Ghost Shark - 2013 *

Oh good lord. This was (obviously) not going to be a good film. It's horrendously acted, horrendously shot, and to make matters worse,there is a rumour circulating that the directors and writers at the Sci-Fi channel sat around and took out 2 pieces of paper out of a hat of random words; these two words had to be made into a film, hence 'Ghost Shark.'

I feel a bit sorry for the ghost shark, partly because it looks like a CGI luminous nightmare, and partly because it has to share screen time with a load of morons who couldn't act if their lives depended on it. 

To say this film had a particularly ugly cast was a gross understatement. 

(HORROR) Haunted - 1995 **

'Haunted' is one of those films that looks like it's going to be brilliant. And to be honest if you described the story it would come across like 'The Awakening' which I thought was terrifying. An old house, set in 1920s, ghosts, creepy music - it's pretty much my ideal film. Except it wasn't. It was slow, not in the least bit scary, very odd towards the end and Kate Beckinsale gave a very wooden performance. Saying that, so did Aidan Quinn. She spent the whole film whimpering and quivering and he spent his time giving confused and spaced out glances to everyone he spoke to. I don't really understand the plot. So that was another black mark against it.
