3/10
Good idea

Warning: Spoilers
The ambitious host of an amateur ghost hunting show called Ghost Seekers who wants to keep his show pure, unlike the competition but is sick of the same old boring haunts that every other show encounters. He drops the entire budget of the season by asking another host to tell him what houses they plan on exploring and heads to a place that may really be more than his team is ready for.

This movie is directed by Dean Alioto, who also created Alien Abduction: Incident In Lake County, a found footage film that predates The Blair Witch. He co-wrote it with Peter Dukes, who wrote and directed 2017's Escape Room.

The Dalva house, where the haunting in the movie happens, is really the place where Ben Affleck and Matt Damon wrote Good Will Hunting.

Ryan Merriman is the lead and he's been in plenty of stuff, from the TV series Pretender to The Jurassic Games. The producer of his show is played by Jamie Tisdale, who was on the From Dusk 'Til Dawn TV series the film The Devil's Candy.

Perhaps the best-known actress in the movie is Heather Langenkamp, who was Nancy in the A Nightmare on Elm Street films. She's now the co-owner of AFX Studio and was doing the effects for American Horror Story: Cult by day and shooting this film in the evening.

I've seen enough ghost chasing movies to last me until 2030, but this is a well-made movie that fans of this genre will enjoy.
