If you are looking for a really scary film that will stay with you long after the credits have rolled, this is not the movie for you. If however you are looking for a more relaxed, popcorn thriller, with mostly great special effects this is worth a watch. The acting is top notch and the big four really deliver. Ghost Story has never looked better. The picture is crystal clear and the audio is magnificent. The only thing keeping this from a 5 star review is the ending to the film. It comes across as very flat and doesn't really pay off to the level that is has built. Having said that, it is still a fun film and one you will enjoy even more if you have proper expectations.
This review is from Ghost Story [Blu-ray] [1981]

This is a great movie classic. It is an older movie, but is still well worth watching.

I've seen Ghost Story on tons of "Best of' Horror lists that tout it as an under-seen and terrifying film and felt the overwhelming need to finally experience it for myself.
After my blind buy and first viewing, I didn't exactly find it to be particularly frightening. It has a slow, plodding story with no real scares, just a subtly uneasy atmosphere. I LOVE great atmospheric movies, with stories that gradually build to a real pay off, but all the parts of GS didn't come together for me.
The horrific elements, which are quite few, only really manifest at the end and are very, very brief, preceding a rather unsatisfying conclusion. The film title actually feels something like a misnomer, upon reflection.
That said, the cast are all celebrated "older" actors and they really deliver believable performances, considering the subject matter. Alice Krige is, as always, phenomenal in what could have been a pretty straight forward role. She is both sincere and appropriately creepy at the drop of a syllable.
However, in the end, this is one for the already established fans only, in my opinion.

Ghost Story has some great old time actors, and the lady that played the Borg Queen in Star Trek, Alice Krige. I found the movie quite interesting and at times scary. See it with a partner late at night with the lights off.

My neighbors are big horror fans, and I purchased this as a gift for them on advice from a friend. They were skeptical, but they told me they really enjoyed it, and plan on recommending it to others.

This movie has a great cast and tells a solid ghost story, although some of the special effects are cheesy all these years later, A fun movie, nothing classic, however.
