Ghost Track (2022): A Supernatural Horror Story With Mysteries That Make Audiences Think

The movie Ghost Track (2022) received positive reviews from both audiences and critics thanks to its smooth combination of classic horror and modern elements. Some highlights of the movie include:

1. The combination of ghost stories and slasher genre
Ghost Track builds a creepy atmosphere with a plot revolving around a vengeful spirit, imbued with classic ghost stories.

2. Effective scare effects

The movie does not abuse simple “jump scare” scenes, but instead uses a way to create a naturally scary atmosphere.

Long shots and tense silence before something scary happens make the audience feel extremely nervous.

Sound and light are used appropriately to increase the creepy effect.

3. Influence from John Carpenter’s style

Many viewers commented that Ghost Track is reminiscent of the films of director John Carpenter, especially Halloween (1978).
The use of background music with a haunting, repetitive melody creates a constant sense of threat.

The cast, although not all A-list stars, still portray the characters realistically and emotionally.

In particular, the actor who plays the spirit Morris is praised for his ability to convey melancholy and anger through his eyes and gestures, instead of relying solely on CGI effects.
The film takes advantage of large spaces and darkness to enhance the mystery, similar to the way Carpenter uses light and shadow in his films.
4. The script has depth, not just based on scares
Not just a simple horror film, Ghost Track also exploits the character’s psychology, especially the feeling of guilt and fear from the past.
The characters in the film are not random victims but they have a connection with Morris’s soul, making the story more coherent and meaningful.
Does Morris want revenge or a warning?

At first, Morris seems to be a vengeful entity, but some details reveal that he may just want to send a message.
Is Morris’ presence to spread terror, or is there a deeper reason?
5. Images and filming techniques
The camera angles are well-staged, helping to increase tension and the feeling of being watched.
Many scenes take advantage of cold colors and dim lighting to create a supernatural effect, making the viewer feel like they are being pulled into the world of Morris’s soul.
Overall, Ghost Track (2022) is not only an entertaining horror film but also a work that is carefully invested in terms of image, sound and story. Therefore, it is loved by both audiences and critics.
