    Tonight’s movie was Netflix’s “We Have a Ghost.” I laughed, I cringed, I got a bit misty, overall I enjoyed it. More a campy family film than a conventional horror movie (aside from one scene), with solid performances from the cast. The commentary on social media and phone use was a bit… heavy.

    This was me and my girl's experience this past weekend with [We Have A Ghost ](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7798604/) Reviewers on the left and us in the right. All the reviews we saw were negative, but we'd already decided to watch it, based on a bit of the trailer. Looked kinda like a tame family movie. It was nothing like what we expected, but we had a good time watching it. Will we ever watch it again? Most likely not, but we enjoyed it.

    And it's written by Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky, We Have a Ghost). There was a little while when every time I was very pleasantly surprised by a recent horror movie being better than expected, he turned out to be involved.

    And the character is a ghost? 😹 (have you seen “We Have A Ghost”? I accidentally started watching it thinking it was a tv show and after like 75 min was like, “wow, this is a really long pilot,” then realized it was a movie but I had to get to sleep & I haven’t finished it yet!!)

    This is a good interview. Looking forward to We have a Ghost when it hits NetFlix on Friday. Happy Death Day 3 is probably the unmade film I want to see the most. I hope someone funds it! Don’t Put Filmmaker Christopher Landon Into a Box (Scary or Otherwise) Film fans know Landon for his horror offerings, from "Paranormal Activity" to "Happy Death Day," but as he tells IndieWire, he's all about scaring up something new.…

    28 - We Have A Ghost Watched this at my workplace a few weeks ago The first half is kind of a generic comedy movie, but then it all of a sudden decides to play things completely straight and the jokes just stop It’s an okay movie with a weird tone shift

    So I watched "We Have a Ghost" last night and it is a really cute, family movie. Sure it is neat to see captain America and the red guardian in a non mcu movie together. But it is a way better movie than I would have thought, hearing nothing about it. #movies #family

    Finally watched We Have A Ghost. It's SO FRUSTRATING because it has so many good elements that just don't come together (and I love Christopher Landon films)!! I wanted to like it more than I did! I think it can't decide if it wants to be a Spielberg film or a Happy Death Day.

    Up until the racist country cop scene I was actually wondering if We Have a Ghost was maybe acquired by Netflix because it was pretty silly fun with no real issues, but it's clearly a Netflix movie made by Netflix.

    We Have A Ghost is not only a funny movie, but it's also a charming one that is fueled by great performances from Anthony Mackie and David Harbour. I have to give even more praise to Harbour though for delivering a heart-warming performance while not saying a single word! (Photo credit: Frame Rated)

    October Horror Movie A Day 2024 Movie #18: We Have A Ghost (Landon, 2023) *** out of five What if you remade ET, but instead he was a ghost, and there was a mystery too? I was surprised by how invested I was in it. However, it's also overlong, and doesn't REALLY know when to end.

    Dishonorable Mention is a tie. While most of them had something in them that might be interesting to someone, these two were a huge waste of time We Have A Ghost (the very second that the ghost goes outside, just stop watching. consider that midway point the end) and Spirit Halloween: The Movie ugh

    We Have a Ghost (Netflix) was fun and fits nicely into the fun family-friendly ghost movie like Ghostbusters, Beetlejuice, and the Frighteners. What other movies also fall into that category?

    Watching We Have A Ghost and I don't understand why such a good cast signed on. It's too dour to be funny It's too silly to be dramatic It's too intense to be a family film It's too tame to be a horror It's not charming enough to be quirky I just don't get what it wants to be.

    My son and I are watching #WeHaveAGhost and he just straight up said "Who is Jimmy Hendrix?" 😮‍💨 We....live near Jimmy Hendrix park in Seattle. I've played Jimmy Hendrix a lot in his lifetime. 'Smoke on the Water' is in School of Rock, which he has seen. He's also seen Bill & Ted Face the Music. Guess I'm pulling out some music.

    #Netflix #WeHaveAGhost Quite an attempt that ends up being all over the place. Funny and a spectacle, then car chase runaway kids/ghost flick, then murder mystery flick with a violent turn and a dozen huge plot holes. I'm not sure what the point was?

    FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://thatshelf.com/we-have-a-ghost-review/ "We Have a Ghost holds a fun concept and a charming cast, but Christopher Landon disappoints with a disjointed, overlong, easily forgettable story. The incessant attempts to approach various subject matters through different genres destroy a screenplay that garnered attention for the simplicity of its premise, but which ends up becoming an unnecessarily complex mess without any idea of what it wants to be. Wasting David…
