Story is holding up but it is a Halloween movie like there are Christmas movies. I liked the connection with the vilain past of english invasion. Nicolas was acting very well, looking properly ghastly when appropriate.

PAY THE GHOST sees the extraordinarily hard-working Nicolas Cage having a go at the horror genre in the form of this miserable, greyed-out ghost story. He plays a somewhat bumbling teacher and father who manages to lose his kid at a carnival and goes on a quest to find him again. It soon transpires that dark supernatural forces are at work, forcing Cage to enter a kind of netherworld to retrieve his child. As with most Hollywood ghost stories, this plays out with a maximum of cheesy CGI effects used to represent ghostliness and a minimum of wit and intelligence. Cage tries hard to invest in his role but doesn't quite succeed while Sarah Wayne Callies doesn't seem to try at all as his wife. As for the scares, well, you can forget about any of them.

With movies with Nicolas Cage you never know what you are going to get. Sometimes they are bad, sometimes they are good. Pay The Ghost isn't really bad but it isn't the greatest either honestly. But it remains watchable if you have absolutely nothing else to do. I will for sure only watch it once and not a second time. Not that I think I wasted my time or so but it just misses something to make it good. The story is what it is, not really strong, not very frightening either, but not that that bad either. The cast is okay, not great, just okay. it could have used a bit more special effects and scary moments. It's just an average movie, good to watch once and then forget about it.

Wonderful, smooth film. The action never ends and there is a ghost different subjects. Nicolas still shows great performance. You can watch without getting bored. Scared been a bit more fantastic. In fact it could be better. The film was stretched a little time in doing so. The most crucial areas does not take much. This seems to be the sequel. at least I perceive it. If you continue in my opinion it would be fine. Visual effects, music and so much good although really impressive monitored. You do not understand how that time is not now. I would recommend to those watching. I do not understand why this movie actually given so few points. I think it deserves a high score.
