ghost that mess with perception

just bore me.

what's the point? you can watch a whole movie and then the director just says "nah, none of that really happened, this is what really happened and it will blow your mind" but not really, because there is absolutely nothing clever about it. it's been done a hundred times and even a child could conceive the premise.

as soon as you introduce a scene about altered perception, everything that follows is pointless. why should i care if there is a homeless guy peeing in the lobby when he might not be real? or creepy chick crawling out from under the desk, or phone calls about a girl in distress. if everything presented to me is just a deception, i simply can't invest myself in it.

this is mostly why i hate ghost movies. there aren't any rules or logic to what's going on and no logical way for the hero to fight against it. what's the point of something creepy following the protagonist that she can't see but the audience can? are the ghosts aware of the movie audience? why would a ghost be trying to creep out a third person not in the scene and be completely invisible to the one person in the scene?
