.
