Leave your thoughts about Pay the Ghost.
| The PlaylistGary GarrisonThe highest compliment that can be made of the movie is that it is harmless: never laughably bad, never painful, just pure mediocrity, from start to finish. |
| ShockTillYouDrop.comChris AlexanderPay the Ghost offers the best of both Cage worlds, giving the actor a finely etched character to play as well as an abstract, phantasmagorical cinematic canvas for him to explore. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongFine, sure, "Pay the Ghost" if you have to. But do not pay good American money to see the movie of the same name. |
| AV ClubJesse HassengerThe movie’s B-movie flimsiness is pervasive, and paired with an overall lack of B-movie flair, though director Uli Edel makes some game yarn-spinning attempts. |
| The Robot's VoiceLuke Y. ThompsonIt's too silly to merit the serious performance Cage is trying to give, and the director wasn't canny enough to trigger his star's bananas-freakout button, which could have created a camp classic. |
| TheFrightFile.comDustin PutmanIt's a little "Ransom," a little "Devil's Advocate," and a little "Darkness Falls" all wrapped up into one efficient, straightforward, not-overwhelming-but-certainly-diverting package. |
| Village VoiceChris PackhamThe script doesn't know the difference between being something scary and pointing at something scary. It's less a film than a series of imitative gestures, a bunch of horror signifiers pointing to nothing. |
| Cine 140Angie RamírezOnly for die hard fans of Nicolas Cage. [Full review in Spanish] |
| CinencuentroSebastian Zavala KahnAn average film that never really quite works. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanThis is a McDonald's meal of a movie, slapped together and designed to taste just like every other McDonald's meal you've ever eaten at any point in your life. |
