Can you recommend a good movie about ghosts?

Asked by Frenchfry (7591points) August 31st, 2010

I really don’t want too gory please. Just suspenseful. I appreciate that. Thanks. Think I’ll relax and watch movies tonight.

You’ve seen Sixth Sense, right?!! After that, I’ve only got Ghost, or Casper…. hmmmm….

It’s not about ghosts per se, but The Mothman Prophecies was very suspenseful and scary to me.

I recommend Ghost also.
@hawaii_jake Mothman “happened” in my state of WV. About 40 miles away from my home.
There are some that say he was real.

Frenchfry's avatar

@hawaii_jake OOoooooo I gotta see that one. Nice. Thanks.
@ Chyna Even better that it might be real.

It happened in 1967, but they took a few liberties with the movie. I think they put it in present day as they showed cell phones and caller I.D. Other than that, it went along with what supposedly happened then.

The Others is excellent.

So is Session 9 and Rose Red is okay.

Frenchfry's avatar

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard I have not seen Session 9. I have seen Rose Red and the other. Good Choices though Thanks.

The Legend of Hell House
Beats Amityville “horror” by light years. deal with it

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Lurve for Session 9. Such an underappreciated movie.

Thirteen Ghosts is pretty great, but go for the original rather than the remake if you don’t care for gore. The Devil’s Backbone if you don’t mind subtitles. The original Haunting.

And High Spirits always makes me laugh.

@ipso Your like a real big movie fan. You should become a professional movie critic for a living. You would be very good at it.
