‘A Ghost Waits’ A Perfect Romantic Comedy – Screamfest 2020 Movie Review

If you love a little romance with your spooky vibes, A Ghost Waits is for you! This film recently premiered at Screamfest 2020 and won the best actor, director, and picture at Frightfest 2020!

A Ghost Waits

This was the directorial debut for Adam Stovall and he created movie magic with a remarkable comedy romance. The cast stars MacLeod Andrews (The Siren), Natalie Walker, Sydney Vollmer, and Amanda Miller.

Synopsis for A Ghost Waits

Jack’s job is to fix up the house. Spectral agent Muriel’s eternal task is to haunt it. They should be enemies, but they become fascinated by one another and eventually smitten, leading them to question everything about their work, lives, and decisions. But as pressure mounts for them to fulfil their duties, something’s got to give for the time together they both so desperately want.

When going into this film, think Beetlejuice meets Ghost but with its own originality and uniqueness. I personally loved everything about this film from the story to the perofrmances to the cinematography.

A Ghost Waits

Sometimes love happens in the most inconvenient and unexpected ways, and this is most definitely true in A Ghost Waits. It’s cute, sweet, and just a fun film that everyone can enjoy and most importantly not take too seriously. It has just the right amount of comedy and romance.

All of the acting in this film is great, but MacLeod Andrews’ performance stands out above the rest. There’s just something about his charismatic presence on the screen that captures your attention and leaves you wanting to know more about his character and how his story will end.

I really loved the imagery and cinematography in this film and the fact they chose to film it in black and white. There’s something charming about simply beautiful about black and white photography and film it fits the tone and atmosphere of A Ghost Waits perfectly.

Final Thoughts

A Ghost Waits is the perfect romantic comedy with a speck of spookiness that will hit your right in the feels. I hope everyone gets an opportunity to enjoy this film and experience the magic Adam created.
