4/10
The pontential was there, but it wasn't utilized...

I had not heard about "Ghost in the Graveyard" from writer and director Charlie Comparetto before I sat down to watch it. And why did I watch it? Well, solely because it was a horror movie and also because the movie's poster/cover was actually interesting.

The movie, however, wasn't all that interesting. In fact, it turned out to be a less than mediocre movie experience as a whole. The storyline wasn't overly thrilling or particularly captivating, and the movie was fairly slow-paced. Plus, it didn't really help much that the script and plot was just bland.

For a horror movie, then the 2019 movie "Ghost in the Graveyard" is a snoozefest and a movie that came and will go without leaving any dent in the horror genre. This is by no means a particularly memorable or outstanding horror movie. Sure, it is watchable, but hardly a movie that you will be watching a second time around.

The acting in the movie was adequate, although you shouldn't be expecting any grand Shakespearian performances here. I will say that Kelli Berglund, playing Sally, carried the movie quite well with her individual performance, just a shame she had so precious little to work with in terms of plot, script and storyline.

The movie is not a CGI heavy horror galore. In fact, there are very few special effects in the movie. I enjoy that, but the movie didn't have enough material in its storyline or script to support not having a grand spectacle of CGI effects. And to make matters worse, then there were hardly any usage of special effects throughout the course of the movie.

"Ghost in the Graveyard" is a less than mediocre horror experience, because it simply lacks scares and it doesn't really ever feel like the movie takes flight, so it just trots around in the mediocrity that it settled into.

My rating of this movie is a four out of ten stars.
