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.

rebel_slave I've seen a lot of people saying how bad this movie is... I think I understand why they didn't like it.1. It doesn't contain the special effects most people take for granted.2. It doesn't have an ending where there is a definitive winner per se... thus it can leave the viewer unsatisfied as they only want set answers.. usually where the bad guy wins.3. Not all That much happens.. the movie is based on you the viewer trying to work out what is going to happen and when...You end up while watching this movie trying to figure out how much is real and how much in the imagination of the female lead.You are given the information quite early on that she "sees" things after she sees a little boy in the cupboard who just runs away.The movie progresses from there with the turning point happening as she goes away for 5 days to a shoot which you know the husband isn't keen on.From there on hubby gets more and more wooden acting as though he were not quite sure how to react or respond to anything save for being mean.It does appear at first as though the guy doesn't know how to act, but in actual fact, watching it carefully you can see where he has taken on the role of the character who is supposed to be possessing him.There is only one definite murder in the entire film, and the ghosts themselves hurt no one... as with the rumours of ghosts, the only thing their role is for is to scare the hell out of the lead female who grows more and more paranoid up to the climax.The special effects are used nicely showing only as much as is necessary to make you jump if you're concentrating on it. With a nice trick of using the scenery to make it appear as though she is imagining everything still.. and apart from the death itself that Does happen.. you are left wondering even after the final credits roll...How much is in her mind...How much is real.I'd recommend watching this but don't expect to see tons of blood.. in fact.. don't expect to see Any blood. For someone who doesn't watch horror films to get grossed out... this film was fantastic.Rebby.

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.

chekedahurricane There's much to be said about a ghost story that comes along today in a different way. Without all the gore and violence subjected to so many horror movies now, this film will be a mom pleaser. It starts out with some slow acting, but immediately picks up with some clues of how the plot will go. Great visual special effects combine with unusual color patterns for the setting. Be sure and turn your volume up on the TV, as many sounds need to be heard. Except for a very loud telephone ring every now and then. I was impressed with the ghosts turning up at a moments notice when you least expect it. The ending leaves you hanging, and makes you wonder just who the heck the good guy was in this movie. Other than that, it kept me entertained without having to look at any blood or guts like so many movies now a days.
