Ghost (1990)

And so the story goes .. that's the way many stories end. But not this one and this is the way I like to tell it -
Hot shot New York banker, Sam Wheat (Patrick Swayze) and the beautiful Molly (Demi Moore), a sculptor and avant garde are a couple very much in love. Theirs is a romance we all dream of having but this love story is wrought with tragedy. Sam is killed in what is believed to be a mugging and the only way to prove otherwise isn't as simple as all that. Playing detective is Sam's ghost but not alone. He seeks the help of a much sought after psychic, Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg). Here unravels a tale of love, treachery, motivated by greed and then culminates with sweet revenge.
Always a favorite with me and if I need a good boo-hoo, it's on, period!

And with goose-bumps and all The Righteous Brothers (1965) - Unchained Melody

Shut In (2016)


A psychologist working from home, Mary Portman (Naomi Watts) lives in beautiful rural New England. Having been widowed after losing her husband in a car crash she now cares for the survivor of the crash, her stepson, Steven (Charlie Heaton). However looking after Steven, a paralytic confined to a wheelchair, is no mean feat. So Mary finally comes to the difficult decision to send Steven to a home that she believes would do him a world of good.
In an approaching storm and being cut-off from civilization with no power, Mary has the distinct feeling that she and Steven are not alone. There is a presence 👻 ... but can science be the voice of reason or will the belief in the supernatural make a convert of a pundit of science?
What is the mystery surrounding the Portmans' residence?
During this film what incidentally came to my mind was the insane thriller "Don't Breathe".
Oooops ... Did I give away too much now!
The film was alright but was a definite good late night watch. 👀
