What critics compared Ghost Story to
It is also a film far removed from a conventional Hollywood-style knight’s tale, as distant as “A Ghost Story” was from something like “Ghost Story”– there is more of the Bergman of “The Seventh Seal” than the Boorman of “Excalibur” here.
Lowery has brought this style to stories like “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints,” about outlaw lovers on the run, and “Ghost Story,” a transcendental drama about death.
But if you happened to experience his emotionally exhausting Ain’t Them Bodies Saints (2013) or his mesmerizing A Ghost Story (2017), you know Lowery as a steadfastly confident filmmaker; one who seizes on an idea and plows ahead with it with ingenious recklessness.
Midsommar, The Witch and A Ghost Story have all recently terrorised audiences by taking them on a mental trip.
Ecco, forse ricorderete pure Scott Derrickson che dirigeva The Exorcism of Emily Rose e poi assestava un bel colpo nell’affollato ring dell’horror con Sinister, una ghost story di tutto rispetto sui macabri traslochi di uno scrittore in crisi.
