Ghost Stories review

I'm very divided on Ghost Stories.

For most of the film, I was really enjoying it. There were good scares, an effective build of tension and creepiness, some interesting ideas, and enough ambiguity to be enjoyable, but not too confusing. It was quite an entertaining fun fair thrill ride.

Then, the twists started. At first, I went along with it, as I was interested where they were going to take it. Sadly, the twists kept coming, and the final one seemed so lazy that it made me appreciate the film as a whole less.  When I say lazy, I mean it's extremely overused and is a joke. The ending is actually set up well throughout the film when you think about it. But there are parts of the ending which seem inserted to explain away stuff the ending couldn't explain on its own. I also don't think it answers some of the questions brought up during the film, and also introduces more questions without answers.

In short: If you like horror films, you should see it and make up your own mind. If you will watch horror films, but aren't a big fan of them, I would also say that you should see it and decide for yourself.
