One would hope that after reading all the comments here that it would sink in to the producer, story creator, director, and actor known as Dean Teaster, that he has a lot to learn. His name is plastered all over this movie, so hit is a safe assumption that he is one to take ultimate responsibility. There is another director mentioned, but having worked on enough sets I can spot a first time director's safety net when I see one. (i.e. he is only mentioned once, is not part of the title on the box, and has directed before) The numerous comments and reviews about Ghost Town all seem to take on a common theme, that all boil down to a fundamental lack of understanding about how a story goes together. Many comment on the incredibly poor job of editing, which is so blatant I am surprised the other editor or producers let it go out in its present form. They are either blind or lack any quality control over the final product. Many comment on the confusing storyline, which can be glimpsed at times but gets lost in the muddied organization of scenes. What I have to add to all of these comments is this: Do not dismiss them. Read them. Absorb what they have to say. Admit that you need a lot of help. Ghost Town shows us a dangerous combination. A fundamental lack of talent coupled with an overly ambitious ego.

I truly can't remember the last time I stopped watching a movie. I usually give a movie the benefit of the doubt and see where it goes. The aggravating intro with the Indian woman? Scanned through it. The absolutely poor audio in the jail cell? Scanned through it. The editing that made each cut two beats too long? Scanned through it. The dialog that should have been rehearsed and a better take selected? Scanned through it and EJECTED! I saw maybe five minutes of the film. Typing this took me longer. I quit this movie so fast and I didn't look back. Upon turning this report in, they tell me it's too short and I need to add two more lines of text. I just don't see how this movie deserves any more commentary.

They may have tried hard,but there is a rash of inexperience both in front of the camera and behind it that kills the film almost immediately and makes the viewer wish he had chosen something else to watch.Even the more experienced actors like Rance Howard and Bill McKinney come away looking bad because of the painfully ridiculous dialog written for them by the film's inexperienced script writers.The story is interesting enough,though,and would probably have come out looking a lot better with a more seasoned crew in charge.While it might be true that this film was not intended to be a blockbuster,it still has to be entertaining,and it comes up painfully short.
