THE LONELY MAN WITH THE GHOST MACHINE (2024) Popcorn Frights 2024


After the end of the world a man  tries to reckon with his past and future as his dead wife returns and weird things begin to happen.

This is  going to be a tough film to write on. I say that because there is a point where there is a shift and what you thought at the start is found not to be so much true anymore. This is a film where what you know changes everything that has gone before, and as such I can’t say too much because too few have seen it.

The one thing that I will say is that the real key to how you like this film will depend upon what you think of Graham Skippers performance. Skipper is on screen pretty much the entire time  and if he isn’t in the frame he is just outside it. It’s a performance that, for me, walked the fine line between being good and being over the top. My feeling is that much of it would have been better on stage where some of his bigness would have not seemed over powering  because it wasn’t in a close up.

If you like twisty genre films this is worth a look
