Pay the Ghost
Mike Cole is haunted by eerie images and terrifying messages he can't explain. One year after his young son disappeared during a Halloween carnival, together with his estranged wife, he will stop at nothing to unravel the mystery and find their son - and, in doing so, he unearths a legend that refuses to remain buried in the past.

Only for die hard fans of Nicolas Cage. [Full review in Spanish]

A new low for Nicolas Cage. Just when you thought he couldn't get any more apathetic about a role, he pops up in this lazy, boring retread of "Insidious" that even his most diehard fans should ignore.

In "Pay the Ghost," Nicolas Cage investigates a supernatural abduction but has no solution for the maggot-eaten zombie that is his undead career.

It is a bland attempt of supernatural horror that becomes more and more embarrassing in every imaginable aspect. [Full review in Spanish]

An average film that never really quite works. [Full review in Spanish]

If it's remembered for nothing else, and it almost certainly won't be, Uli Edel's "Pay the Ghost" can at least make a claim to being the first film to feature a haunted razor scooter in a horror setpiece.

Fine, sure, "Pay the Ghost" if you have to. But do not pay good American money to see the movie of the same name.

Pay the Ghost is not as a complete time-waster as some of the actor's previous films. But it's still not smart or crafty enough to do much to regenerate and restore the actor's already tarnished flailing career.

Lacking horror and full of failed jump scares, this is another forgettable film by Cage. [Full review in Spanish]
September 24, 2015
Tidbits that would make the film interesting have been squandered. Instead, we get the standard-issue haunted-house fodder.

The director tries to scare us with jump scares and high pitched music, but as the film advances it becomes an involuntary comedy. [Full review in Spanish]
September 25, 2015
Sludgy greens and smudged blacks assault the eyes, and crashing sound cues accompany every scare - dead giveaways of a director, Uli Edel, who trusts neither his audience nor his images.
