3.5/5

Embracing the rough lo-fi style of the mumblecore movement, Ghostwritten tells the familiar story of a writer going insane in an isolated cabin.

Ghostwritten is a Faustian horror story about the lengths a human will go to in order to be remembered.

Jay Duplass can't inject the quirky energy this film needs.

It is a short but slow burner of a film, one that feels like it was made in the early 90s Sundance boom-era, but possesses shadows of a premonition of the 21st century streaming micro-budget digital world that would follow.

2/5

I couldn’t spoil the ending if I wanted to because the mumbled and mixed soundscape made the revelation impossible to understand. I watched the last 30 minutes twice and couldn’t make heads nor tails of it.

For much of its running time, Ghostwritten gets by on that abstract weirdness.

I didn't like this movie at all. I didn't find it necessary to switch back and forth so many times, and I didn't like the camera work.
