This is a nice piece of really fun and honest narrative into the "paranormal-caught-on-tape" phenomena. The film makers are relatable and down to earth, and their investigations are earnest attempts with a healthy balance of skeptic vs believer. The sad thing is the sound on this film is almost detrimental to my ability to truly enjoy some great story telling. Some clips are SO QUIET and the next clip will be SO LOUD. Not in a Hollywood blasting-music-and-lowered-speech-atmospheric-trickery kind of way, but more in an amateur mic work kind of way. I was really enjoying the satirical lens on televised "ghost hunting" mixed with a search for "the truth". The sound problems took me out of their story and lowered the value of the film. Give it a watch- have your remote handy to battle the fluctuations of volume- and enjoy what the filmmakers were trying to do.

I just finished watching this movie and I really liked it alot. They were genuine in their quest to see if ghosts really do exist after they gave an online poll asking people if they believed in ghosts, 70% said yes but only 30% said they'd had a personal experience to back up their belief. I found the movie funny, quick witted and informative. If you have any curiosity in the paranormal field, you'll probably enjoy this movie too. I honestly wouldn't mind if they made a "Part 2"!

This was a cute little documentary. However, I'm not sure why they thought they had to eat so much candy during the documentary; I ended up fast forwarding through much of the movie.

A fun look at ghost hunting, but 1/3 of the film is inaudible due to bad sound equipment and poorly chosen filming locations. [Hint: protect the mic from the wind]. Would probably have benefited from less pissing about and sarcastic, forced, 'trying to be cool' comments to camera, and more research. I feel like they didn't really have a clear plan of what they wanted this documentary to be from the start. Get rid of the goofy screen wipes, the daft background music and the equipment not suited to what you needed to film and it may have been better. I was left feeling like I was intruding in a group of mates having a laugh, rather than having learnt anything.

Going into this it was suggested after watching "Alienators" which if you enjoy raunchy "Mockumtery" comedies (it's a hard R rating) you would enjoy maybe. So I wasn't sure if this was going to be based on truth, or one of those spoof ones. IT IS factual, it's based in reality, it's not a parody. I at first (first 15 minutes or so) was a bit lost as to exactly what they're doing and what the goal here is...but once you get settled in, and you find out it's a group just going to haunted locations and seeing what they can (or can't) find...it becomes very entertaining. I loved Bill, the little hands he brings along are really hilarious! And they actually break down many myths behind things, such as "orbs", "spirit boxes" etc etc. and you won't find anything amazing that will make you believe or not believe...but I WILL say funny enough, this show gave us way more to chew on, ghost/spirit wise than almost ANY of those ghost hunting shows you watch. In many ways this is an "anti-ghosting hunting show" show. They talk about how the many ghost hunting shows out there are just trash, and pretty much all fakes. One thing that kinda threw me is there are TWO DIFFERENT girls Witt short hair, the one you see wearing the white tank top in interviews is NOT the same one you see doing the investigations, and that kind of blew my mind because I didn't even realize until it was about over!! Overall, it's not bad! If you are like me, and you lean towards "ghosts aren't real"...but you like me, want to see what happens when normal people like you and I go to these places and try to encounter spirits just to see? Then you'll enjoy this!! I loved when they went to places with big time ghost believers, and just debunked the heck out of everything they were hearing and feeling etc. I kind of wish the entire show was just THAT! Them just following major believers, and debunking it along the way! I was also pleasantly surprised that it really gets better as it goes on, most shows tend to wind down and putter out. This gets better, until it nears its climax ice they head to the final location, and the USS Hornet. Give it a go, if you're interested in ghosts! You'll enjoy MORE if you lean towards not believing for sure!

I have to admit it, I'm a little jealous that these guys had the chance to put together such a fun and interesting documentary. The group had great chemistry, and I imagine how fun it'd be to have a similar experience with some of my old buddies. The film doesn't take itself too seriously, which is probably its biggest selling point. So don't watch this expecting to see ghosts around every corner, or expecting to have spooky music to heighten your suspense. That being said, there certainly are some eerie things that will make you wonder. Additionally, one of the more intriguing aspects of the film was the group interviewing Lloyd Auerbach, a renowned parapsychologist. Whether you agree with him or not, it was interesting to hear an expert in the field discuss his thoughts on the subject. All in all, I'd recommend others watch this film--as not only was it humorous, but you'll actually learn a lot about ghosts and the ghost hunting industry itself.

Ghostumentary is an enjoyable and light look at ghost hunting and our individual quests as humans to try and understand the truth of supernatural phenomena. While there are a few creepy question mark moments, this is not a "get your spook on" and open your brain's fear center -kind-of-show. But that doesn't mean ghost hunting enthusiasts won't enjoy it. What I love about Ghostumentary is that it makes no assumptions. Are there ghosts? How much of ghost hunting is real or faked or the result desperation for finding results? These are all answered with a light hearted "I don't know, but isn't it fun trying to find out." No one takes themselves too seriously, presses a point, or pontificates. While I wouldn't quite describe the filmmakers as "everymen", their doofy fooling around gives an air of credibility, that they really are just trying to be normal people with their own differing beliefs exploring this realm. I love the world of ghost hunting shows, and this was no different. It was nice for a change to have people not automatically assume every spirit box utterance is a ghost and every bad mood is possession, while at the same time acknowledging the experiences they really couldn't explain. I don't know why the IMDb score is so low for Ghostumentary, except to say that some people prefer to understand movies in clear cut boxes and you can't pigeonhole Ghostumentary. It's a bit of believer and a bit of skeptic. Part hunt, part examination of the hunters. A fun dip in the shallow side of a deep cultural pool. I'd enjoy a sequel if they felt inspired to put one out.
