    I watched this movie out of the blue and highly randomly and was of mixed minds, but I think I've actually boiled down to my final opinion: it was bad.

    Alan Cumming is a phenomenal genius; his direction was wonderful and the screenplay one that makes you notice. His performance...( read more) was also quite brilliant and he brought the insanity of his character to life.

    However, this movie is a wild extravaganza from beginning to end, it's unlikely and brutally all over the place, and it tries to grip onto elements that just don't work for it -such as the originality of its plot. Twisted, dark, claustrophobic and ultimately ridiculous.

    I'm not sure what to think of this one. Usually love Alan Cummins, he;s one incredibly talented Actor, but this one I really didn't get into. The story was pretty good, the Cast was great, but his over the top performance was...strange. It was wild and confusing, but good and exc...( read more)iting, if that makes any sense. Something about this though, that made it not so my cup of tea.

    A poorly made movie

    I was dissapointed with this one it as a good cast and the story seemed alright.
    The cast was average but the story was just a mess it went on with someone being horrible to sebastian by putting tape over is mouth.
    The things in this film were discusting ...( read more)but thats not what I was expecting I was expecting for it too be scary but it just wasn't it was discusting but it wasn't scary or jumpy in anyway.
    The story was very poor it was boring and the story hardly got anywhere the story was done in hardly any detail the story just seemed to go on and on but just didn't get anywhere interesting.I just didn't like this movie at all the story was just boring and not done in hardly any detail the cast was just average and the twists just didn't give me plenty of surprises.

    Overall I thought this film was very poorly done which was a shame because it had a very strong cast I was really dissapointed with this and deffinitlly will not reccomend this too the horror fans this film wasn't even scary.

    I recommend this film for horror and thriller fans, although you won't get much in the way of gore or many scares. It's more of a violent drama.

    alan cumming a bit manic, and in diferent modes here as a ecentric gay writer who takes revenge on a wannabee playright who he thinks is using him, i beloieve its a stageplay, and it does show, some acting going on here

    Alan Cumming was once a talent to watch but he seems to have lost his spark and settled in a messy zone. Ghost Writer is a boring and hard to watch movie that has very little going for it baring a decent cast who have little to work with. Because of this the performances fall f...( read more)lat.
